Hair Trends for the New Year

The new year is only a few days away, which calls for some reinvention. Whether you plan to get in shape or eat better or even be more social in 2014, why not also resolve to try some new trends when it comes to your hair? A new color can give you that change you're looking for, but maybe you'd like to try something a little less permanent. Here are 3 trends you can incorporate into your morning routine for a completely different appearance.

The sporty look
Look like you just came from the gym, except without the sweat and spandex. Victoria Beckham really worked this style and now you'll want to, too. Headbands are easy to find and low, sleek ponies are a cinch.

The extremely deep side-part
The deep side-part was in during the latter part of the year, and now it's going extreme. Part as far on the side as you feel comfortable. Not only will it give you an interesting shape, but you'll also create volume.

The messy braid
2013 was all about braids, and they aren't going anywhere soon in 2014 either. Heck, they don't even have to be perfect. In fact, the messy braid is the thing, so if you aren't great at self-braiding, it isn't a big deal!

Sparkling Holiday Hairdos

Christmas is just next week and you're probably headed to a few parties. Jazz up your look with a little sparkle. That's right. You can add extra oomph to your holiday hair with a fun accessory, and nothing makes a 'do more special than a sparkly bow or comb. Here are some of our fave styles for the season. Wear these for Christmas or New Year's Eve.

The side pony is simple, but with a little flair, it can be pretty amazing.

Loose waves are easy to do. Bling 'em up with a glittery barrette.

Dig Out Your Purples!

Pantone has announced their Color of the Year for 2014! This year was all about the emerald and 2012 was tangerine. This year they're going in a different direction and keeping with a great hue that works in every season: Radiant Orchid.


Besides being a fab color for the whole year, you probably have a few items already in this shade, like nail polish or eye shadow, so it's easier to mix into your look right away. This shade of purple is always a flattering one and can be found in clothing from seasons past, so it's possible you even have a top or pants that you'll want to bring to the front of your closet. 

Pantone 2014

Radiant Orchid isn't just for the ladies either. You can bring it into men's looks and even your home. Imagine a purple and white chevron stripe throw pillow set for your couch! Leatrice Eisman from Pantone says "Radiant Orchid inspires confidence and emanates great joy, love and health. It is a captivating purple, one that draws you in with its beguiling charm.” That sounds like a perfect way to head into to a new year!


How are you going to incorporate this new color trend this year?
