8X #NEWHAIRDONTCARE

With these small changes, your hairstyle is as good as new

Somehow, something is going on. Boring hair. At least, that's how it is in our editorial office. Because where we used to worry during the compliment quarter for your neighbor, that quarter has been multiplying rapidly in recent weeks and we are far from satisfied with our hairstyle à la 2016. We want something new. May is texting (including selfies) back and forth with Leco. And I too am sitting, or actually was sitting (GUYS, I CUT A BANG!!) on the whiny chair. After saving the Instagram accounts of Julie Sariñana and Alexa Chung completely on my iPhone, it was time. I thought: I am going to call the hairdresser NOW and a day later I said goodbye to my long locks in the chair at Rob Peetoom. Sounds dramatic, but it wasn't. Guys, I feel completely #newhairnewme again. And that feels wonderful. So today I’m giving you eight super simple tricks (with and without scissors) that will totally upgrade your hair in one go.

The bangs

Yes, let's start with that. The bang is back from being gone. From a French, also known as curtain-like bang (GUYS, I CUT A FRENCH BANG!!), to the straight bang for real. But like this. A new look in 5 minutes. And in this case, the rule is: when in doubt, do it.

Toner

No desire to dye your hair for whatever reason? Then toner is the perfect solution to transform boring hair into a warm or just natural shade. And also not entirely unimportant: it’s much healthier for those long locks of yours.

Strobing

Strob what? The latest trend in hair dyeing methods. It’s actually the successor to balayage. Borrowed from makeup – where certain parts of the face are highlighted – strobing hair can best be described as highlighting and lowlighting strands, allowing you to frame the face and make it appear slimmer. Slimmer, indeed. I’m always up for that. How about you?

Score points

Not very exciting, but by saying goodbye to split ends, you easily create a healthy and shiny effect over your head. And really, that shine works wonders. Bet the compliments will come flying your way?

Tie your crazy

Go for accessories in the coolest way. Ribbons and scarves are totally hot in fashion land. So also in your hair.

Hat off

Boring head? Bad hair day? Or just not in the mood? Go for a cap. Not only does it look super cute, it also keeps your ears nice and warm during a winter bike ride through the canals.

Dry shampoo

If it’s up to our Marion, this is the way to get sexiness in your hair. I say: spray away!

Roll it up

Do you have long hair and is the thought of cutting a bob haunting you? I’ve found the perfect solution for you. No doubts and definitely no cutting. Just fake that bob. And like this.
