Our Favourite 2023 Hair Trends

2023 will be jam packed with new hair trends as well as upgrades of oldie favourites. From hair colours, to cuts, and all the way back to hair styles, our South Ottawa hair stylists are breaking down the trends we expect to see this year for you and why we hope they stay around.

2023 HAIR COLOUR TRENDS

BRONDE

Bronde is a fusion of blonde and brown hair to create a gorgeous, natural, sun-kissed tone. We love a bronde moment for anyone looking for something soft, neutral and low maintenance. 

EXPENSIVE BRUNETTE

Platinum blonde has had its moment (actually, is always having a moment!) but it’s time for brunettes to step in! Expensive brunette is rich, dimensional, and silky smooth. There is a brunette out there for everyone so if you’ve ever considered going darker with your hair, now’s the time to do it! 

LIVED IN BLONDE 

Instead of going for a full-blown blonding session, we love soft face framing blonde pieces for a gorgeous, natural look. It is super low maintenance and will still be getting you compliments long after you have it done! 

HIGH CONTRAST

We love the colour blocking trends we’ve been seeing everywhere this year as they make a statement! The chunky highlight also seems to be making a comeback and we can’t get enough of the contrast. If you like changing things up and are adventurous with your hair, high contrast colours are where it’s at this year!

COPPER

Bright, shiny copper hair will pop up everywhere in 2023! If you’ve never tried rocking ginger, a soft copper is an easy, safe place to start.  If you’re looking for a South Ottawa hair salon to take care of your colour, Beauty on Bank is the place to try!

2023 HAIR CUT TRENDS

90’s LAYERS

Think “The Rachel” haircut from Friends; long, wispy layers frame the face beautifully. This haircut looks incredible with a great blow out and we love the 90’s comeback. 

WISPY FRINGE 

The bang is back! And we are loving how a wispy fringe frames the face. These bangs are super easy to style and look great on many hair textures. 

MODERN SHAG

Mullet-esque shaggy cuts were all the rage in 2022 and should continue this year! The modern shag looks incredible on different lengths and textures of hair and the retro style is iconic. 

BOB

Bobs are always in style, and we’ll see them evolve this year! The sleek ‘n chic Bob is back and better than ever and we are also loving a wispy, blown out bob!

2023 HAIR STYLE TRENDS

BLOWOUT 

Think Cindy Crawford voluminous, bouncy hair that lasts for days. Your South Ottawa hair stylist team is obsessed with the movement created with a well executed blow out and think it is the perfect way to create a sort of undone polished look. 

NATURAL TEXTURE 

We’ve noticed a huge trend of people embracing their natural texture and we love it so much! Whether your hair has a little bit of wave or full-blown ringlets, try rocking it natural and encouraging the natural texture! 

90’s BRAIDS 

We love the bohemian feel throwing a few braids in loose to frame your face for a fun festival look. 

PIGTAILS/SPACE BUNS

Pigtails and topknots truly never go out of style, but we’re loving the variation of buns, half up half downs, braids, and everything in between! We love this style because you can make it as fun or formal as you want and wear it to any occasion as something a little different!

Trends in fashion and beauty go through cycles, and 2023 seems to be the year of 70’s-90’s inspired ‘do’s!
