Hair
Trend number 1
EMBELLISHED PARTS: From the gold leaf hair trend to the
perfect braided center part, the great divide is finally
getting some love. Expect to see a flurry of new ways to
embellish both our side and center parts making them the
pièce de résistance of our hairstyles.

Trend number 2
THE EVERLASTING LOB: Its
universally-flattering, low-maintenance appeal is just
too good to pass up. Give it an of-the-moment remix with
choppy texture.

Trend number 3
BOYISH BROW SPROUTS: Due in no small
part to the release of Glossier's genius Boy Brow
pomade, sprouts (the hairs that stick up and out at the
beginning of the brow) will be brushed up in 2016. Yet
another secret to the sneaky no-makeup makeup look, the
flyaway hairs are inherently youthful to boot. |

Trend number 4
THE TWIST: The twist, like this one from
Public School Spring 2016 = the new braid. And for those
who are, ahem, braid-challenged, rest assured that it's
much easier to achieve, as you merely have to divide a
ponytail in half and twist the sections around each
other.

Trend number 5
The Bob: Wendi & Kim, founders of curly brand Mixed
Chicks hair products, nodded to this classic shape that
endures peaks and valleys when it comes to popularity.
"The bob will be the biggest trend," they tell me,
pointing out that the cut's malleability is the reason
it never really goes out of style. "With this classic
cut, you can enjoy the versatility of your texture by
wearing it tightly coiled, wavy, or bone straight." |
Hair
Trend number 6
Natural Hair Hues: Say goodbye to colors like hot pink and
green for 2016," she says. "Bright or artificial-looking
hair colors will be a blast from the past next year.
Natural-looking hair color will be the new, big thing
instead, as trends will be all about natural and
healthy-looking hair." |
Hair
Trend number 7
"Braid Made" Waves: I always fake waves by washing my
hair, braiding it while wet, sleeping in it, and shaking
it out in the morning. That type of texture is going to
be big in 2016. "Who isn't in love with the
beautiful textures that we get when we've slept in our
braids, then unravel them in the morning, especially
those with finer hair? Of course, if you don't have the
patience to wait until morning, you can always set the
braid texture in faster with a light sprits of hair
spray and a quick once over with the T3 SinglePass 2
Styling Iron." |

Trend number 9
Curls: expert stylist and owner of As You Wish
Studio Salon, predicts a 2016 with loads of curls.
"Enhancing and embracing natural hair texture with curls
and waves," Solano predicts. "This might mean using
different products, such as learning to use diffusers or
using different sets to air dry. This also includes
using different size rods and learning new ways to curl
the hair so it looks effortless." |
Hair
Trend number 10
Bang: new season hairstyles are all about modern and futuristic
styles with sharp and geometric edges so if you are not
afraid of experimenting with your image, you should
definitely opt for blunt bang hairstyle. Furthermore,
blunt bang will be a gorgeous complement to both short and
super long hairstyle. |
Hair
Accessories
Hair accessories, like sprinkles of
ironed-in gold stars, were big during 2015 prom season
and beyond. Thanks to products like Charmsies, hair
jewelry will continue to dominate. Solano says, "Hair
accessories are big. Colorful, gold even bold ones... in
different unexpected areas." Part Art lets you dress up
your part with bling. There are also hair tattoos, like
the one Kylie Jenner tried earlier this fall. |
2016
is the year of long hair
The "Wob": "Although 2016 will be
all about individuality when it comes to hair, the
dominant hair trend you will see in 2016 is the 'wob' or
wavy bob." Lots of length. He continues, "2015
was the year of short hair. Now, women will let their
hair grow out to graze their shoulders and collar bones
for a longer and sophisticated style. They will tend to
gravitate towards a textured, lived-in look because it
is easily achieved and is a great look for day and
night." |
