Curls, short cuts, braids, bangs, natural or extreme color: here's a roundup of the cuts, styles, and colors that have defined hair trends, from cold season to warm.
Curls, Volume, and Style
Hair gets textured and dressed up with beautiful waves — tight, even, and well-defined. Don't hesitate to play with volume by opting for a layered cut where pretty curls add more dimension to the face. Let it fall freely over the shoulders for a very natural, just-got-out-of-bed effect — the perfect finishing touch: a curly mini-fringe, worn just above the eyebrows.
Slicked-Back Hair
For those who prefer to keep the face clear rather than play up curls, slicking the hair back remains a sleek, elegant option.
Short Cuts, All Year Round
The pixie cut suits every hair type, in every season. You can go for an angled cut, a bowl cut, or, for a fully bared nape and forehead, a very short crop.
Bangs, Year-Round
Bangs work on straight or wavy hair, in every shape and style — very short, thick, or wispy.
The Unbeatable Bob
The bob, in its many variations, remains the go-to cut, worn in every season. Blunt, wispy, angled, or asymmetric, it stays ideal thanks to its practicality: a safe bet, always.
Braids in All Their Forms
The simple braid is back in fashion, worn as a half-braid, wrapped on itself, or styled in a bohemian way. The fishtail braid and tightly plaited styles are giving way to a more relaxed braid, with a few loose strands left to escape for a romantic, tousled look.
Evening Hairstyles, 30s and 40s Style
For parties and New Year's Eve, avant-garde hairstyles with 1930s-inspired finger waves, or 1940s-style maximum volume, remain a safe bet.
Natural Highlights, Two Trends
Natural highlights and warm tones remain in the spotlight: easy to adopt and maintain, with two standout natural color gradients.
- Root shadow keeps a rooted effect while working natural tones through the lengths: perfect for lighter hair.
- Tiger eye is a subtle balayage for dark hair, adding depth through a play of colors blending chocolate, caramel, and honey.
Extreme Colors
Polar blonde remains at the cutting edge of fashion, and it isn't the only bold hair choice allowed: pink, green, navy, yellow, violet — the colorful trend is still going strong.
Red, the Color That Blazes
Red hair has everything going for it, but it requires suitable care and careful precautions to avoid damaging the hair. Blazing red, auburn tones, or Venetian blonde: every variation has its place.
Root shadow for light hair, tiger eye for dark hair: two natural coloring techniques, one shared goal of depth and shine.
