they say 2012 is the end of the world! but that doesn't mean that you can't look très chic et branché! lets see what the experts say about the latest and predictable trends that are going to take over this year!
1) Keratin Treatments Still Dominate
Sleek hair is hot once again, but many women are still spooked by all the bad press keratin treatments have been getting. With that in mind, many brands are finding more natural ways to smooth hair. Tela, an organic line created by master stylist Philip Pelusi, debuted the Phyto Keratin Smoothing Treatment Blowout, an in-salon treatment that uses certified organic, plant-based ceramides to smooth hair, increase shine and eliminate frizz for up to 6 weeks, all without any potentially harmful chemicals.
2) Space-Age Manicures
Although we saw a lot of crackle polishes at the show, the look that we think is going to dominatenails in 2012 is the magnetic manicure. Brands like Layla Cosmetics, an Italian company, are introducing lacquers that contain iron powders. When you pass a magnet over the wet polish, it "pushes" the powders, creating a marbleized effect. Expect to see a multitude of brands launching their own magnetic polishes over the new few months.
3) French twist
Given that classic fashion revivals define 2012, it should come as no surprised to find that classic hairstyles also go a long way to defining the year. Equally of no surprise is the fact that the French twist hairstyle features for the year.
Hair type suited to: long straight hair & long wavy hair. Hair colour suited to: all. Season suited to: best as a spring / summer 2012 hairstyle
4) Side pinned wavesFlowing, bouncy waves accessorised by a side-pinned barrette create something of a girlish charm. While long hair works fantastically well for this look – as seen on the spring runway of Sonia Rykiel – this hairstyle can also work for short or mid hair lengths. A collision of forties glamour and seventies relaxed cool.
