These Are Set To Be 2016’s Hottest Hair Trends, Says Kardashian Stylist Jen Atkins

The cut

Last year was all about the lob, a slightly grown out bob-length that was made popular when Kim K went for the chop in early 2015. This year it’s been given a bit of an update, with Jen predicting the lob will be given added length. We’ll be seeing “either blunt, cleavage-length hair – or a softer, sexier version of a shag. It’s very flattering easy to style and cool,” she told Cosmopolitan.

The colour

It’s buh-bye balayage in 2016, with much softer ombre hues making a revival in the coming months. For the more daring, Jen predicts that bold “sand art-inspired styles will be huge.” Think bright, multi-tonal, rainbow hues.

The style

Heat styling is out, babes. “Women are moving away from the same signature look 24/7,” says Jen. “They know that heat-styling causes damage, so they turn to YouTube and Instagram for second- and third-day inspiration, like crazy-cool braids or sleeping in a high ponytail for beachy waves. It’s all about mixing it up to maintain healthy hair.”
