Braided, coloured, curled or styled, your hair will look and feel runway ready with these five seasonal trends for hip, hot locks
Looking for a new ‘do this winter? From braids to pastel colours and curls to volume, stylists say you can expect to see a fair bit of revival with modernist undertones in popular hairstyles this winter. Here are five of the latest hair trends to try this season.
Ever since Katniss donned her infamous side braid in The Hunger Games, braids have enjoyed a comeback.
Woven dos give a bohemian feel to even the most elegant look. Double fishtails, simple braids and braided buns are fun looks for a fresh change, while looser, messier braids are the new messy updo. The braided headband, also known as a waterfall headband, gives a nice option to finish off gorgeous waves.
From sweet lavenders to peachy keens, pastel hair colours are all the rage at the moment and stylists predict they will be a hot trend for another season or two. Start with a subtle splash of colour or go bold. The options with pastels are many: monochromatic, multi-colour, two tone, etc.
Want to stick with a classic colour? Go for a blonde or brown that will be classy, timeless and a great look for the winter season.
Winter usually calls for butterscotch blondes or deeper browns, and nothing looks better than healthy, well-cared for hair in these rich colours. Many blondes are going darker with deep beiges and golds, while and brunettes are going for cooler, richer sophisticated browns.
Ombrés – a mix of darker and lighter hair – are also big right now, and let you have both brown and blonde if you just can’t decide.
Amber George, owner and creative director of Verve Hair Lounge, forecasts a comeback for styled hair. She sees clients leaning toward an increase in texture and volume with curls, with many coming in for blowouts and styling for meetings, date nights and some extra glam.
