This Years Hottest Hair Trends*

So, 2017 is well under way, and most of us have been working hard to keep on top of our new year’s resolutions. If you have been working hard to get fitter and look better this year, then you may have reached a pretty significant milestone already. Now is the time to get on top of your look and a great place to start is your hair.

Every year there are some amazing new hairstyles and this year looks set to see celebrities rocking a few trends, so let’s get familiar with the styles you will be seeing on all the red carpets over the coming seasons.

Boyish hair is coming at us hard this year, the softer your face, the stronger and more angular cut you can pull off. If you have high cheekbones and a sharp jawline, then you need to work with a softer pixie look. If you have long hair, you may think about pulling off a jaw line or graduated bob before going the whole hog, giving you more chance to get used to the style.

2017 will be a year of contradictions when it comes to hair; firstly it is the year of the curl. Using tong’s to create a full head of beautiful waves, then teasing them out and hoping for the best. Don’t be shy with product, the more you use, the longer your style will last, and two-day-old curls have a gorgeous beach look about them. Of course, the opposite of this is the super straight style which has hit the catwalks already this year. The best way to achieve this look is to keep well-trimmed ends, use a tangle teaser to comb out perfectly conditioned hair. Try not to use straighteners unless you have to, instead talk your time with a blow dry, working from root to tip with a good brush. Use shine spray before finishing with an ultra fresh blast.

The ponytail is a style that we will see a lot this year. Whether it is a loose, straight pony or a fishtail plait, you need to get your fingers around this one! There are some great ideas on theperfecthairstyle website. The ponytail never actually went out of fashion, and you might think that you already know how to stick your hair up. However, it is a far more complicated process than you imagine, so get to know how to create this look!

Finally, not really a style but the biggest hair trend for 2017 is the detox.  Hair exfoliation is a thing now! It involves a sugar scalp scrub with water soluble crystals which melt into the hair. The result is perfectly clean, healthy looking hair with incredible bounce. Think Princess Kate of Cambridge and you will understand what this style is all about.

Get with the trend this year and make your hair the best it has ever been, maybe it’s time you took the leap and did something bold and dramatic?
