In 2018, we embraced experimental new shades, tried 'baby bangs' and saw the buzz cut revolutionise the red carpet. Come 2019, as individualism booms, these are the hair trends we expect to see, as predicted by the experts.
Age-inclusivity has finally blossomed in the beauty industry, which means individuals are not only dying their hair a fashion-forward silver but are embracing their natural grey hairs too. As Pinterest searches for ‘going gray’ increased by 879 per cent this year, Redken’s global creative colour director Josh Wood explains how to manage the transition in 2019.
“Work with a colourist to try to get the hairline as light as your natural grey. If the eye sees the lightest colour against the face it will give the appearance of being totally grey.” Then, use a glossing service like the DIA Richesse service at L’Oréal Professionnel salons nationwide, to subtle decrease any patchiness.
You might also want to consider cutting your hair, as “the shorter you go the more any existing colour you are using will be cut out, thus exposing more of the natural colour and grey”, says Wood.
