We’ve all heard the phrase “New Year, New You.” And if you’re considering sprucing your look up or even reinventing yourself, then changing your hair style or colour is the perfect way to shake out the old and introduce the new! In 2022, retro and classic looks trended heavily. The 70s shag made a comeback, while the blunt bob was everywhere. Low maintenance wispy bangs were also in vogue. The ever-popular pixie cut got a new spin with the “bixie” – a cross between a pixie and a bob. 2022 was also the year of vivid overlays, where natural colours were highlighted with shades of blues, pinks and lilacs. An exciting mix of the old and the new, but what hair trends and hair styles will be hot in 2023?
Side Partings
Side partings were synonymous with style back in the day. Cast your mind back to the golden years of Hollywood and iconic stars like Audrey Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor and Marilyn Monroe. It was also the go-to look for a generation of supermodels in the 80s. However, in recent years, the look’s fallen from grace, with Gen zedders deriding the look, saying it was for old people! However, for 2023, deep side partings are coming back with a vengeance. The look screams elegance and frames the face beautifully, enhancing the features. If you go for this look, remember to vary the parting. Constantly parting in the same place can cause stress to the hair in that area, leading to potential breakage.
The Butterfly

This 2023 hair trend will be a big player in the coming year. It’s a gorgeous, soft style built on layers. The butterfly wings are made up of shorter layers on the face, which are melded subtly with longer layers from the chin. It’s a light, feathery look that harks back to the 70s shag styles made famous by Farrah Fawcett. A wonderful cut that builds volume and texture, and it’s also fantastic for those seeking to grow out their hair.
Box Bob

The Bob hair cut never seems to go out of fashion; there are just so many ways this style can be spun. Its versatility is the bob’s not-so-secret weapon, all the different shapes mean a bob can be cut to suit any face shape and any hair type. 2023 will be the year of the “box” bob. The style’s cut to barely past the nape of the neck with the ends cut razor-sharp. At the back of the head, subtle steps are cut into the bob. It’s edgy, and the cut gives hair lashings of volume – great for those with thin hair or hair fall. Elegant, stylish, timeless. It’s no wonder the bob’s so popular, and this smart new version will be seen everywhere in 2023.

Colours
When it comes to hair trends in 2023, it’s not just about the style. It’s about the colour too! If you’ve decided on a new cut for the New Year, or just want to augment what you already have, then colour can heighten the look. Here’s what will be hot in 2023:
Warm Blondes
Think honeyed shades – it’s all about warm, rich and natural blondes.
Rich Reds
Reds have been all over social media and style mags for the past couple of years. With shades for all skin tones, expect 2023 to be yet another great year for the reds!
Chocolate Browns
Sleek, rich browns will be all the rage – and like the warm blondes, a natural look will set the scene in 2023.
Whatever colour you go for, remember that harsh chemicals in commercial dyes can damage your hair and scalp. There are many excellent, natural alternatives out there.
