And is not winter the best excuse of reinvention? Once the days grow darker and colder, our hair seems the simplest tool at making things brighter. To which end should we be bold with our winter hair color, have a fringe, or be simple with a sleek volume? The season is full of new concepts – there are glossy short bob cuts, and romantic waves with curtain bangs. And, frankly speaking, I am a great fan of the notion to treat a hairstyle like a warm-up accessory: something, that frames the face and warms the entire environment.
Whether you are dreaming of a radical shift or a slight modification, these winter hair cuts and colors are the types of styles that leave you desiring to make that appointment to the salon rather than keep postponing it. Let’s dive in.
Chic Blonde Bob With Side Part
A short bob cut off with precision and left to have a natural curve is something that is timeless. It is a winter-time snowy high version – bright icy blonde tones in the cold make an impact. The side section is softening and puts the face into a flattering perspective and makes it appear like it was effortless yet still polished, which is my favorite all-time style.
Maintaining a platinum tone in January may not be easy however. I tend to suggest purple shampoo every week to cancel brassiness – Bright Blonde Shampoo by Oribe is an excellent option in case you feel like spending money. Water is important, as well, because the cold wind and heating systems might dry the strands in a short period of time.
In my case, the attractive aspect here is that of balance: not too dressy to go to work or a night out, yet not so dressed to be a strutting thing. Celebrity hairstylist Gregory Patterson tends to claim that a good bob is the ultimate power haircut – and I would certainly agree.
Playful Double Buns With Bangs
This one is one I smile each time I pass by it. Adorable, young, and exactly what the person with his hair desires to feel during the winter because it is not serious enough. The double buns and straight-across bangs turn this into a modern experience of medium length hair that can still be moved around. It is a bit eccentric and comfortable to wear – of course, when you belong to people who prefer their style to be distinctive without any attempt to impress.
On the side of styling, you are well off with a strong-hold hairspray. I would secure the buns with a product such as L’Oreal Elnett Satin Spray to ensure that they do not move but at the same time remain loose. During dry, staticaless weather, bangs may be a pain, and a small drop of smoothing serum will ensure that they do not fly away.
Personally, I like these types of hairstyles in winter when it is long and grey. It puts some fun in the daily. Would you not allow yourself to play?
Glossy Cherry Red Waves
The only color that can always find its time during winter is the rich, deep, dimensional reds and this glossy red cherry is drama all the way. Combined with relaxed waves, it forms an amazing figure, which glamours under any type of light. This winter hair color is perfect on all those who are thinking about a radical change since it displays the vibrancy and texture well when combined with a medium length cut.
It is all about keeping it rich with color-safe care. The product that has been a savior when I feel like going red is the Redken Color Extend Magnetics, as it prevents the fading process and it fixes that mirror-like gloss.
As an individual, red colour is so empowering during cold seasons. They make them feel brave, as though the confidence were built right in because all the other stuff is covered by scarves and coats. Stylist Tracey Cunningham has frequently stated that red hair is the loudest piece of clothing in the room and I believe she is completely correct.
French-Inspired Short Bob With Micro Bangs
The Parisian flair with this light-layered short bob and micro bangs that are blunt is charming. It is vintage yet modern, soft yet tough – just the type of contrast that I adore in winter cuts and color. Its brown color makes it down to earth and diverse, and the second ingredient, the cut, is personality enhancing.
Regular trims are best suited to short cuts such as these. I would also put in a smattering of styling cream to add some texture and keep it appearing intentional rather than fluffy – Bumble and bumble Styling Cream is a regular.
I always get the impression that this type of haircut belongs to a person who is willing to say I am here. It is very daring, yet very refined. In a winter wardrobe with lots of coats and scarfs, this hair cut ensures that your face is not lost.
Romantic Layers With Curtain Bangs
Cascading waves including soft curtain bangs are nothing more feminine and winter-ready than that. It is a medium length haircut winter color moment, that is, it is a warm golden color very suitable to brighten the darkest days. The layers are creating motion, and the bangs used as face-framing suit just about every single shape.
Care tip? I would recommend a round brush and a blow dryer to create volume on the root of the hair and then carry on using a curling iron only on the ends to keep the natural bounce. A shine spray such as Moroccanoil Glimmer Shine gives that holiday glitter.
In my case, curtain bangs are a simple upgrade – they transform the atmosphere, yet they give the feeling of having a fringe without having to maintain it. The winter may be heavy but this gaze makes things light-hearted and cheerful.
Glossy Chocolate Waves
That is why rich brunette shades never get out of fashion. These waves of glossy chocolate are the epitome of low-key sophistication, during the colder seasons in particular. The smooth feel and gentle movement demonstrates how such a deep brown can be as dimensional as an airy one. This is my ideal everyday fashion that does not feel any less than dressed up.
Whenever I have put on dark shades of brunette myself, I always pay attention to the shine. An oily treatment such as Moroccanoil Treatment is important to maintain the richness even in the middle of winter dryness. In addition, a silk pillowcase performs miracles to make the wave pattern smooth overnight.
There is a certain confidence in this shade. Celeb colorist Rita Hazan has been quoted countless times claiming that brunettes own the room in a non-obtrusive manner, and this appearance fully supports her argument.
Soft Pixie With Texture
A pixie cut is coming back hard in winter, but it is a softer and more friendly version. The multi-layered texture gives it movement and renders the shape feminine and bold at the same time. This type of brown looking short bob hair cuts is such a liberation to everyone who desires to abandon long maintenance-intensive styles.
This type of short style does need frequent trims, but it is surprisingly fashionable as far as styling. There is a matte paste such as Aveda Control Paste that provides adequate definition without appearing stiff. During winter I tend to put a light conditioner on leave-in under to prevent any statical.
