If you're considering a new cut, color, style, or treatment, make it one of these trends everyone will be talking about this year. It's impossible to predict every hairstyle and color that will go from Hollywood fad to full-on, mainstream trend. Let us discuss three latest hair trends of this year.
INFACE FRAMING HI-LIGHTS
Celebs like Drew Barrymore and Jessica Biel covered up their two-toned hair in 2011 in favor of monochrome hues, but thousands of regular women still headed to the salon to "get ombré-d." While the trend isn't showing
any signs of slowing down, stylists think the look will evolve. "You're going to see a lot of people with blended color -- a mix of ombré ends and bright highlights around the face," says celebrity stylist Sarah Potempa. "It's a fresh way to transition into spring."
The roots and the crown of the head will be darker (a plus for anyone who loves the low-maintenance aspect of ombré), but the highlights around the face will make the color transition seem more gradual
STRAIGHT WAVES
Every year there's a new adjective to describe wavy hair: beachy, bouncy, bedhead. This year is no exception -- except the adjective doesn't start with a "b." Pantene celebrity stylist Tippi Shorter is calling this year's trend "straight waves." "It's uniform and polished, but lies flatter -- it's less of a curl," she says.
To get the look, Shorter suggests using a spray gel on damp hair and then sleeping in three or four big braids. "Whether your hair is naturally straight or curly, this will change the texture into waves," she says. "And if you're in a rush, you can always blow dry the braids." Once you've taken your braids out, use a 1-inch curling iron to define each of the sections even more.

BRAIDED UPDO
Braids have been big since the Spring 2010 Alexander Wang runway show -- and that was actually in September 2009. Sure, they've evolved from thick ropes to more intricate fishtail styles, but it's about time for a real change. Instead of the hanging versions, Corby thinks braided updos are the next big trend: "I'm going to be braiding like crazy this season -- but I'm taking them up," he says. "Whenever you think braids are going to go away, we stylists find a way to incorporate them." He also thinks it's a reflection of the times: "People are still in a hippie mood -- so it's got to be a little natural."
