Did you remember to wear a hat? With the arrival of cold weather, this headwear becomes an essential part of our look. Beanies, berets, hoods, and scarves are needed not only for decoration but also for protection against colds, as well as for maintaining the health and beauty of hair. The frosty air makes locks dull and brittle. Therefore, we must cover our heads, but we shouldn't forget about the beauty of our hairstyle.
To avoid feeling embarrassed about taking off your hat in public transport, cafes, or at work, it is important to choose the right haircut that will maintain volume even under the pressure of a tight headwear. Stylist Roman Spektr listed three trendy options for every taste.
Pixie
This haircut has been favored by Victoria Beckham for many years. And for good reason. She doesn’t wear hats very often, but she understands perfectly how youthful this shape can make you look. Even naturally fine hair appears fuller and "richer," and it frames the face nicely. Depending on the shape of the face and cheekbones, one can experiment with the length at the nape and the descending elongation at the front. A headpiece is unlikely to spoil a well-done pixie, especially if you get used to styling it.
"Pixies come in different lengths: very short, medium, and elongated, based on a bob," explains the expert.
Shag
Fashionistas have surely not only heard about this haircut but have also had a chance to "try it on." This is another versatile option that doesn’t require complicated styling and maintains a long-lasting voluminous effect. The whole secret lies in a special technique where the hair is thinned at the ends, graduated, and chaotically styled with fingers, a blow dryer, or a diffuser. A creative mess on the head always looks playful, stylish, and interesting, as if a light breeze has tousled the strands in different directions, giving the look a sense of ease and boldness.
Again, this option can be created at any length. An experienced stylist will assess the initial condition of the hair and determine which shag will maintain a well-groomed appearance and volume.
Smart Haircut
Roman Spektr also reminded us of another fresh trend. The "smart haircut" implies minimal styling or even no styling at all. This is the perfect option for those who dislike disappointment when looking in the mirror the day after a salon visit. Often, the delicately crafted volume created by the stylist quickly deflates after sleep. Today, many stylists are successfully mastering the technology of smart haircuts. Moreover, there is no universal "recipe" for this. Every woman is unique, and the stylist first assesses the condition of the hair, color type, and shape of the head and face before starting to work, improvising in the process.
"Currently, haircuts with a dense cut, meaning without heavy thinning of the hair, are also in fashion, both for men and women. In men's haircuts, there is a trend towards longer, more classic shapes, something in the style of Johnny Depp," concludes the stylist.
