Hair Trends... Hot or Notsomuch?

I'm guilty of it too. I want my hair to be trendy so I don't look drab and middle-aged before my time. 

Currently, I'm sporting ombre'd hair - but very subtle lightened tips...

A little more THIS

Than THIS 

In a year's time some of us will still be rocking the below trends, but then again, some of us wouldn't be caught dead sporting these styles sooner OR later...

Let's have a look at the some of the things we're doing to, and with our hair...

THE TOP- KNOT 

Start by making a tight pony tail and then back comb and tease your hair into a wild mess, before shaping your desired bun -size. Use another thin hairband to keep it in place, and some additional clips if necessary 

PASTEL DIP -DYE 

Horror of all horrors, why would any woman do this to herself.  Thank goodness most of these dyes are semi-permanent. Are we in the circus, I don't get it. #notafan


HAIR ACCESSORIES 

Nicole Richie you are the queen of everything hair-wise...But these other stars do the sparkly accessory to an outfit well too. Such a nice was of fancying up an otherwise tousled pony tail or updo.

Bold headbands also falls into this category. They're kind of reminiscent of a bygone era -  a little Great Gatsby when I look at Michelle Williams with her pixie cut, wearing her black headband...

FRENCH BRAID/ FISH BRAID 

Sadly, mainly for the girls with long hair and without pesky fringes which add to the layers in the hair. So many different areas to plait your braid from - side pony style like Kim K, with your fringe, like Jen or into an updo, like Sarah Michelle Gellar. Very pretty and just adds some extra femininity! Boys can't do French braids! You've got to have quite some skill to do a perfect French braid as it involves a lot of 'adding hair into plait' at different stages 

...and sadly, I think blunt fringes are OUT OUT OUT 

Sorry Zooey and Carly Rae.
