1. Bombshell bangs
One of this season’s most popular and versatile trends is bangs, whether they be blunt or feathered, retro and sleek or shaggy and asymmetrical, they are absolutely gorgeous no matter what. In fact, a number of designers have recently taken to this fresh new style that just made its well-deserved comeback. Bangs are the perfect frame to your face that flatters you in the most elegant of ways.
2. Short pixie
Fun, flirtatious, yet fiercely stylish, the short pixie haircut is making its way on to red carpets everywhere. A-list celebrities such as Emma Watson are taking beautifully to this frankly adorable cut, sacrificing their tired and lanky hair for something stunning and dramatic. Yet another plus: its extremely manageable and ready to dazzle from right out of the shower!
3. Bodacious braids
You all remember wearing braids as a kid. They were always described as something along the lines of “cute”. These braids are nothing like that; these braids are the sexy yet practical twist on innocent childhood favorites that play up your medium to long length locks to their full and fabulous potential. In an array of simple to do styles, you too can look like one of the many catwalk models sporting this bold style this season. You can also get creative with them – try pigtail braids for that classically lovable look, or if you want to go for something edgier, do a messy and modern side braid.
4. Glamorous bobs
Since the beginning of Hollywood, starlets have been donning the timelessly classy bob. Granted, through time changes have been made which sometimes involved chopping it up to make it more adventurous, but that has not stopped this classic from being fashion forward and completely stunning. In fact, this season all forms of the bob are in, however, the retro and slanted bob still reign supreme. It is just something about its breathtaking eloquence that makes us love it so much.
5. Luxury tresses
Last, but most certainly not least, is the ever astonishing silken, thick, rich locks which flow incredibly gracefully, maintaining full voluptuous body. For those of you who think there is no style to tastefully tame your long, wild tresses, think again. Look to the sleek and radiant locks of Kim Kardashian, fashion icon, who curled her hair into a voluminous mane of rich elegance. If you are looking for something that will forever stay gorgeous, something that will really turn heads, this is absolute gold.

One of the most alluring shades of the season is a sultry yet strong chocolate brown that has been described as a perfect shade. In addition to emphasizing your naturally beautiful features with its richness, it will never go out of style; this means no frequent and costly updates that may damage your invaluable mane! Another natural option is a basic shade with very subtle and fine highlights at the tips, making for a perfectly lovely au-natural look. However, if you tend to be more on the wild side, like vivacious and zesty colors that really pop and make you stand out from the crowd, good news – vibrant “punk” colors are in! Whether it be a bubble gum pink like the fashionista singer Katy Perry wears, a charming royal blue, pretty purple, acid green, or the vivid fire red locks of Gerard Way, revolutionary singer of My Chemical Romance, it is now into be brilliant!
