As we enter winter, protective styles like shoulder-skimming bobs or short passion twists will give your locks fuller volume while making them easier to manage. According to Maxine Salon stylist Raven Hurtado, this trend will remain on trend.
This season’s hair color trends
These trends are perfect for adding dimension and brilliance to your hair.
Long Bob with Choppy Ends
Choppy layers have quickly become one of the hottest bob trends this year. This style adds volume to pin-straight strands while working for most face shapes. Choppy layers also look super adorable with bangs – Emma Hill and Cara Delevingne both rock chin-grazing blunt bobs with sweet curtain bangs to one side for this look that works well with high-necked dresses.
If you need more time to be ready to commit to a blunt bob, ask your stylist for long, choppy layers with slight inversion. This asymmetrical cut adds chic edges to thin strands, while its blend of warm and cool blonde shades makes for an easy transition from summer to winter.
If you love gray hair trends, try switching up your choppy bob with a pastel hue for something unique and modern. An ashy blonde shade on the bottom pairs beautifully with light platinum highlights up top to create an eye-catching contrast between hot and cold blonde tones – and gives this cut an ombre effect for an urban and trendy feel.
Face-Framing Bangs and Layers
Face framing layers are an effective way to add volume and dimension to any style, whether straight or curly hair is present. Not only are they highly flattering, they’re suitable for women of any age. Plus, they help narrow a wide face shape, making eyes appear larger!
Here, a chic chestnut brown bob with long curtain bangs looks chic. Its vibrant hue adds depth and dimension, while its face-framing strands frame her face perfectly, adding shape and size. Finally, blonde highlights add another element that complements this ensemble perfectly.
This year, long layered hair with face-framing bangs from the 1990s is making a comeback. This timeless look pairs well with ponytails or updos and can be styled slick and sleek for maximum impact. If opting for this style, use Shea Moisture Papaya
