As the festive season unfolds, it’s time to elevate your hair game for the array of glamorous events that lie ahead. Seeking inspiration to stay at the forefront of hair trends? Look no further than the fashion runways, where striking styles like Kiara Advani’s bubble braids at the Lakmé Fashion Week can provide the perfect complement to your festive ensembles.
We caught up with celebrity hairstylists Amit Thakur and Priyanka Borkar to discover the hottest hair trends of the season, the essential hairstyling products for achieving enduring looks, and much more.
Grazia: Could you share the hairstyling trends that have gained traction this season and how individuals can recreate these looks at home?
Amit Thakur: After two to three months of intensive research with five other panelists, we’ve unveiled the TRESemmé Style Collective, making it easier for you to stay on-trend. Bubble braids, curtain bangs, the sleek bun, and the 90’s blowout are all the rage, and I believe they can be managed and styled effortlessly at home.
Priyanka Borkar: This fashion season, you’ll notice an abundance of the 90s blowout, the sleek bun, the layered lob, bubble braids, curtain bangs, and chic bows and scarves hairstyles. These six trends are here to stay.
G: What advice do you have for those who wish to experiment with trending hairstyles but are concerned about whether the style will suit them?
AT: Start with trends that are versatile and not too drastic, such as the 90’s blowout or the layered lob.
PB: You can align trends with your hair type or face shape. This can provide insights into how the style might look. If you prefer a safe bet, consider timeless trends like the 90’s blowout, a style even featured in the TRESemmé Style Collective.
G: In your view, which trending hairstyles work well with different hair textures, including straight, curly, and wavy?
AT: I’d say a layered lob is a versatile choice. It adds dimension to the face, regardless of your face shape or hair type.
PB: Curtain bangs are an excellent option as they enhance the overall look.
G: Hair accessories are currently in vogue. How can they be seamlessly integrated into a variety of hairstyles?
AT: Hair accessories offer tremendous room for experimentation. The Chic Bows & Scarves trend is versatile and can be effortlessly embraced by anyone. You can also try oversized pins and ornate, stone-studded clips to infuse drama into your look.
PB: The Chic Bows & Scarves trend is a prime example of how one trend can cater to a wide audience. It exudes chicness, comfort, and a unique flair. Massive pins are another favorite, as they complement nearly every hairstyle.
G: Which 90s hair trends have experienced a resurgence in recent years?
AT: The 90’s blowout is the one that’s not only trending but also a part of the six trends featured in the TRESemmé Style Collective. It’s a timeless classic that never goes out of style.
PB: The 90’s blowout is a beloved choice, embraced by many. During the selection process for the TRESemmé Style Collective, we were certain it deserved a spot.
G: Can you share the essential hairstyling products you rely on for achieving long-lasting hairstyles?
AT: TRESemmé’s leave-in serum is my go-to finishing product.
PB: Two standout products for me would be TRESemmé Bond Plex Repair oil, which I use as an overnight treatment serum, and TRESemmé Gloss Ultimate serum for its excellent heat protection as a pre-styler.
