2017 hair trends

Although the beehive is most commonly associated with iconic French beauty Brigitte Bardot, this retro hairstyle is experiencing a moment in the contemporary spotlight.

There has been plenty of discussion this season about hairstyles to rock, but the latest trend in hair colour quite literally draws its inspiration from rocks. Known as geode hair, this rising colour fad features luminous, shining tones which bring the beautiful stones to mind.

While Brigitte Bardot may have been best known as a vintage icon, it looks like the blond bombshell’s signature ‘do is also influencing the hair trends of today. In fact, numerous beauty lovers have been drawing their hair inspiration from Bardot’s locks, with flippy and sideswept fringe creating a sensation.

For beauty lovers who are hoping to grow out their own locks, it seems that there may be welcome news in the air. As the latest trend in hair, super long and pin-straight manes are quickly making a splash as a must-have look.

Most commonly seen in soft, coppery shades of pink or the faintest of blush hues, pink tips are a less obvious way to adopt this hair trend. With Valentine’s Day around the corner, temporary pink ends can also help you celebrate the most romantic day of the year.

While the mullet may be best remembered as a notorious hairstyle from the 1980s and early 1990s, it looks like this often-debated hairdo is back for 2017. With other Nineties hairstyles like the shag also returning to the spotlight, it’s clear that this year is drawing its hair trends from this decade.

Even if your New Year’s Resolution is to reduce your sugar intake, you can still appreciate the sweet stuff in the form of beauty trends. From edible chocolate nails to candy-coloured eyeshadow, it’s clear that Winter 2017 looks are drawing their inspiration from our favourite snacks.
