The tress setters edit!

Gone are the days where you could bank on good hair days! Now, even something as basic as a messy bun needs to be done right. That said, here’s how to get on board with keeping ourselves in check with the latest trends for the brand new year.

If you are planning to chop your hair anytime soon, here are a few cuts you should keep in mind:

The messy bob: Suits almost all face shapes and hair types. And the best part? Maintenance is low-key!

The pixie cut: Someone who is looking for a short haircut; a wide range of different styles fall under the pixie cut.

The elongated bob: This style requires maintenance, but it's worth it. Short at the back and long in the front.

Trending hairstyles that will be a hit this season:

Braids - If you know how to make a braid you are half way there. Almost every new trending hairstyle has a braid involved in it. So many different styles and ideas to choose from.

Buns - If you are someone who likes their hair tied and doesn't want to put much effort into it, buns are the way to go. Make a style statement with something as simple as bun!

Messy Hairstyles - Now, there are two rules to follow with hair, either keep it super neat or super messy (on purpose) messy hairstyles are super cool and easy.

Basically, take any hairstyle and make it looks a little scruffy!  

Now is the time to experiment with your hair. Creative haircuts and hairstyles are being welcomed, so, you might just become the next fashionista in your circle by trying something new!
