The new year is coming: what will be the haircut and hair color trends for 2019? In the spotlight we find short haircuts, the real protagonists of the new season. The new short haircuts are casual, feminine, and, in tune with the choice of actresses and VIPs, more and more customizable, enhancing the face shape, avoiding contrasts that are too sharp and marked, following the fall-winter 2018 trends.

We are talking about messy cuts, "sweet cuts" softened by elusive locks and soft lines, with layered and graduated hair. Say no to cuts that are too sharp, and to classic "old-fashioned" short hairstyles without a feminine touch.
Embrace dynamism in short haircuts, play with asymmetries, light volumes, layered bangs that make the cut very easy to manage at home. Here are some inspirations on how to cut short hair!

LAYERED SHORT HAIR
Layered short cuts are the real protagonists of 2019. A well-calibrated layered cut can modulate the volumes, highlighting the face. Layered curly hair is an ideal solution because it allows you to control the natural volume of the hair, while layered short straight hair is a perfect solution for those who want a sculpted look. The layered hairstyles make short hair suitable for every type of face, they give a natural look, so they are a good compromise for a change of look that is not too drastic, for example if you have decided decide to cut your hair short for the first time.

SHORT CUT FOR CURLY HAIR
Curly hair is especially emphasized by the new short cuts. Curls and wavy hair are particularly suited to the new short messy styles, for a casual look, thanks to their volume and the natural movement of curls that the short cut must follow. By playing with volumes and strands of different lengths you can get different effects: from the romantic style with lively curls to more rock and rebellious looks, much loved by the salons of New York.

PIXIE CUT
The short cut that more than any other lends itself to customization is the pixie cut, the real short hair trend for 2019. It is a super short cut, which can be made more feminine by long side bangs and a styling that is rough and textured, emphasizing the single locks with different shades of color.


VERY SHORT GARCONNE CUT
The pixie cut of the moment is soft, it is a very short cut that maintains its unmistakable 60s air and at the same time is elegant: it is a short cut à la garçonne that can generate very different effects depending on the styling: it is perfect if you want to get a different look for every occasion, while keeping the same cut. Not recommended for round faces, it can be combined with a layered fringe; to get the classic French look instead, you will need to control the volumes, using styling products like oil or hair wax.

SHORT BOB
The bob cut for 2019 is short, or extra short: next to the bowl cut for straight hair, the short bob is one of the trends of the moment, thanks to its versatility. It you want a classy, polished bob, wear it short behind your ears with straight hair: this look is enhanced by a platinum blonde. The wavy short bob instead reaches just below the ears. The most trendy short bob is a blunt cut or razor-cut: it has full and even ends, and it is obtained with a sharp scissor cut where the ends are the same length. This hairstyle is suitable for fine hair and no volume, an extremely contemporary look, which is also suitable for medium-length cuts.

LONG BANGS AND LONG FRINGE
The femininity of the new short cuts is enhanced by a long fringe that harmoniously frames the face, or by a long tuft that fits into the rest of the hair without contrasts. The long fringe has the ability to attract attention on the eyes, and its strong point is its versatility: if worn smooth and straightened it will give a refined air, while a messy styling gives high volume to the hair, creating a punk look. The strength of the fringe is greater on short hair, it suits all and has the advantage of being able to highlight selected areas of the face.

HAIR COLOR FOR SHORT HAIR
Hair color plays an important role on short cuts, because it completes the hairstyle and the shape of the hair, accentuating asymmetries and volumes. For example, a solution that creates movement is leaving the roots of the hair darker, and the ends lighter. The shatush, the balayage or the streaks are perfect to emphasize a layered short cut, skillfully creating plays of shades on the hair, and giving vivacity to the hair. On a short cut you can also play with temporary hair coloring and bright tones, to be applied only on some locks.

STYLING PRODUCTS FOR SHORT HAIR
Styling is a fundamental step for short haircuts. Modelling and fixing products can be used to create a variety of looks that make short cuts very versatile. For example, for a special evening, a touch of glamour can be achieved with wet-looking hair, applying some gel on wet hair. The locks can be sculpted with gel, modeling and texturing pastes that structure short hair for fun-to-wear hairstyles.

Hair wax is great to create a more natural effect, and just a small amount is enough to add texture to the hair: it can either have a glossy or an opaque finish, depending on the consistency of the wax. What is the best way to dry short hair? Some help comes from the modelling hair mousse, fundamental to create long-lasting hairstyles. For short and defined curly hair, a curly hair foam eliminates the frizz and protects from heat and moisture.
