Hottest Hair Trends of the Past Year
Short Hair
In 2018, short hair was the trend to watch. Shoulder-length cuts in bold colors such as black, dark green, brown, and yellow were a popular choice, emphasizing the face and drawing attention. Another stylish option was the slightly curled shoulder-length hair, favored by Japanese girls for its low-maintenance and convenience. Short shoulder-length hair added dynamism and energy, especially for those with round faces.
Lightly Wavy Long Hair
The wavy long hair style was on-trend, offering a modern and trendy look. Gentle curls added texture, and regular care using hair oils prevented tangles. This hairstyle could be modified with ponytails or accessorized with headbands and hairpins, giving a neat and charming appearance. Lightly wavy long hair suited most face shapes, but particularly complemented oval or long faces.
– Start by shampooing the hair to make it clean and voluminous (optional step).
– Allow the hair to dry to about 90% to minimize damage from the straightener. The hair should still have a little moisture.
Note: Avoid using styling gel before straightening as it can cause hair damage.
– Select the appropriate temperature setting for your hair.
– Divide the hair into small sections to avoid repeatedly straightening the same section, which can lead to damage.
– Clamp each section of hair with the straightener, hold tightly, and slide from the roots to the ends. Repeat 2-3 times until the hair is straight, then move on to the next section.
– After straightening, apply hair cream or oil to restore moisture, create natural softness, and help the style last longer.
Hair Styling Tools for Voluminous and Alluring Hair
Voluminous wavy hair could be achieved with various hair styling tools, including curlers, hair dryers, and even straighteners. Each tool offered different methods to create various types of waves. Experimenting and exploring different hairstyles with these tools allowed for a dynamic and fresh look every day.
How to Use a Curling Iron to Create Wavy Hair
Surprisingly, a hair straightener could also be used to create beautiful and attractive wavy hairstyles. Here’s how:
– Apply a layer of hair protection gel to shield the hair from the high temperature of the straightener.
– Use the straightener to straighten the gel-coated section of hair.
– Divide the hair into small sections and wrap each section in aluminum foil. Use the straightener to curl the hair inside the foil, resulting in gentle waves.
– Alternatively, divide the hair into multiple sections and secure each section with clips. Use the straightener to curl each clipped section separately. This technique creates small, even, playful, and attractive curls.
– For a quick and simple method, take a small section of hair, hold the straightener diagonally, clamp the hair from the root to the middle, wrap the hair around the straightener 1-2 times (depending on hair length), and pull it down. This technique produces natural-looking waves.
Each hairstyle offers a different style and beauty. Express your creativity and personality through your hair by using various hair styling tools. Achieve a dynamic and fresh look every day.
