2013 Hair Trends: Hair Colors and Hairstyles
2013 Hair Trends, Hair Colors, and Hairstyles – What’s next?
As beauty enthusiasts in the salon industry, we thought we’d provide you with our predictions on upcoming 2013 hair trends, hairstyles, and hair colors. Enjoy, and stay tuned – we update these hair trends regularly!
2013 Hair Trend #1: Braids with a twist!
We predict an increased demand for beautiful braids- whether it’s simple or intricate, for a wedding or a walk in the park, braids will continue to be a well sought after hairstyle in 2013. Don’t think that every braid has to be perfect; in fact, we think that the idea of the ‘messy braid’ is here to stay!
2013 Hair Trend #2: Pastel Fashion Hair Colors
Be on the lookout for an increased demand in fashion hair colors! This 2013 hair trend is what we would call, “unnatural,” hair colors. We are not just talking a few pieces of bright hair on the ends or face (that’s cool, too!), but look for clients asking for all over fashion colors, especially pastels! The Fashion hair color we predict to be the hottest in 2013 is PURPLE!
2013 Hair Trend #3: Silver/ gray hair!
Lookout! A hair color you’ll see a lot of in 2013 is the one we’ve spent decades in the salon industry trying to cover up – GREY! Whether it’s a shimmery silver color or a matte gray, we think you’ll be surprised to see a sharp increase of young, edgy clients demanding gray! Not to mention your super gray clients may want to opt for this upcoming hair color trend, as it enhances what they already have.
2013 Hair Trend #4: Red Hair Color
This is a style we see continuing into 2013, as being a redhead certainly does turn heads! Look for all types of red hair color demands, as we see many clients asking for fashion reds, copper reds, fiery reds, and maybe a mixture of all three! Overall, we are seeing a return to vintage style and trends of the 1930s, 60s, and more as we further observe 2013 hair trends, colors, and styles.
2013 Hair Trend #5: Vintage Curls and Waves
We said previously a return to vintage hairstyles is on the way, and we meant it! This look is elegant, classic, and is making a strong trend upward. What’s even better? This look can be glammed up for a beautiful wedding hair do or made casual with a headband or scarf! And personally, we’ve been waiting for pin curls to make their comeback!
2013 Hair Trend #6: Bangin’ Bangs!
Maybe your client is more on the conservative side, and isn’t ready to be completely bold in 2013 – and that’s okay, they can still try a new hair trend, like bangs! We think that the demand for bangs, both soft and edgy, will continue to be on the rise. Help your client choose the right bangs for them by taking a look at their facial features – help them decide which of their features they want to enhance, and which they wish to hide!
2013 Hair Trend #7: Short, Edgy Haircuts
While there will still be plenty of ladies growing out their locks to rock those highly sought after beach waves, but we predict a sharp increase in the amount of short hairstyles present in 2013. Whether it’s a hard rocker look like, Miley Cyrus, or a softer Michelle Williams/Ann Hathaway-type look, be prepared to whip out those thinning shears! P.S. Those quiffs aren’t going anywhere!
2013 Hair Trend #8: Sleek, Smooth Long Hair with Deep Side and Middle Parts
While voluptuous curls will no doubt still hold interest, we see another flashback to the late 60s, early 70s upon us! Headbands already made their comeback, of course this long hair trend look was to follow. Think long, sleek, sexy hair paired with a deep side part, middle part, or bangs!
2013 Hair Trend #9: Sandy, Smokey, Mink-like Hair Shades
Ok, doll. We said it before, but we’ll say it again – Vintage hairstyles are in! This isn’t just limited to a haircut, but those soft sandy hair colors are going to be requested in your salon countless times in 2013. Get ready to break out those ashes, and gray and silver concentrate, this is a new hair trend that’ll have your clients looking like natural beauties!
2013 Hair Trend #10: Obviously, Ombré!
Alright, most of us by now know of the popular hair color trend, Ombré. No matter how overdone you feel this look is, we predict it is here to stay in 2013. With so many various options out there for Ombré, this hair trend can still be fun and different!
2013 Hair Trend #11: Pompadours and Quiffs!
This unisex hairstyle will continue to be all the rage in 2013 – men and women alike will be demanding this in your salon’s chair as this is another hairstyle that will be making its comeback. Look for different hair style modifications
2013 Hair Trend #12: Beach Waves/Soft Waves!
Another 2013 hair trend that will remain popular from recent years are those enviable beach waves! This hairstyle works for both short and long hair. Sizes of your wave can vary from large, loose curls to tighter curls for a more polished take on the beach wave trend. In general, we are seeing an increased demand for effortlessly wavy hair, as can be seen in 2013 Hair Trend #5, with a vintage take on soft waves.
