Cute New Hairstyles 2013

Cute New Hairstyles 2013


I live in New York City, which is really the Center of the Universe (people in Seattle may think their Fremont neighborhood is the center of the universe but they're wrong), so when I see trends on the streets, in the subways and on the runways of Fashion Week I take note. And sometimes pictures, although people are a little weirded out with random iPhone photographers such as myself so I don't do this as often as I would like.

Consider this slideshow my trend reporting for what's hot in hair in 2013, based on red carpet perusings, magazine readings and the fact that I live in New York City and am an avid people watcher.

Cute New Hairstyles 2013: Vogue named model Karlie Kloss's haircut, pictured here, "The Haircut of the Moment" last year and then the New York Times wrote about it (check it out). It seems this cut -- which falls in that perfect space between the shoulders and the chin -- has everyone going ga-ga because it's so casual and so chic at the same time. It's so very wash and wear, which is trendy because Fabulous people love to talk about how they spend very little time making themselves appear so Fabulous. I know this from reading the blog "Into the Gloss" on a regular basis. Everyone on that blog is Fabulous and everyone talks about how they don't wear makeup and never wash their face or their hair. Yeah. Right.

You may be looking at this cut and thinking, "Huh. It's a bob. On a beautiful person. Therefore it's trendy." And you're right. This cut is a shaggy bob and you can have it too, although I'm warning you, the Karlie won't look so Fabulous on everyone. It could look blah and hum-drum if the rest of you isn't pretty darn Fabulous.

So here's the background on this haircut. Supermodel Kloss got it in early 2013, and it launched her career. It then inspired many copy cats and is so hip I'm creating a slideshow for it, which I'll debut as soon as I finish it (you will find it right here, so I suggest bookmarking this page and setting an alert on your phone to check back on a daily basis) Cute New Hairstyles 2013.

So there's this young woman who married a Prince and all of a sudden everyone in her country started going to their salons and asking for her hairstyle, her haircut and her hair color, which just so happens to be super rich, super shiny and super -- brown.

Of course that's no fairy tale. Brown is the hottest color in the UK right now thanks to Kate Middleton (that's the Duchess of Cambridge to you)). It's also the hottest color in the US at the moment as well, thanks to celebrities such as the always gorgeous Olivia Palermo, pictured here, who makes brown so amazingly lush and Cute New Hairstyles.

You can take any woman with brown hair and do several things with her hair color: darken it a rich espresso brown with subtle caramel highlights, lighten it to a warm brown/blonde combination known as "bronde" or create a gradient layering of ombré coloring keeping the roots dark as the ends gradually shade lighter.

Cute New Hairstyles 2013: Oh how I love this haircut and color. I see platinum hair color on the most fabulous people in New York City and I have to say it takes guts to pull it off. My boyfriend and I like to people watch in the subways and he'll point out someone with platinum hair and ask what I think and as long as the hair color works with the skin tone I'll give the whole she-bang a thumbs up.
