The biggest hair trends of 2019—including big hair.

Follow along as we track the 10 biggest hair trends of 2019, from the runways to the red carpet.

Blue Period
Kylie Jenner kicked off 2019 by dyeing her platinum blonde hair a powdery blue shade. Since the beauty mogul spawns trends almost every day of her life, we're predicting that this particular shade of blue hair will be seen all over Instagram in the coming weeks.3

Little Black Bow
If you buy one hair accessory this year, make it a velvet hair bow. From the royals to the red carpet, hair bows are having a moment. The best part is you don't have to spend a lot to get in on the trend—and wearing one is as simple as tying it around a ponytail or snapping a bowed barrette into a pulled-back style. Any color will work just fine, but classic black makes the accessory a little less saccharine.5
Scalp Health

You'll notice more scalp-care products than ever before on the shelves of your local Sephora, Ulta, and drugstore this year. Brands like Ouai, Dry Bar, Living Proof, and Kristin Ess Haircare are all releasing masks, scrubs, and moisturizers, and micellar cleansing waters designed specifically to soothe, gently cleanse, and hydrate your scalp.

More is More
Wearing one hair accessory is great. Wearing three is better. But this year, you're not on trend unless you're wearing every glittery, sparkly, and ornate hair bauble you own—all at once.7

Blunt Bob
The '90s beauty resurgence isn't going anywhere in 2019. Case in point: blunt bobs are the haircut everyone will be wearing come spring. We love this super-sleek version supermodel Irina Shayk just wore to the 2019 Golden Globes, courtesy of hairstylist Harry Josh.9

Hair Statement
This year is bringing a new meaning to the phrase hair statement. Designer Ashley Williams has been making statement pins with phrases like "Sex," "Girls," and "Ugly," for years, but the trend really took off when celebrity hairstylist Justine Marjan released her own version with Kitsch in late 2018. NYC-based hair accessory brand Lelet NY even made a custom "Thank U, Next" pin for a certain celebrity. You can expect to see sparkly, statement-making pins in every phrase imaginable this year.
