Top Trending Hairstyles To Try This Spring


Hairstyles are the best accessory. When you’re having a good hair day, you feel empowered. It makes you feel ready to take on the world. This spring is about bringing all of the magnetic, chic and sleek, fairytale fantasy, feels back to your hairstyles. The whimsical looks, are both practical and upscale, all at once. It’s important to keep your hair fresh, healthy and shiny. Then apply these hairstyles and cuts to showcase the gorgeous locks. From hairstyles worn on the runway at New York Fashion Week, to celebrities looks on the red carpet, and seen on trendsetters of city streets, these trending hairstyles are being featured and flaunted everywhere! Here are the top trending hairstyles for you to rock this spring:

#1 Mermaid Braid

It’s all about the braids! In particular, the mermaid braid has been making a splash this season. It can be worn multiple ways: one braid itself, the half up – half down braid, a braided headband, or a braided bun. This versatile look for your locks is becoming even more popular. Singer-songwriter Lana Del Rey is a fan of mermaid looks, and actress Blake Lively sports mermaid braids often at events. Altuzarra wanted a sexy mermaid feel for their show, as did designer Thakoon at his fashion show, by having a wet and wavy look. The Thierry Mugler show was all about aquatic vibes, done by hairstylist James Pecis, using gel to smooth the top of the head that features a center part, with waves all around it down to the shoulders. Braids add a fun touch, which complements how we feel in the spring and summer when we are outdoors more. It’s a great hairstyle for travelling, going to the beach or spicing up your office look. If you have a party to attend, this is a playful, while still sophisticated choice. When the weather is getting warmer, this is the perfect look!

Fighting Frizzies with Hair La Vie Moroccan Repair Serum





Does you hair have a mind of its own? My thick, coarse hair can be downright difficult to manage at times and a good hair serum is essential for fighting frizzies while also protecting my hair. Without a good hair serum, the weather and hot styling tools would surely take a toll on my color-treated hair. 


When I was trying different hairstyles over the holidays, I was happy Hair La Vie sent me a sample of their Moroccan Repair Serum to try. It sure made a difference in the look and texture of my hair! The serum made my updo, shown above, very easy to manage and helped fight those nasty frizzies, too! I was surprised when my daughter twisted my hair around an old sock and rolled it up into a bun in less than a minute! I expected to have wisps of frizzy hair sticking out all over the place, but instead my hair looked sleek, smooth and shiny! What do you think?

Celebrities of all ages are experimenting with fun and exciting shades of color.
