2012 saw plenty of women’s hairstyles on display and whether you opted for a short pixie cut or decided to use hair extensions for long layers there were no shortage of hair trends to try. Elle magazine voted the pixie as the most requested hairstyle of 2012 with long layers and the bob cut coming in a close second and third. Bangs made a bit of a comeback during the year with Zooey Deschanel and Demi Lovato sporting fresh bangs and color was again a big trend as many women tried to achieve the golden-blonde hue Jennifer Aniston is famous for. Now that 2013 has begun the watch is on the see what styles break out of the gate and set the trend.
Many hairstylists are predicting 2013 will be the year of wearable looks that don’t require a team of stylists following you to keep your hair in place. Twists and knots may be very popular this year due to its simplicity and easy maintenance. By blow drying your hair straight and creating a clean center part you can then secure your hair in a firm ponytail and wrap the tail into any number of knotted looks that are chic and smart.
Last spring the ‘wet hair’ style achieved sudden popularity and the slick look is coming back. Unlike the drenched looks of 2012, the 2013 versions of wet hair are less sleek and feature dry parts that create graphic center and side parts. Waves and twists are great options for styling wet hair and expect to see a number of takes on this recurring trend.
Another trend you can spot early on this year is a natural look that features tousled hair left loose and flowing. Some women will spend a small fortune for a style that doesn’t really look like a style at all. However, the casual look actually does require professional styling that includes volumizing foam and aerosol hair powder.
