We did our research to gather this trend report that will give you a head start on the trendiest hair colours and hairstyles for 2016. If you are one of those women who like to change up their hairstyle with the new year, make sure you read this before calling your hairstylist for an appointment.
Yes, you might say that the lob has been all the rage for the past year or two. But this one is a different take on the popular haircut. The sleek and polished version of one of the top hairstyles for 2016 is going to replace the ‘wob’ or so-called wavy bob. Getting the right length is crucial for this hairstyle – the hair should rest just right above the shoulders for a modern and cool look. High shine and control are also crucial factors for a polished lob. Always carry a shine mist or leave-on oil spray to achieve that polished effect.
If you’re not ready to go for a chop, one way to spice up your long and straight hair is to add textured layers. Focus the framing layers on the front section of the face. The layers create an illusion of movement for your hair, which is also a great trick for women with naturally thin hair. And the best part about adding textured layers? It is your ticket to achieving that perfect slept-in vibe to your hairstyle.
New hair growth? No problem! One trendy way to deal with this is also one of the top trending hairstyles for 2016 – shaggy bangs! Add long and piecey bangs to give your look an instant update. With the addition of the bangs, you don’t even have to do much updating on the rest of your hair.
If you’re tired of layers, opt for a contoured cut this 2016! It is an angled cut that falls right above the collar bone (ideally – but you can opt for a longer length). The stick-straight style does a good job of framing the face beautifully. You can also opt for a center or semi-center part.
Top Hair Colours for 2016
Ronze: Red hair is naturally a rarity. But for 2016, with ronze being one of the top trending hair colours, expect red hair to dominate the scene. Warm coppery reds, or in this case a mixture of red and bronze hues, is the go-to option for women. The best part about ronze is that this hair colour is suited for all skin complexions. If you are a natural brunette, ask for warm amber and copper tones to create a very flattering effect on your skin.
Bronde: With ombre fading out from the scene, bronde is taking center stage. The hair colour is ispired by naturally blonde women who wish to go dark. This is a great hair colour to transition to for blonde women who aren’t quite ready to give up being blonde yet.
Platinum Blonde: Even though platinum blonde has hit the scene for some time now, it never really dominated the beauty industry. 2016 will change all that. The elfin hair colour just got a major boost in popularity! The silvery shimmer of platinum blonde locks combined with the lustre and glamour of this colour can easily lift up your mood on a dreary day.
