Jennifer Aniston's new TV show is the place to go for your new season hairstyle

There is something about this time of year that calls for a renewal of some kind. Perhaps it's the turn of the season or that back-to-school feeling that prevails no matter your age, but of all the reasons out there, we're putting our money on the fact that many of us are finally returning to the office in our droves.

And it seems we're not the only ones feeling an urge for change. As Apple TV's acclaimed series The Morning Show returns for season two tomorrow, it appears bold, new style updates are part of the return-to-work brief, most notably in the hair department.

Alex Levy's (played by Jennifer Aniston) signature highlights appear lighter and brighter, while Bradley Jackson (played by Reese Witherspoon) has gone from shoulder-scraping ruddy brunette to long, blonde locks.

While Jenn A's new look is ever so slightly more platinum than her regular honey blonde, it's the cut that is most telling of current trends. Choppy and shaggy in places, her full-looking locks feature layers, subtly tapered ends and purposely disconnected hair pieces to frame the face. It's undeniably a nod to the comeback of layers. "For a while layers disappeared and were almost considered out of touch or no longer in fashion," says Ricky Walters, owner and creative director of Soho’s Salon64.

"But we are now seeing a layering revolution. A sharp, heavily layered shag haircut with max attitude is a statement that oozes detail. With shorter pieces often sliced in through the hair at the end for a sexy flair, it's choppy, punchy style is here to stay."

And the hair cues don't stop there. Stella Bak (played by Greta Lee), the show's newest asset who is also the youngest and only female President of News in UBA history, has entered the scene with a short, sharp black bob, which experts are calling one of the most highly requested 'power cuts' of the moment.

"We are seeing a trend for clients cutting off their longer locks and going for bobs, medium bobs with texture or shorter blunt bobs," says Skye Edwards, artistic director for Gielly Green. "They are so versatile and can be styled slightly differently to create a range of looks, and these styles work well for women over 50 as well as younger women."

The style certainly calls for a fresh, bold return to the office. Stella Bak's signature look means business and speaks volumes for her role as an ambitious leader of an online media company way before she's even had the chance to say anything herself.

But beauty lies in its versatility. "The chunky, just below the jaw line, one-length bob is the look for now that can be styled sleek for the office and then with more life at the weekend," says Ava Holland, artistic director for Gielly Green.

Off screen, A-listers are following suit, too. Kourtney Kardashian recently ditched her long strands for a jaw-skimming bob courtesy of celebrity hairstylist Peter Savic, and often plays with its versatility by wearing it sleek or wavy and textured. Tracee Ellis Ross's blunt, yet voluminous A-line bob at the Met Gala this week was a thing of magic, while singer Billie Eilish's new blonde, cropped shag proves the bob's never-ending faces.

But before you get hung up on one particular style, Edwards warns that finding the right cut for you takes some consideration, particularly of your face shape. "Oval faces are the most universal. You can try all lengths, fringes, layers, curls you name it."

As a general rule of thumb she notes, for square faces opt for a softer, more textured bob that falls around the chin, either a bit below or a bit above. Heart shaped faces will favour a longer look, a couple of inches below the chin or a little longer. If you have a long face, a shorter bob will work well, but if your prefer the longer look keep some length to the hair and style in some waves to add weight at the sides, or add a fringe to shorten the face to keep the illusion of a bob.

While we would love to say that the drama surrounding the The Morning Show's fictionalised UBA network is what we're most exited to watch unfold tomorrow, we'd be lying. For us, its all about how the series will capture 'power do's'.

"The Morning Show returning to our screens has sparked a hair revolution of Power Do's," says Ricky Walters, owner and creative director of Soho’s Salon64. "These are all great examples of bold 'power cuts' and strong style selections showing you can be both corporate and cool. These looks are no longer 'pretty' but instead full of attitude and charisma."

"As we all return to our offices we want statement hair to fill us with a new-found confidence and to compensate the daunting task of returning to work full-time. From being locked up for so long, we have found a trend that reflects our current mood, and power cuts and colours are here to stay in my opinion."
