The damsel in distress was always a bit of an eye roll. You don’t need anyone to save you—you have everything you need to survive and even thrive. Hell, with the right hair, you could even rule the world (or your household, in the meantime). Winter’s biggest hair trends are proof that the right cut or color is a true power move.
For the no nonsense, a low-maintenance cut like a sharp collarbone lob or a style with no fussy layers frees up your time and hands to plot world domination. For those who don’t even break a sweat in the face of danger, a bare-it-all pixie with polish. And for the more free-spirited folks, a bouncy, curly disco shag will rule any dance floor—even if the dance floor is in your living room. (It is winter, after all.)
Winter color trends will also keep everyone around you on their toes. Black cherry and a deep dark inky brown look black at first glance, but reveal violet or chocolate tones for those who dare to get close enough. Chestnut red is an ingenue all grown-up—matured past apricots and strawberry blonde into something more capable and authoritative. And blondes will find a path that diverges—wintery vanilla for an aloof, icy look or buttery almond for a cozy blonde that still turns heads.
A new year is the perfect time to step into your power, and your hair can help. Below, we had the experts break down the cuts and colors that exude your confidence.
