As clothing became less intricate and more polished, hair trends of 2013 showed more elaborate, eccentric styles to provide balance to the overall aesthetic of the past year's fashionista.
Coifs became a true means of expression this year, with everything from animal-printed tresses to frizzed-out locks dominating the runway. Few of the standard preppy, polished ponytails of catwalk's past were observed; instead, they were replaced by dark, hard-lined, borderline-Gothic styles.
Off the runway, the DIY hair tutorial wave of 2012 raged on in 2013, except with more of a focus on customization than frugality. Burgeoning beauty enthusiasts experimented with at-home haircuts, net-like intricate styles, hair-made flower crowns and mermaid waves as far as the eye could see.
