Lots Of Volume

Credit: Ada Summer/Getty Images

This one is a no brainer: Down South, volume is always in style. Beyond bouncy blowouts and teasing combs, this year it’s all about thicker, healthier-looking tresses. Try using volume-boosting products to create over-sized styles such as voluminous topknots or wide braids.

Bangs

While a great cut is crucial, what’s happening around the face is just as important. Update your look by adding bangs of any length or thickness.

Ponytails

Different variations of this classic style are going to be everywhere. There are so many ways to turn up your tail: Wear it high at the crown of your head or down by the nape, try a tiered style, or wrap the base in a chic ribbon.

Loose Waves

While polished curls are always pretty, more effortless textures are in. Show off your hair’s natural body by creating soft bend with your curling iron and spritzing in wave spray.

The Hot Hair Cuts

Whether you want a subtle change or full-blown transformation, these cuts are going to be the next big thing at the salon.

Beige

Burnt Red

While the words “hair” and “burnt” should never together, the one time it’s okay is in terms of hair color. Update red or copper hair with hints of dark brown.
