One way to stay fresh and fashionable is to update your hairstyle. We all know people who are stuck in whatever was in style when they were 14 years old, and the older they get, the more out-of-date they seem. Here are some of the ways Sacramento Hair Stylists are updating their clients in 2019.
Blunt Bobs
Inspired by the '70s revival and popular celebrities like Kendall Jenner and Karlie Kloss, a new shorter length is set to be the standout hairstyle for 2019.
“I think we will see a move away from shattered and layered hair towards a blunter, sharper finish", says influential stylist and Ghd ambassador Zoe Irwin. "I envisage it being a shift away from the mid-length boyfriend bob, which was so popular last season, to something more precise and above the shoulder, roughly halfway between your ears and the nape of the neck."
She says this blunt cut suits all face shapes, "because the length can be adjusted to flatter the face, while the bluntness can help thicken up thin hair and soften thick hair depending upon the way it’s styled". In fact, done correctly, "it will do wonders for your bone structure and is often the gateway to an even shorter 'do." But, if you’re going for a drastic cut from long to short, ask your hairdresser to show you the different ways of styling your new hair, she advises.
Silver Grey Hair
Young and old have finally connected in the beauty industry, which means individuals are not only dying their hair a fashion-forward silver but are embracing their natural grey hairs too. As Pinterest searches for 'going gray' increased by 879 per cent this year, Redken's global creative colour director Josh Wood explains how to manage the transition in 2019.
"Work with a colourist to try to get the hairline as light as your natural grey. If the eye sees the lightest colour against the face it will give the appearance of being totally grey." Then, use a glossing service like the DIA Richesse service at L’Oréal Professionnel salons nationwide, to subtle decrease any patchiness.
You might also want to consider cutting your hair, as "the shorter you go the more any existing colour you are using will be cut out, thus exposing more of the natural colour and grey", says Wood.
Modern Top-knots and Up-dos
Top-knots used to be the hairstyle of choice only if you had three-day old hair or weren't leaving the house, but then Chanel's Fall 2018 ready-to-wear show happened. The models appeared on the runway as if they had literally just thrown their hair up into the up-do and suddenly 'undone' hair was cool again.
The trick to the perfect 'imperfectly perfect' bun, is to tie your hair into a ponytail before twisting it into a bun, so that the ends remain loose and messy. Then, for added texture use Hair by McKnight's Easy UpDo and Modern Hairspray - just as was used backstage at the show by celebrity hairstylist Sam McKnight.
Shiny, Glossy Hair
The impossibly smooth and super shiny 'glass hair' finish trended on Instagram towards the latter end of this year, and in 2019 it's set to make it mainstream.
Blow dry your hair with a coating spray to lock out frizz, before rubbing in a few drops of shine serum - like Kérastase's Elixir Ultime Oil Serum. A round brush will also help smooth out your tresses, although the blunt bob, as detailed above, is probably the easiest way to achieve that all important clean finish.
BIG Hair - Big Impact
A lack of volume is one of the most common hair concerns for woman and the reason why there are so many volumising shampoo formulas on the market. It's no wonder then that our personal fascination with adding body to our tresses has triggered a trend for extreme volume come next season.
Your greatest inspiration comes from the Versace pre-fall 2019 runway where Guido Palau used super-long extensions to add gravity-defining height at the roots. "The big hair was inspired by Pierpaolo Piccioli, he wanted to have some extravagance in the hair and we were looking at old '60s Diana Vreeland Harper's Bazaar and Avedon shoots," said Palau. For a more practical nod to the trend, add volume by prepping your hair with Redken's Guts, before liberally applying lots of Bumble & bumble's Strong Finish Hairspray.
Lilac, Lavender and Purple Makeovers
Bid adieu to millennial pink as a new pastel hair trend has emerged, with searches for lilac tresses increasing by a staggering 1077 per cent in 2018. If you want to start experimenting but still look like a grown-up, follow our temporary hair colour guide and use L'Oreal Paris' Colorista Hair Makeup in Purple sparingly through your roots.
