New Style Hair Cuts
From LoveToKnow Hair
Keeping an eye on what's hot and what's not means knowing all about the new style hair cuts that are currently taking the world by storm. Whether it's a Hollywood phenomenon or an unusual trend that's surprisingly caught on, there's always a buzzed-about hairstyle to capture your attention.
The Appeal of New Hair Styles
Anyone who's seen a magazine cover during the past ten years knows all about "the Rachel," the haircut made famous by actress Jennifer Aniston. Recent years have seen hair extensions grow in popularity, and extremely short styles are suddenly more funky and fun than ever before. Past decades have also had their own respective trends; from the famous feather cut of the '70s to the big hair of the '80s, it seems that no era has passed without a significant hair style attached to it.
Clearly, hair styles have a great impact on popular culture. Usually this is by extension of their popularity within the Hollywood ranks. The current intense focus on fashion and beauty within the entertainment industry gives even greater credence to hot new hair styles. Once a particular style is seen on the red carpet, at a movie premiere or during an awards show, it's all but guaranteed to be covered ad nauseum by magazines and entertainment news programs. Then the style makes its way out into the real world, where women of all ages adopt the style as their own.
What's currently ruling the ever-changing world of hairstyles? Let's take a look!
New Style Hair Cut Trends
These days, self-expression is the focus of just about every decision when it comes to fashion, beauty, and accessories. Of course, the same holds true for hair styles. The newest, hottest styles run the gamut from playful and unusual to smart and professional, and essentially offer something for everyone of every age group. This year's most popular styles were less about following specific trends and more about remaining true to oneself and perhaps even pushing the envelope a bit.
Short and Sassy
We all remember Demi Moore's shorn head in G.I. Jane, and no one can deny just how stylish Sinead O'Connor's bald head has always made her look. Some women simply seem destined to enjoy this look more than others, but this year's closely cropped haircuts gave everyone the opportunity to experiment with it.
The style Ellen DeGeneres sports is an ideal example of how this casual, smart cut can look. It's short, but not exaggeratedly so, and those who are used to shoulder-length (or longer) styles may be less afraid to opt for this look. It's an outstanding professional cut, and provides simple and quick styling options when time is short. At the same time, it's versatile enough to be sexed up with a little gel or hair spray. Shape it, mold it, or part it anyway you wish. That's the beauty of this easy style.
A great focus has also been placed on updated takes of classic looks from decades past. Pixie, shag and pageboy cuts all have their place on the trend map this year.
Long and Luxurious
Long hair will never go out of style, but this year's intense focus on sexy waves gave a whole new meaning to the look. Imagine the sensual, natural waves that your hair adopts after you've taken a dip in the ocean; that salt water works absolute wonders, and this year the same look was brought to life in hair salons all across the nation!
A salt water product, such as Sedu's Beach Beauty Sea Salt Spray, is ideal for achieving this look in the comfort of your own home. Perfect for recreating that beachy look (even if you're nowhere near the water), this spray lightly conditions the hair while creating texture and volume. It's best used on wet hair; simply twist the hair into rope-like strands and allow it to dry naturally. Run your fingers through it to gently tousle the waves. The result is a laid-back look that's easy to maintain and appropriate for everything from the office to the big date.
Bangs, Bangs and More Bangs
Bangs are always popular. This year, it's remained a big favorite. Whether you opt for dramatic, brow-skimming bangs, or wispy, layered bangs that easily push to the side, you can guarantee that they'll add personality to any of today's new style hair cuts.
Big, Bold Volume
Never underestimate the power of the runway when it comes to inspiring street style. Those out-of-control hairdos that seem to dominate the stage suddenly seem right at home amongst the general population. Don't be afraid to take your cue from these looks; try a wacky, messy updo that doubles as a stylish, unkempt bun, or give short hair plenty of volume by teasing it generously.
New style hair cuts can be fun to experiment with as more innovative and unique styles keep appearing. Whatever new look you choose, remain true to your personality and your style preferences and you can’t go wrong!
