Professional artists for haircare and hair color company Matrix have identified main hairstyle trends which will influence celebrities and style conscious women everywhere. They base their predictions on the looks spotted at New York Spring 2012 Fashion Week as well as annual Emmy Awards.
- Mad, Mod Beehives
The beehive is back, according to Matrix Artistic Director Ammon Carver, but with a twist. “At shows like Diane Von Furstenberg,” he explains, “high bouffants evoked the cool retro elegance of Mad Men’s Christina Hendricks. But rather than traditional sleek and solid shapes, these hives are roughed up and romantic – with lots of texture and even wisps and flyaways.” A two-toned color scheme – darker on the sides, lighter on top – give these styles a punk-rock spin. Light teasing is essential when creating these looks.
- Patent Leather Ponies
Ponytails will gleam next season, says Nick Stenson, Matrix Artistic Director. A trendy, high-shine finish was popular with designers like Derek Lam. Inspired by the sleek style of celebrities like Kate Bosworth, “the finish on these styles is very glamorous,” says Stenson. Close fitting, neat and chic, shiny ponytails will be the perfect punctuation for many of spring’s clean, timeless sportswear collections. Stenson adds, “It requires healthy, well-hydrated strands to wear this look well.”
- Scalloped Edges
Braids have played a predominant role in hair styles for several seasons and the trend continues according to Matrix Artistic Designer Franco Della Grazia. For spring, look for plump and glossy braids edging hairlines. “A single accent braid embellishes hairstyles beautifully. Braids are best when they’re smooth and defined,” remarks Della Grazia.
- Giddy, Glamorous Waves
Hollywood glamour waves, tossed exuberantly over one shoulder, topped many of the sassy, sexy style collections during Fashion Week. According to Della Grazia, this “glam-with-whimsy” feeling is perfect for lighthearted spring styles. The styles are characterized by deep side parts and crisply defined waves. Hair is swept over one shoulder and pinned behind the ear to keep strands in place. These high class waves will be complemented by bombshell colors – like vixen red, smoky brunette and “platinum card” blonde.
To create these look, these pros recommend using products from Matrix.
