2013 Hair Trends to Look For

Braids with a Twist

We predict an increased demand for beautiful braids- whether it’s simple or intricate, for a wedding or a walk in the park, braids will continue to be a well sought after hairstyle in 2013. Don’t think that every braid has to be perfect; in fact, we think that the idea of the ‘messy braid’ is here to stay!



Pastel Colors

Be on the lookout for an increased demand in fashion hair colors! This 2013 hair trend is what we would call, “unnatural,” hair colors. We are not just talking a few pieces of bright hair on the ends or face (that’s cool, too!), but look for clients asking for all over fashion colors, especially pastels! The Fashion hair color we predict to be the hottest in 2013 is PURPLE!

Red Hair Color

This is a style we see continuing into 2013, as being a redhead certainly does turn heads! Look for all types of red hair color demands, as we see many individuals asking for fashion reds, copper reds, fiery reds, and maybe a mixture of all three! Overall, we are seeing a return to vintage style and trends of the 1930s, 60s, and more as we further observe 2013 hair trends, colors, and styles.

Vintage Curls and Waves

We said previously a return to vintage hairstyles is on the way, and we meant it! This look is elegant, classic, and is making a strong trend upward. What’s even better? This look can be glammed up for a beautiful wedding hair do or made casual with a headband or scarf! And personally, we’ve been waiting for pin curls to make their comeback!

Bangin' Bangs!

Maybe you're a bit more on the conservative side, and are not quite ready to be completely bold in 2013 – and that’s okay, we can still try a new hair trend, like bangs! The demand for bangs, both soft and edgy, will continue to be on the rise. Allow us to help you choose the right bangs by having us take a look at your facial features – helping to decide which of your features you want to enhance, and what you wish to hide!

Short Edgy Cuts

While there will still be plenty of ladies growing out their locks to rock those highly soft after beach waves, but we predict a sharp increase in the amount of short hairstyles present in 2013. Whether it’s a hard rocker look like, Miley Cyrus, or a softer Michelle Williams/Ann Hathaway-type look, be prepared to whip out those thinning shears! P.S. Those quiffs aren’t going anywhere!

Sleek, Smooth, Long Hair with Deep Side or Middle Parts

While voluptuous curls will no doubt still hold interest, we see another flashback to the late 60s, early 70s upon us! Headbands already made their comeback, of course this long hair trend look was to follow. Think long, sleek, sexy hair paired with a deep side part, middle part, or bangs!

Sandy, Smoky, Mink-like Hair Shades

Ok, doll. We said it before, but we’ll say it again – Vintage hairstyles are in! This isn’t just limited to a haircut, but those soft sandy hair colors are going to be requested in your salon countless times in 2013. Get ready to break out those ashes, and gray and silver concentrate, this is a new hair trend that’ll have your clients looking like natural beauties!

Obviously Ombré

Alright, most of us by now know of the popular hair color trend, Ombré. No matter how overdone you feel this look is, we predict it is here to stay in 2013. With so many various options out there for Ombré, this hair trend can still be fun and different!

Pompadours and Quiffs

This unisex hairstyle will continue to be all the rage in 2013 – men and women alike will be demanding this in your salon’s chair as this is another hairstyle that will be making its comeback. Look for different hair style modifications
