Bangs like these are intense and are sure to give you that edgy look you’ve been looking for.  Emma Stone’s giving us some bob goals for 2016, eh? If you intend to have a versatile style that can be maintained without much of a hassle, this is your best bet!

The shaggy, choppy hair will be the in-thing this 2016, says John Barrett stylist Dhiran Mistry. Ask your ‘artiste’ to make sure that he allows a lot of movement and gives you choppier ends for this “I woke up looking like this” air! #Fashionforward!

4. Dutch braids

The perfect hairdo for someone you wants to keep their hair off their faces! But that’s not it! This coiffure is also ah-mazing!!!

5. Under-cut hair with glam curls

This is timeless! There are three specific ways you can accentuate and call attention to this otherwise conventional look.

• Attach the larger curlers to fluttery locks, to enhance them
• Twist using a flat iron
• Use a curling iron for the a la afro curls!

6. Ombre

Dip-dye your sombre hair with ombre to bring out the best in you! Try a mermaid ombre or a bronze vixen ombre this year. Soft caramel dream isn’t a bad option either! 😉

7. Curly, piecey bob

Ask your stylist to give you a blunt angle. The wedge cut should be stacked at the back but connected to the front. The piecey tendrils will make all the difference! You can ask him or her to give you different lengths for a hipper look.

8. Trapezoid afro

Tapered at the bottom, this coif will have more volume at the top. The final shape is that of a diamond. Want to get your hands on it already?!

9. Deep part

Emilia Clarke stunned everyone with this ultra-glam look! For a high-impact yet low-maintenance look, this is your baby!

10. Petite-coif

Called the cut of the year by many, the petite coif will frame your face with its varying lengths at the top, around the ears and also at the nape! Cue: Mia Farrow from Rosemary’s baby! 😉

11. Slicked back hair

Shoulder length hair is a blessing. Firstly, it is a trend in itself. And secondly, every Dernier cri works well with it! This is a staple look. However, Richie has upped the game by pixie-ing it!

12. Curly afro with bangs

This is a very dry cut with textured layers for volume. The layers will help you contour your face, which is such a godsend, right?! Hydration is key to this coif. So make sure you prevent it from getting frizzy and seal in the moisture so that your curls remain sharp.

A makeover is just a cut away. So, when should I book an appointment at the studio? 😉
