Who says new season, says change of mind. This spring, trends placed under the sign of fantasy, even a certain eccentricity, will be on the agenda. No offense to the brunettes, the platinum blond will be there, just like the bangs which will be essential in a micro version which will leave no one indifferent. To your scissors!
Despite freezing temperatures, the return of the sun suggests that spring will not take long to show up. And like every year, it’s time to take a look at the hair trends that will gradually settle in the hearts of women – and these gentlemen – until the start of the next school year. After having experimented with a thousand and one hairstyles inspired by the animal world, even tried the ‘bedhead hair’ (the hair in battle, in French), or adopted the ‘chopped bob’ of Jenna Ortega, make way for a lighter look, even more extravagant , for the spring-summer season. A single watchword, audacity, which rekindles the flame for platinum blond and micro-bangs, while the wiser will be convinced by the clavi-cut, between classicism and nostalgia for decades past.
Revenge of a Blonde
Who said the blond’s reign was coming to an end? All the lights seemed to be green at the start of 2022 to make brown the new color trend, but it didn’t take long for blonde to regain ground. Summer shade par excellence, it has gradually returned to center stage with the ‘Monroecore’ trend to finally impose itself – again and again – as the color of the year 2023. After Kim Kardashian in 2022, Bella Hadid, Shania Twain, or even Isabelle Adjani are among the celebrities who have – occasionally – gone blonde in recent months. A trend that is only in its infancy if we consider that the release of the documentary “Pamela, a love story” on Netflix, which returns directly to the personal life and career of Pamela Anderson, contributes strongly to hoist the platinum blonde – or discolored – at the top of the hair trends of the year.
According to data presented by Price Listsearch interest in the terms ‘bleached blonde hair dye’ jumped 244% on Google worldwide in the week the documentary aired on Netflix. clearly enough, searches associated with the term ‘hairstyle by Pamela Anderson’ skyrocketed by around +525% following its release. hashtag #pamelaandersonhair. We will therefore have to reckon with the platinum blonde from the spring, and expect a real craze for the style – fashion and beauty – of the star of the series “Alert to Malibu”.
Fringe mini and clavi-cut version
After bringing the ‘Birkin bangs’ up to date, understanding the bangs of the famous actress and singer Jane Birkin, users of social networks no longer seem to swear by the micro-bangs (micro bang or baby bang, in English) . In its 2023 predictions, unveiled last December, Pinterest was already counting on a renewed interest in (very) short, and reported a 110% increase in searches related to the micro-fringe. And the success is confirmed here again on TikTok with no less than a million views for the hashtag #microbang, and already more than 100 million for #babybangs. A runaway that is reminiscent of the fact that the American rapper Doja Cat herself has already succumbed to the trend for a few months. A look that has already proven itself, and its small effect.
Those who do not intend to succumb to such a radical change may be tempted by the ‘clavi-cut’, a capillary trend on the way to dethroning the essential square. Contraction of the words ‘clavicle’ and ‘cut’, the term simply designates a haircut that stops at the level of the… collarbone. It is more exactly a (very) long square – it will therefore not disappear completely – which adapts to all face shapes, all hair textures, and can be worn in a thousand and one ways: smooth , wavy, with or without (micro) bangs, with a parting in the middle or on the side… Enough to satisfy the greatest number.
