The Lob. The Pixie. Pink hair. Crimped hair. Trends come and go as quickly as a New York minute. But not before most of us wonder: Should I or shouldn’t I? How do you decipher the right from the wrong, the good from the bad, the flattering from the disastrous? Patrick Melville Salon colorist Alexandra Matiz makes her case for embracing trends without being a slave to them:
I love trends for the inspirational value they add to the beauty industry. It’s a call to continually reinvent yourself and stay on the cutting-edge of style. I encourage my clients to switch things up regularly — it doesn’t have to be anything crazy, just a small shift can be so uplifting.
Trends are just guidelines, not set in stone. You can — and should — interpret them and make them your own. But first you need to understand the difference between “trend” and “fashion.” A trend is the forecast of the fashion or beauty to come in six months or a year. This version is usually softer and more consumer-friendly. They key is to choose a trend that will suit your face shape, coloring, personality and lifestyle. This is where your stylist comes in. He or she can ensure that a trend is right for you, and makes you look your best. Hair is our greatest accessory. Without change you’ll get bored, so have fun with it!
