With Christmas just around the corner many
women will already have their appointments booked at the hair salon to make
sure they look their best over the festive season. Between now and then however many will be
torn with sticking to their old faithful hairstyle or going for a dramatic new
look to go with that amazing dress hanging in the wardrobe waiting for the
parties. If you are in this dilemma here is a bit of help as we have done the
donkey work for you and found out which are the top 5 on trend hairstyles for
this Christmas.
The Textured Bob
We all know the classic bob hairstyle but
this offers a big twist on the
original. The parting is further over to
one side that you would normally have and the hair is high and swept over, very
Marilyn Monroe. The hair on the other
side is swept back to create an illusion that you have a much longer hairstyle
than a bob. With lift and volume created by styling products and flicking
sexily over the corner of eye this is glamorous, alluring and one of the top
hair styles for this Christmas.
Up Do's
The messed up, romantic up do's from the summer
have now been replaced by an altogether sleeker and more sophisticated
look. The hair is dried to give it lift
and volume, a must in any hairstyle for this season, and given a mussed up
middle parting. The hair is then all pulled back and secured into a bun or
ponytail which is then secured in a modern French pleat. Soft tendrils of hair
at front fall from each side of the middle parting to frame the face. These
should curve outwards with the end flicked in towards the jaw line and
shouldn't be curly; no curls allowed in this great style.
The Pixie Cut
Much loved by celebrities, the pixie cut is very short, very
textured and very flattering. Which pixie cut you have very much depends on
your hair type and its thickness, so have a chat with your hairdresser as to
which one will best suit your hair. The back is cut very short and the emphasis
is on the length and volume on the top. A short, side parting near the back of
the head has one side feather cut around the ear and on the other side the
longer, textured hair falling forward. The full on pixie look has one eye
obscured by the hair while other have shorter strands acting as a fringe. One
of the top hairstyles of the year shows no sign of abating, and is one of the
most requested in the run up to Christmas.
Plum Crop
According to the experts at Salon Lines this is a good one for anyone who doesn't wants a
new look for Christmas without a drastic haircut. This is basically any kind of
cropped hair cut but coloured a deep, warm plum colour. There is nothing like a
change of colour for completely changing a look without getting up close and
personal with scissors.
Dip Dyed Fringed Bob
A longer bob with a full fringe is one of
the most bang on trend hairstyles of the
moment, and having the ends dip dyed a lighter colour is a wonderful look for
this Christmas season. This is a lot
more subtle and flattering look than the block black and blond and red and
black trends which have come and gone in recent times. A soft brown with
lighter, sand coloured ends is a particular favourite but you can adapt it to
suit whichever main colour your hair is.
