Ringing in the New Year is always exciting, with fresh new ideas and goals just ready to be tackled. But when the clock strikes midnight, the pressure is on to beat the crowd to the new trends—especially hair trends.
As we take a look back on the first couple months of 2018 let’s see what hairstyles and trends made the final cut (wink wink). Will it be poppin’ updos or subtle layers? Perhaps this year has a whole new trend in focus.
Au Naturel 2018
The year 2018 has sparked an interest in going all natural. While edited selfies and looking your best are still in full swing this year, the makeup tutorials and faux contouring are so 2017. Instead, 2018 has us all chasing after our most natural self, and our hair is no exception.
If it’s natural you’re after, then overly done hairstyles are out of the question. This means saying your goodbyes to last year’s rainbow hair and glitter hair dye. The top trending hairstyles of 2018 are those that are essentially hassle free.
Top 3 Low Maintenance Hair Trends of 2018
Low maintenance hairstyles are the most popular this year, and it’s no wonder why. With a low maintenance hairstyle, women are embracing the wild side of hair and are loving not always needing their hair to be perfect for work or play.
1. Messy Hair Bob
Hair parts and short bobs are back, but with a twist! Instead of neatly curling your ends for twenty minutes with a blow dryer, messy bobs only require a get-up-and-go routine; making them the ultimate low maintenance hair trend of 2018. Natural waves and tousles complete this look, so make sure to braid your hair before bed so you can just wake up and go.
2. Wispy Bangs
Bangs, have they ever gone out of style? Bangs are always trending, but their style varies from year to year. 2018 has seen an explosion of bangs with a wispy texture. With this hair trend, the round brush and clean edges are a thing of the past. Wispy bangs are all about being perfectly imperfect, having a part in the middle (or not), and making sure the ends are enticingly uneven.
3. The Long Pixie
Pixies are here to stay and that’s something we’re happy about. While long, fresh locks are still the most desirable hair trend, long pixies have made their debut in 2018 with Hollywood stars showcasing some of the best volumized pixie cuts. A little texturizing after your shower is all you need for a long pixie to look perfect. If you’re tired of your long hair, a long pixie might just be the look for you.
While we’ve seen some crazy updos and sleek hairstyles this year, the natural hairstyles remain in the lead for the top trending hairstyles of 2018 and throughout 2019. Whether you’re looking for something subtle, something easy, or something sassy, sporting one of these top three trending low maintenance hairstyles has got ‘ya covered.
