With TikTok hair tutorials going viral on nearly every social media platform, 2023 is a year for hairstylists to experiment with our hair.
From the overhyped hair colouring by Youtubers like Brand Mondo to going for the chop as influenced by celebrities like Lupita Nyong’o, there is so much you can do with your hair.
So here are the top hair trends for 2023 that will make you book an appointment with your hairdresser.
-
Natural Hairstyles
As people accept and celebrate natural hair, this hairstyle will continue trending for a couple of years. Especially with social media making it easy for people to share the do’s and don’ts of taking care of natural hairstyles.
Most often, natural hairstyles are perfect for anyone who wants to let their hair thrive without using chemicals or heat to alter its texture or length.
For instance, you can rock twist-outs, braid-outs, Bantu knots, high puffs, and afros.
-
Short Haircuts
Whether rocking a pixie cut, a layered bob, the Rachel Cut, the Blunt Bob, or an asymmetrical crop, a short haircut is the ultimate statement of confidence.
It is very low maintenance and practical for busy lifestyles.
You can also customize short haircuts with bright and bold colours to suit your personal style and hair type, like Uptown Blonde, electric blues, neon greens, and hot pinks.
Additionally, you can opt for some ombré and balayage to create a more natural-looking colour transition.

Braids and Twists
Braids and twists are a hairstyle that tells the world that you love standing out from the crowd.
While these styles have long been popular in the African community as a protective hairstyle, they are now beloved by people of all backgrounds who want to add some flair to their locks.
However, it may not last as long on finer hair types as it does on coarse hair.
But you can still represent your unique style and personality using one of these braids and twists styles shown in the table below.
| Hairstyle | Brief Description |
| Long Black Twists | Involves twisting two sections of hair together to create a long rope-like effect. You can add more hair extensions of different lengths and colours for colour and thickness. |
| Mélange Graduated Twists | Just like Long Black Twists, but with a melange colour to add depth and dimension to the hair. |
| Box Braids | It involves sectioning hair into small square-shaped sections and then braiding them with hair extensions. |
| Cornrows | It involves braiding your hair with extensions or just in its natural state in a continuous raised row. These are versatile, as you can use different patterns depending on your taste. |

Sleek and Straight Hair
It is a timeless appearance that has been around for a very long time and is still favoured by many people.
For a polished, and stylish appearance, use flat irons, blow dryers, relaxers, or other straightening products to achieve sleek, straight hair.
Additionally, wearing your hair in its natural state will make your friends green with envy if it is extremely long and not curly.
However, if you’re up for the challenge, you can add just the right amount of hair gel to tame flyaways and create a super sleek, slicked-back look.
Additionally, you can wear your hair in flirty curtain bangs, an easy-chic twisted bun, or a waterfall ponytail for a summertime outing or a candlelit dinner with a special someone.
