Hair trends for 2019

Always feel like you’re on the back foot when it comes to keeping up with hair trends? Went rose gold months after it was in? Only got a lob cut last week? Don’t worry. We’ve chatted with Vincent Nobile, Co-Owner and Colour Director at Headcase Hair, and John Pulitano, Co-Owner and Creative Director at Headcase Hair (aka some serious hair gurus) about what trends will be the hottest in 2019 so you can stay ahead of the hair curve this year.

Below is everything you need to know about the biggest hair trends for 2019. So pull Pinterest up now and get ready to pin...

BLUNT CUTS ARE BACK

It feels like just yesterday that blunt cuts were being sported left, right and centre, but now the look is back – with a twist. “Blunt haircuts are making a comeback but much shorter than the lob that we saw trending a little while ago,” Pulitano explains.

If you have fine hair this is definitely the look for you, as a short and blunt cut can make your mane appear much thicker than it really is. Look to Lucy Hale and Olivia Wilde for inspiration!

MAKE LIKE JANE BIRKIN

Pulitano is tipping Jane Birkin’s unmistakable straight cut and messy feathered fringe as THE haircut of 2019. For inspiration, look to Suki Waterhouse, Dakota Johnson and modern-day Birkins, French ‘it-girls’, Louise Follain and Jeanne Damas.

Not sure whether a fringe will suit you? Don’t stress, there’s a fringe out there to suit your face shape!

CUE THE COOL BLONDE

When it comes to colour, Nobile is “...loving cooler shades of blonde like champagnes and soft platinum. I see a lot of brassy blondes on the streets and I just don’t think they are flattering.” For shade inspiration, check out Sophie Turner and Julianne Hough’s locks.

To keep your cool blonde locks looking, well, cool, make sure you use shampoos, conditioners and masks that are specially formulated for blonde, coloured hair. beautyheaven loves Provoke Touch of Silver Brightening Shampoo and Intensive Conditioner, Alfaparf Milano That's It Blonde Ambition Shampoo - Cool Blonde, Goldwell Dualsenses Blondes & Highlights 60Sec Treatment and KMS COLORVITALITY Blonde Shampoo and Conditioner.

LIGHTEN UP THE COPPER

“For reds I predict light coppers like Jessica Chastain,” says Nobile, who notes that doing strawberry copper tones is one of his favourite trends right now.

To keep your copper in tip-top shape, beautyheaven loves Pureology Reviving Red Shamp'Oil, De Lorenzo Novafusion Intense.

Always thought about going red? Head to the salon and try the Goldwell Topchic Max Reds. It’s a collection of eight red shades that your colourist can mix to find the perfect red for you!

PLAY WITH PRECISION BALAYAGE

“I’m really liking precision balayage and I think it will be big in 2019. It’s more beautiful, flattering and gives that luxurious hair colour as opposed to over damaging the hair and making it brassy,” Nobile explains. beautyheaven loves looking to Jessica Alba and Gisele Bündchen for balayage inspiration!

Love precision balayage! Looks lovely! Also blunt cuts! I of course have neither but I'd go balayage if I had to choose

On top of this year's bucket list (after driving lessons) - get a beautiful balayage :)

I have never followed trends, but I still like looking at different hairstyles.

SafdarAli 23 Feb 2019 10:17 PM

Please tell me about laser hair removal ?

Susmat 18 Feb 2019 10:30 PM

The blunt cut is just that - severe!

perthchick 15 Feb 2019 2:48 PM

Blunt do. I'm not blonde nor a light red head.

Elefante 13 Feb 2019 11:29 AM

I returned to my blunt lob this summer and struggled to tie and bun my hair on the extremely hot days. I am looking forward to a shorter lob in winter as there will be no urge to pop my hair up in the cooler months.

ThisIsMe 11 Feb 2019 1:40 PM

Ha I was literally just thinking about my hair yesterday and whether I cut a fringe again or what to do with it!

Lisa359 11 Feb 2019 1:15 PM

I'm not a big follower of trends either, none of these appeal to me.

Belleluxe 11 Feb 2019 11:18 AM

I'm really tempted to cut a fringe again.. eek!

Beautybabe140194 11 Feb 2019 9:51 AM

Love the straight hair with the messy fringe. Not sure if I would suit it but I think it looks amazing.

Ellelily 10 Feb 2019 6:43 PM

I have cut my hair shorter than I have in many years, after loosing so much after my cancer treatments, my hair was falling out and had a terrible effect on me. So about three weeks after my treatment stopped I went and had it cut.

blackkittykat 10 Feb 2019 5:53 PM

Ooh, I like the copper coloured locks and blunt cuts quite a lot!

NellAdams 10 Feb 2019 2:09 PM

To be honest, I wish I was a blond just for the fact that you can dye your hair any colour you like without lightening!

Sally10 9 Feb 2019 4:07 PM

I haven't tried any of these products.

Tee631 9 Feb 2019 3:16 PM

I wonder when do the Victoria's secret waves come back

Seashells 9 Feb 2019 1:05 PM

I don't mind a blunt cut but my hair has a tendency to get heavy after a while, so I need some texture in the cut & occasionally some layering too. I've also realised in recent years that short hair doesn't suit me, so I keep my hair longer.

Colour wise, I'm considering a serious change atm. I'm bored of having dark hair all over (especially on my ends) & want to switch things up, with either highlights OR a drastic change in hair colour (I'm talking going from dark brunette to...gasp...light copper, which my hairdresser hasn't stopped banging on about since we met years ago). I've done balayage before, but the bleach ruined my hair unfortunately. My only concerns are finding a colour that suits my cool undertone & that I could end up hating it. Luckily I've got some time to think about it as I've just had a dye job this week.

Okatko 9 Feb 2019 7:59 AM

I though a blunt cut might suit me due to my thinning hair but reading some of these comments has me doubting whether it would work with my frizz prone hair. I don’t have time to style in the morning either.

Meedee 9 Feb 2019 7:58 AM

Ive never been a follower and dont really care about trends. I just do my own thing. I say do whatever makes you happy with your makeup, clothing and hairstyle.

Shop A Everyday 9 Feb 2019 4:29 PM

Oh I so agree Meedee. I know what suits me, I know the colours and styles that suit my face. Some of my worst days are leaving the hair salon, where the stylist did what she wanted to do, rather than what suited me, I could not wash my hair fast enough!

Meedee 9 Feb 2019 4:54 PM

Oh I agree 100%......one of my biggest thrills was when my daughter became a hair stylist and I knew i never had to battle with a hair dresser ever again. My daughter is a perfectionist and I know i can trust her.

Shop A Everyday 9 Feb 2019 5:52 PM

Oh that is lovely, your daughter would do what would flatter you, rather than just say follow a trend or this is what I feel like doing, whether it suits you or not, plus not having to go tot he salon would be nice too Meedee. if your daughter does your hair at home?

Meedee 9 Feb 2019 6:12 PM

Shop A Everyday....sometimes she does it at home for me and sometimes she gets me into the salon if she has a quiet time. When she colours my hair I just let her choose the colour and she always gets it spot on. I know she really wants to cut my hair short but ive had long hair for years and I love it so i wont let her. I know she would be very excited to be able to cut it short though....maybe one day :)

Trish_D 9 Feb 2019 3:40 PM

YAY, Meedee, on the same page!! Ditto totally to all you've said.

Meedee 9 Feb 2019 4:56 PM

Im glad im not alone Trish..... :)
