Wouldn’t you just love a “new head” with the new year? After the hustle and bustle of Christmas, I bet many of us would love one! We don’t mean it literally, of course, but we do think a change of colour or cut is the way to go in the new year. What kinds of hairstyles will we have in 2024?
The hair trends for 2024 are putting even more emphasis on naturalness and simplicity. Will a simple but perfectly cut bob or long butterfly fringe win you over? Will it be the little sister of balayage – foilyage – which guarantees perfectly natural grown-out colour, thanks to which you can take longer breaks between visits to the hairdresser?
Are you interested in the hair colour trends, and do you want a head of hair like Beyoncé? Foilyage is here for you. It combines the idea of balayage, i.e. applying dye freehand with a brush to strands of hair, with the use of regular aluminium foil to separate sections of hair during the dyeing process. This allows for more control and stronger colour intensity. Finally, the hair is toned to the desired shade and the resulting colour looks incredibly natural.
You’ll love this technique if you like “maintenance-free” hair, and you’ll see your hairdresser about once every three months. And with a really good foilyage, you can manage for up to a year.
The bob hairstyle is trending on TikTok with over 7 billion views, and it won’t be going anywhere in 2024. It’s no wonder. This length of hair is fresh, stylish, practical, easy to style and not at all boring. Shorter or longer, sleek, wavy or shaggy, celebrity heads abound with bobs. Margot Robbie, Zendaya, Hailey Bieber and Jenna Ortega – they all suit a bob cut.
How do you choose the right bob length? Oval faces suit a classic bob that ends around halfway down the neck; squarer faces can handle a shorter cut, and rounder shapes will suit a long bob.
After many years where the hair trend was a strict mullet, i.e. hair shorter on the sides of the head and the crown and longer at the back, femininity and a gentle softening of the facial contours are now back in. The butterfly cut is actually a combination of shorter and longer layers of hair, creating volume and natural movement.
The name butterfly cut is inspired by the butterfly wing shape it resembles, but it should really be called Farrah, after the legendary American actress Farrah Fawcett, who made it famous in the 1970s. Now Jennifer Lopez, Sydney Sweeney and Priyanka Chopra love to wear it.
From tight curls to loose waves, everything is in. Hooray! In recent years, there has been a real shift in the perception of beauty, and naturalness and diversity are becoming increasingly appreciated.
Whether you have naturally curly hair, a perm, or you carefully create a style with your hair straighteners or curling tongs, you can’t help but love curls. With the right care, they add great volume and texture and make you look youthful. So go for it!
So which 2024 hairstyle, cut, and fashionable hair colour trends have caught your eye? Will you be trying at least one of them?
