Spring Hair Trends that will Leave you Speechless

Spring is a subtle season, but the hair trends for the coming up season are far from discreet. Check out this article to discover the latest trends, and learn how to create these hairstyles at home!

Retro Hairstyles are a Blast from the Past

Retro hairstyles are making a big comeback this year. Finger waves, barrel curls, and chignons are only a few examples of old Hollywood glam that have already made a huge impact.

One of the hottest looks on the red carpet this year is finger waves. These waves are tricky to set, but you can cheat by using a triple barrel curling iron to create similar results.  Start near the scalp and work your way down until the entire strand is wavy.

Bright, Bold Hair Colors are Lighting Up the Runways

Bright hair colors are fun and exciting for those daring enough to try them. Now is your chance to let loose because this spring it’s fashionable to draw inspiration for your new hair color from a box of crayons!

You can create this trendy look with a semi-permanent hair color. This type of hair color only lasts for a few weeks, unless your hair is overly porous, making it an excellent option. If a bold semi-permanent hair color sounds like right fit for you, I recommend using a well-known brand like Manic Panic. They have a wide assortment of bright, edgy hair colors that you can choose from along with directions to create your desired result.

Center Parts are Stealing Our Hearts

The center part is a crisp, classic style that is making its mark in 2012. You can see this hair trend in the latest magazines, runways, and red carpets.

This is a simple style that almost anyone can duplicate. All you have to do to create this look is part your hair down the middle. That’s it! If you want to create a softer style, mess up your part with your fingers. This will create a softer look that makes your center part stand apart from the rest.

The Wet Look has Officially Gone from Frumpy to Fabulous

Yes, this year it is stylish to look like you just stepped out of the shower. The best thing about this hairstyle is that it works for all hair types.

The wet look is easy to create. All you have to do is apply Argan oil to your hair. If you love texture, mix hair gel and oil in equal parts. Then, apply the mixture to create a cool twist of this modern hairstyle.  Buy.com sells affordable Argan oil shine treatments.

Bring out your inner fashionista, and be the first one of your friends to try a new Spring 2012 hair trend!

Hit a glam slam by choosing a hairstyle that’s styled to perfection

Infuse a little spice into your life with a haute mid-length that’s layered to perfection. You won’t have to dress it up at all! Layers swing into place when thick strands are cut to work with your hair’s natural texture and are styled for subtle movement at the ends.

Ultra Edgy

Be bold enough to go with a cut that’s a lot longer on one side than the other. Heavy layering at the ends adds movement to the look, which is blown-dry mostly by hand. Then, stop finger-styling and flick up ends with a round brush. Keep the light side tucked back — this prevents hair from overwhelming your face.

Fabu-Lush

Take the haircut to a higher level by working against your natural part. To combine volume and texture, set hair on jumbo-sized hot rollers. Brush through once as you direct sections back, then use hairspray-covered fingers to pull out pieces here and there. Clip the lighter side back to add drama.

Easy and Breezy

From the elongated V-shape at the nape to the layered sides, this slightly graduated cut only looks like it took time to style. The key is the haircut, which has a strong foundation and is scrupulously maintained with 4-week trims. To style, rough-dry with your fingers, then use a round brush to lift roots and direct ends of the fringe.

Softened  Geometric Bob

A smooth, geometric bob is all about softness when ends are directed inward. Pair the cut with curvy, side-swept bangs to take  the edge off even more, Blow-dry with a flat brush to keep the surface! wrap the fringe around a round brush and let It fall to the side.

Final in The Three Part Bob Hair Series

We start off Part III of our three-part series on classic bob hair styles with a medium bob hairstyle with fragmented edging. This softened blunt is just about right for anyone who has a proportional forehead and no need for bangs. Still, the sides and faux fringe act as a soft frame. Angle the heavy side forward or back, but keep the line simple to support softness. It’s also a great look for fine hair.

Geometric Short Bob Haircut

Unless you’re ready to get a straightening service, this cut will be hard for curly girls to style. But if your hair is smooth, go straight for this bob, which uses strong geometries to keep hair in shape. Also, keep in mind that you’ll need to get regular trims. Then, all you have to do is use a round brush to blow-dry.

Quiff Styled Short Bob Hair

Great for adding volume to fine hair, this blown-back snip is curved at the sides and tapered on the ends to tuck right behind your ears. Because it shows off so much, skip it if you have a really disproportional face. Add a little gel, and it can even accommodate a front cowlick!

Bob Hairstyle with Faux Bangs

No question about it: You must have thick, dense but not coarse hair to pull off this hair style. The trick is in getting the faux fringe to stay sideways, which demands daily blow drying and hair that’s not so coarse it won’t stay in place. Graduated ends stack up for a full finish when you turn them under.
