Trend 2: Wavy hair; Trend 3: Short, layered and shaggy; plus 4 outdated 'dos to avoid
Trend 2: Start a wave
Wavy hair of all lengths has been taking over magazine covers for spring. If your hair is naturally wavy, embrace its texture this season.
"A lot of people are getting used to wearing their hair more natural rather than just pin straight," says Houshmand. He suggests using a product that defines your wave and adds shine without looking oily, such as Shine Junkie by Bed Head, which goes on dry hair.
Colour confidential
If you're looking for a new colour, choose warm brown shades for spring instead of red, which was popular during the winter.
If you typically shy away from getting highlights because of the time and cost that comes with maintaining them, Houshmand offers some insider pointers. "Highlights are not high-maintenance if they're placed right," he states. "The placement of colour is more important than the tone of colour."
Even though staying on top of trends is part of his job, Houshmand warns not to follow fads too strictly. The best thing you can do for your hair is to go with a style that looks good on you.
"Every length of hair, every shape of hair is still hot," he explains. "It just has to be tweaked to the season."

 | Trend 3: Short and pretty Making the big chop is always a popular move in the spring. One of the shorter styles that has become very mod is the shaggy layered 'do recently made popular by film actress Sienna Miller. Graduated layers with long bangs offer a feminine look that, if cut right, can be a great wash-and-go style. To master shorter looks, use a non-greasy paste that gives your hair some definition and edge, like Bed Head's Hard to Get. Houshmand considers it a great finishing product, especially for short hair. Outdated hair trends Houshmand warns against wearing these four passé looks this season: - chunky highlights - the mid-length bob - a cut that is all one length - the "Jennifer Aniston" cut (that shoulder-length layered style with flipped out ends) |
