Are you in a beauty rut? Change up your look this spring with a new haircut or a different hair color. Check out the latest hairstyle trends - from platinum blonde bobs to radiant red locks.
Blonde texturized bob

Spring hair cuts

This spring, the bob will remain popular but it won't be as harsh as in seasons gone by. Instead of a blunt bob, ask your stylist to add some choppy layers to your bob to give it that texturized look.

For curly or wavy hair, go short this spring in a messy, beachy style. Apply mouse throughout your hair and let air-dry. When almost dry, rub a little pomade to the top and pull upward to create a messy look.

Beautiful redheadLong hair is definitely in. Don't iron your hair straight this season, instead just let it dry naturally and go with the flow of any waves that you have. Haircuts that are below shoulder length with a center part continue to be trendy.

Spring hair color

Go blonde! This spring and summer look for blondes to get even blonder. If you dare, go platinum! Blonde hair looks great in short, choppy hairdo's. If you don't have the nerve, add thin blonde highlights around your face frame to lighten up your look.

Red is definitely fresh for springtime as well. All shades of red from strawberry blonde to deep auburn are hot choices. If red feels a little risky for you, try it out with a temporary hair color first before taking the plunge.

If you want to stick with your brunette locks, go for warm browns and reddish-browns, rather than ash. Don't weight your hair down or dull the color with a lot of hair products. Instead, use a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner, along with a dab of hair serum to bring out the radiant shine.

Leather ponytail holder

Spring hair accessories

Hair accessories are trendy and functional for springtime. They will pull your hair away from your face to keep you cool, plus they look cute too! Try these spring hair accessories.
  • Headbands - Hippie-chic headbands offer a retro look with a modern appeal. Look for braided headbands in funky colors and bold prints. Thin satin or patent leather headbands embellished with crystals are also popular.
  • Ponytail holders - Toss your scrunchies aside and invest in some real ponytail holders in leather. Di Manno Designs is one of the many companies that makes ponytail holders in exotic skins, patent leather and smooth leather. They come in array of colors and sizes.
  • Floral barrettes - Look for hair clips and barrettes with a spring theme. Floral barrettes adorned with crystals and colorful stones will dress up your hair perfectly for the season.
