<p style="margin-left:0px;">You can move across the country or to another continent and still feel a sense of home for certain places, people, or even dwellings. The concept of home is strong in our hearts, especially around the holidays, and whether&nbsp;you’re&nbsp;spending yours with friends, family or even&nbsp;second families, this holiday season&nbsp;we’re&nbsp;sharing a bit of our home with you.</p><p style="margin-left:0px;">The holiday season is a magical time with twinkly lights, excitement, gifts, friendly&nbsp;faces&nbsp;and plenty of holiday affairs. Whether&nbsp;you’re&nbsp;heading home for the holidays or starting new traditions wherever you are, there are certain traditions we love to pay homage to. And this year,&nbsp;we’re&nbsp;honouring&nbsp;our Australian heritage by packaging the 2025 Holiday Gift sets in an extra special keepsake.</p><p style="margin-left:0px;">In an exclusive collaboration with Australian Aboriginal Artist and proud Bundjalung woman, Holly Sanders—she has created custom artwork in a series titled Homeward Journey to Country for our limited-edition holiday gift sets. Each work of art speaks to the connection between hair,&nbsp;culture&nbsp;and the journey back to what truly grounds us and is inspired by the rich heritage of Australia’s First Nations peoples. With a variety of shapes,&nbsp;colours&nbsp;and patterns, these works present the story of belonging, of rituals, of connection and of home.</p><p style="margin-left:0px;">The 6 original pieces were created with Acrylic on Canvas, then transformed into premium keepsake boxes for our curated gift sets this year. Each piece features the&nbsp;colours&nbsp;that coincide with our regimens, in thoughtful shapes and patterns that let your hair reflect the joy of coming home. In addition to&nbsp;gifting&nbsp;you a piece of our home, we can only hope that these boxes find a new home as part of your belongings. Thoughtfully designed to be used long after the holidays, here are a few of our&nbsp;favourite&nbsp;ways to hold onto your box a little longer.</p><h3 style="margin-left:0px;"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);"><strong>Giving Your Gifts a Second Life</strong></span></h3><p style="margin-left:0px;"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);">The reusable keepsake cases were designed with love and longevity in mind.

As many return to their natural roots, enhancing colours that play off their base shade, having fun with their length is the obvious way to get creative this season. And when it comes to adding a playful touch to your look, it all comes down to the personalisation.</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>What The Experts Are Saying: Haircuts are no longer a one-size-fits-all option, and they haven’t been for a while. And while personalisation has always been key, this season stylists are pushing the envelope—creating statement looks with shapes tailored to each person. “Customising shapes with a contemporary feel is exactly what everyone is looking for now, and this stems from suitability. With the evolution of long and mid-length shapes, we notice a fresh direction towards square outline, contradicting seamless or multi-textured layers.” Says Van Loenhout. A great example this season is Bob haircut coming back strong with a '90s-inspired feel. For even shorter lengths, Van Loenhout explains that trends are leaning into the lived-in pixie cut with even more natural texture and movement for an editorial-inspired wash-and-wear look. “By watching the movements and acknowledging the needs of the individual, we can create a style that reflects their personality and lifestyle.” Says Van Loenhout. "From here, how we successfully introduce a new wave of bobs or pixies depends on the length and the precision in technique, combined with a visual harmony of imperfection,” he adds. And when it comes to needs, most clients today are looking for quick and easy styling options. Which is why Van Loenhout suggests adding NIGHT.SHIFT as part of any routine, especially with shorter lengths. With the power to work overnight and add 12 hours of hydration that works overtime*, this leave-in serum gives your hair the hydration and strength it needs to start the day with effortless shine. Overall, movements seen today are shaped by both the stylist and what t</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