Stay tuned for future updates on 2013 Hair Trends!

Glad you enjoyed the dutch braid, Candus. Is that your favorite 2013 hair trend? We’ll be sure to do a follow-up with the dutch braid how to very soon!
LOL I’m lucky, my hairs already auburn!
Perfect, Arianna. You’re naturally ahead of the curve.
wow I LIKE THE RED HAIR
As do we! We are just lucky enough to have such great red hair color from our organic color line.
These are all interesting style trends and I’m already seeing many of them on a daily basis! But, I am curious to see if any of these styles will become overexposed throughout the year. What do you think?
Good question, Julia. I think ombre is definitely one of those repeat trends that we will see a lot of in 2013. However, because ombre can be subtle or vivid maybe we it won’t be overdone after all.
Tell me more about the gray lines of haircolor. I am more interested in a bit of shimmer as opposed to matte.
Is there any way to post a how to on how to decide what kind of bangs will look good on a certain face shape? Also, I would love to see the same thing but for short hair cuts, some people don’t pull it off (in my opinion)
That’s a fantastic idea, Erin! We think decided which bangs to suggest for a client who wants to try a new hair trend is crucial. Stay tuned, we will definitely make a post like that!
How do you get the beach wave look? Is it a special iron or some kind of hair treatment? My hair is long and I’m loving the loose waves.
Beach waves are one of our favorite 2013 hair trends, Kelly! It truly depends on which type of hair you have, if it’s naturally board straight you may have some issues making it wavy without a hot tool; however, if your hair is natural wavy, we have a few products that will maximize your wave retention. Let us know if you’d like their names!
Do you think bangs could work with the beach waves look or does that hairstyle look better without bangs??
We think the beach waves could work with bangs, Vanessa. More than likely, it would look better on those who have long hair and bangs, but of course, there are exceptions. Think Zooey Deschanel for this one – she rocks bangs and waves extremely well!
Are there specific colors you use to enhance grey hair but keep it grey – the colorist that uses your color didn’t seem to know what I meant. Is it possible?
I love the second picture in the beach wave section. Right now I have my hair a bright red soim not sure if I would be able to get that light brown and blonde color. Also is there a certain way to get those waves?
Love all of these. I am a stylist and if you have any questions, ask me!

What’s the name of the the person on the 3rd picture on Hair Trend#7 Short, Edgy Haircut?
Yes, please, which products and what are the steps for the long beach waves? Thank you!
That’s Twiggy – a classic fashion model from England!
It ultimately depends on your hair type, Ela. If you provide us with some details about your hair, we’d be happy to think up some styling tips for you!
That’s not Twiggy! Not sure who it is though..
Just had another look, #6 is Twiggy, sorry!
just a lil curious, can you get the beach waves permenantly rather than as a daily routine? I have lots of large natural body in my hair and it takes a perm quite well most times… also, thinking of going dark with low and highlights in it. I am tired of my natural dirty mouse blonde-caramel hair color… your thoughts?
What is your natural hair color, Jamie? Also, you can achieve permanent beach waves with our perming systems – you just need larger rods!
No problem, Katie. Glad you are loving the hair trends
Have you posted a tutorial on the Dutch braid? I want to copy that exact one in the picture.
Not yet, Christy, but stay tuned!
thank you.
So I learned nothing here except that maybe anything and everything is the in style..wanted a change but I guess ill keep my look of long curly with bangs ..
Thank you for this. It’s always good to be updated on the latest trends.
I love those ombre looks .,can you give me idea on what color should I use for my long straight hair to achieve that ombre looks : -)?
No problem, Sallie – we’re glad you enjoyed them. Stay tuned, our Summer 2013 Hair Trends article is coming out tomorrow!
I´m 40, and with a great deal of grey hair (1/3). Tired of coloring,so, how do I go about the trend?
We would suggest trying out the ombre trend! If you kept it darker at your roots, then you would only have to touch it up with one color when your grey grows in. Let us know if you’d be interested in finding a salon that could do this for you
We sure can, Maricel. What is your natural hair color?
black is my natural hair color, can you give me some ideas? thanks
How about Shay Mitchell’s Ombre hair color? She rocks a nice dark to light: http://pinterest.com/pin/241505598739072116/
How do you get loose beach waves.. my hair always seem to end up in tight curls?
What’s your hair type, Emma? Do you have very straight hair, wavy, curly? Let me know, and I will help you achieve those awesome beach waves
