Spring Hair Trends

By Lauren Caggiano

Spring is a time of renewal and that includes our hair. Say goodbye to the winter blahs and welcome the new season with a fresh look, with a cut, color (or both)!

To get the look of frizz-free locks, you’ll need to invest in products like argan oil and serums. They can provide that finishing touch in a matter of seconds.

The same goes for deep waves, smooth curls and a shiny finish. Not a fan of a high-maintenance look? No problem! Williams suggested “perfectly messy buns tied into a pony with ends frayed out.”

Think going from the gym to the bar with little primping. Smooth low ponytails or braids are also trending, whereas high ponies are passé. Last, as far as style goes, don’t be afraid to add a little extra oomph. “Accessorize, accessorize!,” said Williams. Reach for pins, head bands, flowers and even scarves on short, medium or long hair for some personality.

Michelle Childs-Fernandez with The Hair Department has words of advice: “Skip the pony; grab the pins!”

Color, like a cut, can take you from drab to fab in little time. Williams recommended balayage techniques, which pair well with smooth, sleek waves and loose curls for long hair. Other trending colors conjure up images of sweet treats. For example, shades of burgundy, strawberry reds, caramel toffee and chocolate brown are hot. Want something a little edgier? Honey blondes, sleek silver ash, golden ice, metallic opalescence and iridescent shades are in vogue. As far as novelty colors, pastels and lilac colors reign.

Of course, you can’t go wrong with any style or color that makes you feel vibrantly you and comfortable in your own skin. When in doubt, Williams said to turn to a stylist’s expertise for direction.

“(He or she) will work with your face shape, time involved with style and upkeep on hair color,” she said. a
