Our expert stylists are always ahead of the curve, and we're here to share what's hot and what's not in the hair world this year. Let’s dive in and discover the hair trends that will have you turning heads in 2024!

What's Hot in 2024

1. Blunt Bobs and Lobs

The bob is back and bolder than ever! This year, it’s all about sharp, clean lines.

- Tips: Go for a chin-length bob with straight edges for a sleek, modern vibe. This cut looks fabulous on both straight and slightly wavy hair. Talk about a chic transformation!

2. Playful Pixies

Pixie cuts are stealing the spotlight with added texture and volume, perfect for a fun, dynamic look.

- Tips: Choppy layers and a texturizing spray will give you that extra oomph. It’s ideal for fine hair, adding a playful bounce to your style.

3. Rich, Warm Hair Colors

Say hello to luscious brunettes, fiery auburns, and golden blondes. Warm tones are taking over!

- Tips: Work with your Kimage colorist to find the perfect shade for your skin tone. Regular gloss treatments will keep your colour vibrant and oh-so-shiny.

4. Curtain Bangs

Curtain bangs are still a hit, framing your face beautifully and adding a touch of effortless cool.

- Tips: These bangs blend seamlessly with longer layers, perfect for a soft, face-framing effect without the full commitment of a fringe.

5. Textured Layers

Layers are getting a major upgrade with more texture and definition, adding movement and volume.

- Tips: Long, feathered layers create dimension and fullness, whether your hair is straight or curly. It's all about that natural, voluminous flow.

6. Hair Accessories

Oversized scrunchies, embellished clips, and headbands are your new best friends.

- Tips: Use these fun accessories to jazz up simple hairstyles. They add instant glam and personality to your look, perfect for any occasion.

What's Not in 2024

1. Overly Bleached Hair

Move over, platinum blonde. The trend is shifting towards more natural, healthy-looking hair. Over-bleached hair can often appear damaged and lacklustre, which is why subtle highlights and lowlights are becoming the go-to. These techniques not only enhance your natural colour but also add depth and dimension without compromising hair health. Think more about embracing your natural beauty with a little enhancement rather than a complete overhaul.

2. Perfectly Polished Styles

Say goodbye to the era of overly sleek, polished hairstyles. In 2024, the beauty is in the imperfections. Loose waves and tousled, effortless hair are taking centre stage. These styles give off a relaxed, easy-going vibe that's both chic and approachable. The "just rolled out of bed" look is in, but with a touch of finesse. It’s all about looking naturally stunning with minimal effort. Products like sea salt sprays and texturizing mists will be your best friends in achieving these effortlessly undone styles.

3. Single-Length Haircuts

One-length haircuts are making way for more dynamic, layered styles. Uniform cuts can often look flat and lifeless, whereas layered and textured styles add much-needed movement and volume. Layers can also help frame your face and bring out your best features. Whether your hair is straight, wavy, or curly, adding layers can enhance its natural texture and make it look more vibrant and full of life. It’s a simple change that can make a huge difference in your overall look.

4. Chunky Highlights

Chunky, contrasting highlights are being replaced by soft, blended alternatives. The aim is to achieve a natural, sun-kissed look that seamlessly integrates with your base colour. Chunky highlights can often look outdated and harsh, whereas soft balayage and subtle highlights create a more modern and sophisticated appearance. This technique allows for a more gradual transition between colours, giving your hair a beautiful, multidimensional effect. It’s all about enhancing your natural beauty with a touch of subtlety.
