Shine, Straighten, and Rebel: Top 10 Hairstyles to Rock in 2017

If you’ve decided to live a new life in the new year but don’t know where to start, changing your hairstyle can be the simplest and most effective solution. Given the variety of trends, any individual can find something unique, attractive, and stylish. Grow your hair out or cut it short, experiment with color and style, or stay natural, enjoying practicality and comfort. Here are 10 trendy hairstyles to kickstart your 2017.

Super Straight

One of the biggest trends of 2017 is very straight, smooth, and shiny hair with a middle part. However, this hairstyle won’t suit everyone. When creating it, remember that your hair should be healthy from roots to ends. Straight but split or uncolored hair will look untidy. So, don’t forget to apply a protective spray before using a flat iron.

High Ponytail

Celebrities on the red carpet dictate: the higher, the better. The classic ponytail has undergone changes once again. Now, you should wear it as high as possible. Whether your hair is perfectly straight or naturally messy is up to you. Either way, this hairstyle can complement any look and wardrobe, from casual and business to romantic and sexy.

Flat Waves

Not quite beach waves, but waves nonetheless, are another tribute to natural hair and simpler styling. You can create flat waves using a flat iron, and they will look softer and less glamorous than the beloved curls. Curl your hair with a flat iron, then style it with your hands. Remember, the ends should remain straight.

Grown-Out Bangs

Bangs, one of the surprising hits of 2016, return in 2017 longer and fuller. With shoulder-length hair, long enough bangs to be parted in the middle and styled will look amazing. In other words, you don’t have to worry about neglecting your bangs, as you can turn them into a new stylish hairstyle.

Very Long Hair

Very long hair hasn’t been popular for a long time, as the boom of short haircuts and bobs took over. But today, ideals of femininity are replacing comfort and practicality, making ultra-long hair a hit. If you’ve been hiding your gorgeous hair, now is the time to bring it out and show it off this January. For those with short hair, there’s something to aspire to.

Super Part

One of the simplest hairstyles you can try this year is a deeper part. Remember those moments when, lost in thought, you swept some of your hair to the left or right and then admired how elegantly it cascaded and created volume. This season, such naturalness and asymmetry are reasons to be inspired to create a new hairstyle. Tease your hair slightly and fix it with hairspray or styling gel.

Wet and Shiny

The Spring 2017 Fashion Week symbolized a new trend in hairstyles: wet or smoothly gel-styled hair. Celebrities quickly picked up on this trend, and now you can too. How wet and shiny your hair should be is up to you. A stylish look and a silky effect are guaranteed.

Blonde + Chestnut

In bright light, this shade appears blonde, and in softer light, it looks golden chestnut. This color transformation is another successful find of 2017 stylists. Such a warm, rich, and shiny hair color will add tenderness and mystery to your look, as no one will be able to tell the exact color of your hair. Moreover, this shade suits any skin tone. If you’ve always wanted to try blonde but hesitated, 2017 is your chance.

Androgynous Haircut

In 2017, we can expect a real boom in androgynous style. If earlier only the bravest girls dared to try it, now everyone’s attention is turned to minimalism and challenging traditional femininity. Modern stylists believe that women are ready to accept a male haircut as something completely natural and, moreover, stylish.

Rebellious Style

There’s always room for rebellion, and in 2017, the fashion for rebellion will be everywhere, as this style combines sexuality, naturalness, and individuality. The symbol of inner resistance, the spirit of youth, and daring will find their place in the sun this season, so we strongly recommend you take a risk.
