Summer is slowly coming to an end but before we say goodbye let’s talk all about hair trends and products.

It’s no secret that sleek straight hair has been the beauty standard for the past decade. But what about curly hair? As a natural curly hair girlie myself, I never let my natural curls out. The truth is with so many hot tools and products promoting straight hair it’s no surprise why women like myself have been hiding their curls.

According to Spate, the largest hair concern by volume is curly hair, with 5.5M average monthly searches.

A recent report by Allied Market Research forecasts that the worldwide curl-product market, valued at nearly $10 million in 2021, will grow 60% by 2031, reaching $15.7 million.

Below you can find some of summers hottest hair trends and the newest launches focusing on textured & curly hair health to daring chunky highlights.

CURLY HAIR HEALTH

- Moroccanoil Curl Collection defines curls while intensely hydrating and moisturizing.

- *FUNCTIONAL COLOR TREND*: Lived-In Curlyage - For all the curly girls that crave extra dimension. This high impact technique enhances the curl pattern, providing pops of color and added texture which defines the voluminous shape of curly hair giving a sun kissed ‘I just got back from a beach vacation’ vibe.

CALICO HAIR

“Calico hair, similar to that of a Calico cat is the rare combination of 3 tones: blonde, brunette and red. The trend of Calico hair really goes hand-in-hand with the resurgence of early 2000’s fashion and hair color. If you notice how trends emerge, we began late last year to see the return of the big 90s blowout, followed by chunky 2000’s highlights, and now moving into the more emo era of 2002-2006.” – Redken Ambassador, Adrienne Dara

GET THE LOOK: “It is all about color blocking. The key to success here is ensuring that your sectioning prior to the color service is precise. You will need three key colors to achieve the perfect Calico and consistent Shades EQ glosses to keep your hair refreshed. The blonde tone can be either cool or warm, the brunette tone can be light or dark and the red can be copper or bold cherry.”

FLIPPED HAIR

“The flipped ends style began in the 1960s and dominated as the ‘It Girl’ look. Innovators of this look were Jackie O, Marlo Thomas and Goldie Hawn –and of course, Farrah Faucet.” – Redken Ambassador, Adrienne Dara

GET THE LOOK: For those who may struggle with styling their hair, Adrienne recommends velcro rollers. “These are user-friendly and the styling time is extremely minimal. For those who are more advanced, I would recommend using a heated tool, such as a curling iron or a flat iron. Either of these are great for securing the style and locking it in.”

Redken Acidic Bonding Curls
