Trending Girls' Hairstyles in 2017: A Fresh and Stylish Guide
Welcome to 2017, a year that's already shaping up to be a big one for fashion and beauty trends, including girls' hairstyles. As we step into this new year, we're seeing a resurgence of classic styles with a modern twist, as well as some exciting new looks that are sure to turn heads. Let's dive into the most popular girls' hairstyles of 2017 so far.
Retro Revivals: The '70s and '90s Make a Comeback
2017 is all about embracing the past and giving it a contemporary edge. We're seeing a big comeback of '70s-inspired styles, with the iconic Farrah Fawcett waves and the disco-inspired high ponytail making a strong appearance on the red carpet and in fashion magazines. Meanwhile, the '90s are back with a vengeance, with the half-up half-down style, butterfly clips, and scrunchies all making a comeback.
Farrah Fawcett Waves
The classic Farrah Fawcett waves are back, but with a more undone, beachy texture. To achieve this look, use a medium-barreled curling iron to create loose waves, then run your fingers through your hair to break up the curls and create a more natural, effortless look.
High Ponytail
The high ponytail is a staple of the disco era, but in 2017, it's getting a sleek, modern update. To achieve this look, smooth your hair back into a high ponytail, then use a straightening iron to create a smooth, glossy finish. For an extra touch of glamour, wrap a section of hair around the ponytail elastic and secure it with a bobby pin.
Braids: The Ultimate 2017 Girl's Hairstyle
Braids are a perennial favorite, and in 2017, they're bigger and better than ever. From the classic French braid to the intricate fishtail, braids are a stylish and practical way to keep your hair under control, whether you're at school, work, or a special event.
French Braid
The French braid is a timeless classic that's perfect for any occasion. To create a modern take on this style, try a Dutch braid, which is essentially a French braid done in reverse, creating a braid that sticks out instead of lying flat against the head.
Fishtail Braid
The fishtail braid is a more intricate and elegant alternative to the classic three-strand braid. To create this look, divide your hair into two sections, then take a small piece from the outer edge of one section and cross it over to the other section. Repeat this process on the other side, working your way down the length of your hair.
Short and Sweet: The Best Pixie Cuts and Bobs of 2017
If you're feeling bold, 2017 is the year to go short. Pixie cuts and bobs are big news this year, with celebrities like Emma Watson and Karlie Kloss leading the way. The key to a successful short style is finding a cut that suits your face shape and hair texture, so don't be afraid to consult with your stylist and try out a few different looks before settling on the perfect one.
Pixie Cut
The pixie cut is a classic short style that's perfect for those with fine or thin hair. To add volume and texture, ask your stylist to create layers and choppy ends, then use a texturizing spray or sea salt spray to create beachy waves.
Lob (Long Bob)
The lob, or long bob, is a versatile style that works well on all face shapes. To create a modern take on this look, ask your stylist to cut your hair to just above or below the chin, then use a straightening iron to create sleek, smooth waves.
Color Trends: Pastels and Bold Shades
2017 is all about making a statement with your hair color. We're seeing a big trend towards pastel shades like lavender, baby blue, and pink, as well as bold, vibrant hues like red, purple, and blue. Whether you're looking for a subtle pop of color or a full-on rainbow transformation, there's a hair color trend out there for you.
Pastel Shades
Pastel hair color is a big trend for 2017, and it's easy to see why. These soft, muted shades add a touch of whimsy and femininity to any hairstyle, and they're perfect for those who want to experiment with color without going too bold. To achieve a pastel shade, your hair will need to be lightened first, so be prepared for some maintenance and upkeep.
Bold Shades
If you're feeling daring, 2017 is the year to go bold with your hair color. We're seeing a big trend towards vibrant, statement shades like red, purple, and blue. To achieve these bold hues, you'll need to use a high-quality hair dye and follow the instructions carefully to avoid damaging your hair. Once you've achieved your desired shade, be prepared to maintain it with regular touch-ups and color-safe hair care products.
Accessories: The Finishing Touch
No hairstyle is complete without the perfect accessories. In 2017, we're seeing a big trend towards embellished hair accessories, like beaded headbands, crystal hair pins, and bedazzled hair clips. These accessories add a touch of glamour and sophistication to any hairstyle, and they're a great way to elevate a simple look.
- Beaded Headbands: A classic accessory that's making a comeback, beaded headbands add a touch of boho chic to any hairstyle.
- Crystal Hair Pins: These sparkling accessories are perfect for adding a touch of glamour to an updo or a special occasion hairstyle.
- Bedazzled Hair Clips: From rhinestones to pearls, bedazzled hair clips are a fun and playful way to add some sparkle to your hairstyle.
Whether you're looking for a classic style with a modern twist or a bold, statement look, 2017 has something to offer everyone. From retro revivals to braids and bold hair colors, this year is all about embracing your individuality and having fun with your hair. So go ahead, experiment with new styles and colors, and most importantly, have fun with it!
