Do you feel you are done with this year? Or are you sad and depressed when you look in the mirror? Yes, your life may be like the opening theme of FRIENDS, but that certainly doesn’t suggest you can change yourself a bit to revive that old spirit. Hair is underrated. Changing your hairstyle can bring a couple of radical shift in your perception. Bad hair days stress everybody out, while good hair days can work wonders. Changing your hairstyle is taken into account a metaphor for changing your life. Transform your look (and life) with these 5 best hairstyles for 2019 – one hairstyle at a time!
- Jane Birkin bangs
Bangs have been around for a long time and have never really gone out of fashion. They’ve only stepped away from the limelight for a while, but stylist Marc Mena says that 2019 will see a return to the innocent, stylish, brow French chic look. Women will compete for those Jane Birkin Bangs once more. Wearing bangs is a simple way to change up your hairstyle without drastically changing the length of your hair. So you can keep your hair, and you get your style; what could be better!?
- Bed
That “I-woke-like-this” look is at all times charming and this year it is back in a big way. Celebrity stylist Andrew Fitzsimons says that ladies embrace the bed head look with loose, wavy hair. Finger combing is back in vogue. Bedheads are an incredible way to go effortless and you can style them in cute or sexy ways. And it can even be combined with other styles. You can have layered or straight hair and still look like a headboard. The versatility of this look is the perfect thing about it. But for the bedhead look to work, it is important to maintain the texture of your hair and keep it healthy. Curl it with an iron or use alternative loose curls.
- Short and textured flesh
Short hair can be drastic, but if your comfort zone is NOT your style, then short hair is unquestionably your style. This style is cut short in the back but longer in the front providing you with a cool emo look. This is the style used by Scarlett Johansson at the Emmys. Moreover, short hair is simple to look after and you do not have to spend lots of time on it. Try an asymmetrical cut if you are feeling it
extra brave. Overall, short hair is awesome and can certainly be unique if you do it right. For a really short hairdo, think Emma Watson or Shaline Woodley & look here for a perfect example of that.
- Loose Wavy Update
This style was also popular back in the 90s and is now making a comeback on the scene. This style can be done anything, according to stylists, from going to the gym to a party in the evening. To achieve this look, start with damp hair and blend and release as much of your natural waves as you can. Once they’re totally dry and messy, spray the roots with a dry texture spray. Part your hair a little from the top of your hairline as if you were making a low ponytail and twist it back into a messy French style. Pin or pin with bobby pins or bobby pins. Then take the loose strands and curl them or let them hang all the way down to create a romantic messy texture.
- Mermaid hair
It generally refers to very long, thick, waves of texture (think of all the mermaids you knew as a child). Yes, sounds impossible right? Those who are naturally lucky enough to have charming long and wavy hair, good for them, it is a simple style for them. But those who are horrified by the effort and time and money they had to spend to attain this look, fret not. You can ‘cheat’ this look. Anything can be faked and that goes for hair too. Use extensions that match your hair for this look. Mermaid hair is characterised by many little things, it seems natural waves in hair of extraordinary length. Stylist Lawless said “this look will be all over the place in 2019 I think”.
