Top 100 Hair Trends in 2015

From Gold Leaf Hairstyles to Tropical Hair Remedies

— January 31, 2016 — Fashion
While there's plenty of whimsicality to the 2015 hair trends, innovative products released within the last year show that today's consumers are serious when it comes to hair care and grooming.

Some of the most outrageous styles include the use of glitter to cover up unsightly roots, strands of hair that resemble rainbows and even haircuts and colors that resemble pineapples.

In order to permit such fun play with hair, consumers are investing in nourishing hair treatments that include healing natural ingredients. Some of the most inventive hair care products are also taking the form of hybrids, such as bi-phase beauty products, hairbrush hair straighteners, as well as hair sprays that help to speed up the blow-drying process.

Trend Hunter's 2016 Trend Report reveals a variety of emerging cosmetic, beauty and fashion trends set to take hold in the year ahead and beyond.
