Throw out the traditional rule book, because 2023 is all about embracing hairstyles you love. Women are going short and sharp, while men are favouring long and loud.
From the football field to school classrooms, the quintessential Australian mullet haircut of the 1980s has made a grand comeback in recent years. Further to this is the still-trending top perm with tapered haircut. Extra curls, body, height and texture have made a huge come back among men.
Thankfully, the curly mullet’s popularity is declining this year to make way for a slightly more sophisticated Aussie favourite. The buzz cut is our next trend prediction for men. This used to be what your parents would ask for when they took you to the barbershop once a month, but it’s making a comeback as a very trendy look.
For women the blunt classic bob is extremely classic and still on trend – a sharp shape that is striking. This is less about the layers and more about straight lines and angles; the epitome of a power haircut.
For colours it’s all glazed solids. Block colours with major shine factor will be big, especially for blondes and brunettes. I’m really loving solid, glossy colour that we’re calling ‘double glazed’. The solid finish gives it richness and depth. We’re loving brunette tones in iced chocolate and double chocolate. This is also happening in blondes. No more balayage – it’s all bright and creamy glossy blondes.
Don’t forget to use a very moisturising shampoo and conditioner. A great hair look starts with keeping it healthy and in great shape. That’s also why regular trips to your hairdresser are so important – to keep your hair and mind fresh.
