Refresh and Update Your Look With the Latest Hair Trends

A beautifully crafted hair style is a powerful thing, with the ability to change the way a person looks and feels about themselves. From traditional styles to those that are more contemporary, the possibilities are endless when a trained stylist is doing the work. They can bring any vision to life with the right cut and color, and can even introduce you to the latest hair trends that will help you stand out. If you're ready to update your hair, then consider the following trends:

1. Loose and Wavy

Loose waves is a style that has always been popular, but it's especially trendy today. It's been an active look all over the runways, and is incredibly easy to re-create on your own. Combine this with a healthy cut and color so the waves truly shine.

2. Twist Bun

If you have long hair, then a twist bun that sits high on your head is one of the best hair trends to try out this year. It's simple, but it can be dressed up or down depending on the clothing you wear.

Tip: Braid the hair before putting it into a bun for an even more unique and contemporary look.

3. Sleek Pulled Back Pony

Extensions and beautiful highlights will really stand out with an understated pony tail. Rather than putting this high on the head, tie it at the bottom so it's resting on the bottom of the neck. Make sure the hair in front is combed back and sleek, then tie tight to keep secure.

Tip: To make this look as sleek as possible, have stick-straight hair (which can be achieved with a straightening treatment).

4. Bold Colors

Bold colors, like purple, pink and green, are now seen in hair more often than ever before. From ombre styles to hair that's rainbow, now is the best time to try the color trend. You can even have slight touches of color done for the "peek-a-boo" effect, rather than something that changes your entire hair color.

5. Long Braids

Beautiful long braids are wonderful ways to pull your hair back while still showing your individual style. French braids in particular have been featured on many runways, and they can be easy to re-create on your own.

6. Side Sweep

Side swept hair is beautiful, easy to accomplish and on trend this year. To re-create it, simply part your hair closer to your hair and use styling sprays to help it stay put.

Tip: Hair should be as straight as possible for this style.

7. Short and Wavy

Hair that is cut above the shoulders and wavy is one of the latest hair trends that women are loving. It's perfect for beating the summer heat, but will keep you looking stylish during the winter months as well.
