1. HAIRCUTS


Layered cutting

This style is suitable if you would like to update your haircut, without reducing its length too much. It adds more volume by giving movement to your strands. Bangs (straight or side-swept) also look pretty cool with this style. Layers in curly hair help contain the locks without losing its volume. Also, short cuts can be reinvented by creating layers.



Cut Blunt Cut

Straight cuts have been out of style for some time now. However there might be a huge comeback in 2018, since smooth strands will also become more popular the next year. The use of a side tufted hairstyle – which traces all the way back to the 90’s - will also be in store next year. Its minimalist vibe adds plentiful elegance to any look. Along with some extra texture with tresses, or even a proper marine water finishing, will yield a great, hot effect. In case your have curly hair strands, you can still opt for a blunt cut, however be prepared to have a lot of volume going on at your hair ends.



Short Bob Cut

Whenever the name of a cut is followed by the word 'bob' it refers to a short hair cut above the shoulders. Short bobs will guarantee a fresh and modern look. It represents an unbeatable and fierce combination as it adds a lateral, elongated fringe. This style looks interesting for both plain hair and curly strands. It also works well with or without volume.

 

 

Long Asymmetrical Bob Cut

The long bob has been one of the most popular cuts in salons worldwide, and it can be applied both to straight and smooth hair. It will obtain an updated look in 2018 – and rely on asymmetry! Feel free to combine it with textures and layers. Cuts with longer ends at the front that have peaked layers will also be in fashion. Besides, if you have smooth tresses a good finisher will do the trick. This doesn’t mean that flat bob cuts have completely lost their popularity, but prominent asymmetry will make you crave for this look, especially the Chanel inspired versions that have a long bang only on one side.

From wicks to very bright highlights, 2018 will bring a mixture of the color spectrum to enlighten your looks. It could be very subtle or it could be also used only at the end of your hair locks. The following two tones of brown have different functions that you should be aware of:

Brown Sepia - A color that reminds us of chocolate, but a little more discreet. Sepia adds elegance to any look.

Chocolate Brown – a full chocolate brown dyed hair will also be in high esteem. The more natural it looks, the more radiant your look will be.




Blonde hair

Blonde hair is always popular, but different hair tones in this palette make them look different every new season.

Gray Blonde Hair is gaining strength and credibility to be a top look in 2018. It originates from 2017’s platinum hair shifts to a very stunning grey color; you’ll be surprised on how it will make your hair look edgy and modern.

Blonde hair with dark backgrounds will also be in store in 2018. It embraces the tendency of using two distinct tonalities with its strands having roots with darker shades, thus transforming it into a lighter grey color.

Blonde almost brown hair will be out there for those who like a blonde vibe, but do not want to weaken their natural color. A tip is to bet on a lighter blonde shade and apply it to a solid brown background.

Tinted blonde usually works for women who already have blonde hair and know that when it comes to changing its tonality, something could go wrong. To neutralize this effect, it is recommended to add some clarity or to intensify the tones of blonde. The best idea to make it look properly is to attend a beauty salon, or use a wig that suits your blonde imagery.


Red hair

Rose red should be making an appearance in 2018. Instead of the typical redhead style that suited natural shades and were a success in 2017, hot, bright reds will come into stage pretty soon.

Red-haired style - for darker-skinned women it is recommended to opt for a beaming red with some lighter strands to lighten up the face.

 

 

Fantasy Colors

One of the funniest and jovial trends for 2018 hairstyles is the use of eccentric and unnatural colors, like green, pink, purple, or blue – amongst others. Let your imagination speak louder when it comes to choosing the color of your hair! Embrace the color that best suits your personality. However, keep note that dyed hair needs more care than any other, including weekly moisturizing and special shampooing that does not remove pigmentation.
