Whenever a new year beckons, new hair trends emerge and take over the hair, fashion and beauty industry. Some hair trends are futuristic, chic and transcend the passing of time whilst others however, come and go. Although we’re only a month into 2013 we’re already getting a glimpse of the hair trends that will be in vogue this year.
In this article we’ll show you which hair cuts, colors and styles will rule the roost this year.
Trend #1: The Pixie Cut
From Emma Watson to Rihanna, the pixie cut has made its way out of 1965 and is
hitting runways and celebrity coifs. What makes this style so stunning is that
it highlights stunning facial features and is low maintenance.
Pixie cuts particularly favour individuals with striking facial features- think Halle Berry’s cheek bones, Emma Watson’s eyes or Rihanna’s lips. To get the best cut possible, always make sure you visit an experienced hairdresser and take a photo of the pixie cut that you like.

Trend #2: Purple Hair

In contrast, if you’re more of a risk-taker dare to be different and opt for multi-layered purple tones.
Trend #3: The Low Bun
In 2012 the high bun was the most popular hair trend. However, in 2013 we’re heading in the completely opposite direction with the low bun taking over as this year’s go-to hairstyle.
Trend #4: The Side Sweep
Conjuring up memories of vintage Hollywood starlets like Marilyn Monroe, side swept curls
represent glitz and glamour. However, the side sweep isn’t just perfect for
formal events; it can in fact be a go-to hairstyle for everyday occasions.
To get this look, it’s best to wear your hair in pin-curls at night and then unravel
them in the mornings. Furthermore, keep bobby pins on hand so that you can
neatly pin your hair to the side so that it falls effortlessly.
Trend #5: Bangs
When Kate Middleton stepped out with bangs, we were stunned! Who knew the Duchess
was such a trend setter? Her hair was particularly striking because of its
vintage-retro feel. 2013 will most definitely be the year of the bang.
