2013 Top 5 Hairstyles for Women
A woman’s hairstyle certainly says a lot about her. While a messy bun may convey playfulness, a sleek ponytail is often indicative of professionalism. Listed here are the top 5 trendiest women’s hairstyles for 2013 and the way they can be achieved at home or in a salon:
#5 – Light to Dark Ombre Coloring
The goal of the dark to light ombre coloring style is to provide a sun-kissed glow to the ends of dark hair and is one of the most popular 2013 hair styles. Although it is commonly sought after by brunettes, even women with darker blonde hair can make this style work. To achieve this look, simply apply lightener to the ends of the hair up to the desired level, taper the lighter color gradually the further up it goes. This style works best for medium to long length hair.
#4 – The Bob
The bob is a classic that is not likely to go out of style anytime soon, and it ranks highly on the list of the most popular 2013 hair styles. It works best for women who do not want to take the time to work with medium length or longer hair, and it is also a great choice for women who have thin or fine hair, as it will add needed volume. A bob is generally no longer than chin-length, and it may be sleek or choppy—whichever best suits the woman’s face. It can be paired with fringe, but many women choose to stick with a one-length or stacked bob style that requires very little maintenance.
#3 – The Messy Bun
The messy bun is another one of the 2013 hair styles that is easy for women with longer hair to achieve at home. To do it, simply put hair in a ponytail—either up high or slung low—and then wrap it into a bun before securing with bobby pins or a second ponytail holder. Next, pull tendrils of hair out at the top, bottom and sides to create the messy look. One of the great things about this style is that it can work with or without bangs, and it is not partial to any hair color. Redheads, blondes and brunettes alike can make this style work with ease.
#2 – The Sleek Ponytail
A high sleek ponytail looks elegant and dressy while a low sleek ponytail is a professional business woman’s staple. It is best achieved by women with longer hair. To achieve it, pull the hair into either a high or low ponytail and take the time to ensure that no tendrils escape. Using your favorite hair spray, secure any flyaway strands. Women with bangs should be sure that these are also straightened, shiny and sleek.
#1 – The Layered Look
Women with any hair length can enjoy the layered look. For the 2013 trend, the ends of the layers are styled so that they angle toward the face. A woman with medium length hair might choose to have layers point toward the eyes, cheekbones and jawline in order to draw attention to them. Women with shorter hair may want to create choppy layers that may instead frame only the eyes.
