NEW DELHI:
A new year calls for new beginnings. Why not try a fresh hairstyle with your fresh start too? Expert hairstylist Asgar Saboo predicts hairstyles that will be in vogue in 2014, and those that will be swept under the rug of 2013. The Britain-based stylist has suggestions for how both women and men can usher in the New Year with a stylish new do.
For Women:
Windswept up-dos: This look is both casual and dishevelled, yet oozes subtle glamour and sex appeal. For those who are a fan of up-dos, it is recommended to let plenty of loose locks fall around the face when pinning hair up. Try this look out for your holiday parties.
Short hair and cropped pixie cuts: Looking for a drastic change? Give yourself a cropped hairstyle. If you already have short hair, a great way to make cropped cut more exciting is by adding layering. However, it is advised to always consider the shape of your face and hair texture first before making any dramatic change.
Braids: For those ladies who are already thinking about spring and summer of next year, they can start experimenting with braids. Popular ones include the braid crown, in which a thick braid is wrapped around the crown of the head. A fishtail braid can be intertwined with neutral-coloured ribbons, creating a fun yet sleek and subtle twist.
For Men:
Long hair: Keeping hair long will give you a chance to create numerous styles as per your wish. Static buzz cuts are no longer trending — long hair, which can be tousled, swept to the side or slicked back in a ‘Great Gatsby’ style is totally in!
Accessorise: Men can accessorise using a bandana. For those apprehensive among you, a bandana is both masculine and casual and can work extremely well for men who are too lazy to style their hair.
Sharp fringes and varied lengths: For an edgier look, a rise in the short, sharp fringe is often carried well and emphasised when the sides and crown of the head are cut short. Not only is this a refreshing change but it also works well for those who wish to hide a receding hairline or simply keep their foreheads covered.
