Much like fashion fads, hair crazes come and go. We’ve seen so many trends through the years, ranging from thick highlights to baby lights. For those who like to keep their approach to hair fresh and modern, here’s what’s popular right now:
LOW MAINTENANCE IS KEY
Balayage with some baby lights, all-over baby lights or an all-over highlight with a shadow root all give the client gorgeous hair without having to revisit the salon every six to eight weeks. These options offer a variety of outcomes involving color and, if done properly, will give the wearer a seamless grow-out.
THE CUT OF THE SEASON IS THE LOB — OR “LONG BOB”
It can be done shorter or longer, with layers or without, and have a dramatic or subtle angle. Top it off with some messy, undone waves, and you are ready for anything.
If you want to take it to the next level, hair accessories are making a comeback. Whether it be with a perfectly placed row of bobby pins or a ‘90s scrunchie pulling your hair halfway up, you’ll be giving your style the flare it deserves.
FUN, FASHION COLORS
Starting out as a workplace no-no, fashion colors for hair were limited in their use. But now, with views changing, the fun, fashion colors are here to stay.
Along with low-maintenance care and whimsical colors, the natural movement isn’t going anywhere. Women (and men) are beginning to really explore and master styling their natural hair and embracing their curls.
