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!
