After being rather neglected, except for blonde streaks that sometimes work and sometimes do not (!), black hair is getting lots of new, trendy color ideas this year.  This deep plum shade adds lots of extra class to a fashionable angled bob on thick hair.

Coffee-brown hair doesn’t have any natural golden or red undertones to soften it and it can look harsh sometimes.  However, adding a hint of red creates a more attractive and flattering colour.  This layered haircut has a natural finish with tousled texture and lightly textured tips.

There are lots of edgy, mid-length hairstyles around this season and this layered cut, with muted red ombré and textured tips, is a great example!  The smooth, black top has a side parting and extra-long diagonal fringe.  In contrast, the lower lengths are heavily graduated and tousled for a super-cool, messy finish.

The long, casual layered haircut has a subtle color contrast between the medium-brown mahogany shade and the subtle ombré. Warm tones frame the model’s face and a couple of relaxed, defined waves add texture.   The ombré is a couple of tones darker with a trendy touch of ash-brown.

This is a fabulous special occasion hairstyle for long, thick hair.  Dark-brown hair has been treated with a subtle red tint creating texture in the barrel waves.  Teasing adds an extra touch of sophistication at the crown and in the appealing side-swept bangs in a softly draped wave accentuating the eyes and mouth.

The style is never brushed through, but raked with the fingers to keep the ‘undone’ style, and the tips are textured to give a spiky finish at the ends!

This is a high-maintenance beauty image, including false eye-lashes and false nails.  It certainly shows how far the black leather jacket has come, since its early days as biker gear!  This model’s thick, hair has been expertly tinted burgundy, including lighter fuchsia pink and black tulip burgundy, creating a fabulous, film-star look!

Dark coffee and black hair can start showing white and grey hairs far too early in your life!  But with today’s fashionable highlighting, you can turn that to your advantage by getting soft beige-blonde highlights.  Beige is a very appealing and fairly neutral shade, so you’ll still have a natural look.

Make sure your hair color matches your tattoos

Deep red looks great on healthy, straight hair cut in an easy-care young style with long layering and textured tips.  These days, it’s a good idea to consider how a new hair color will look against your body tattoos. The red and pink tones on this model’s arm are nicely complemented by the dark red hair color.

Balance a square face shape

This front view of long hair with layers and textured tips has an off-centre parting neatly cutting-off the edges of a square forehead, creating an oval frame.  Shorter side layers drape over the square jawline concealing the angles. Finally, sleek sides with long hair are the perfect way to add ‘length’ and reduce ‘width’ to flatter a square face shape!

Red velvet luxury look

There’s something about deep red that always suggest luxury. And this special occasion hairstyle with beautifully curled, long ringlets is a super-feminine and sophisticated look.  When you change dark-brown or black hair to a deep-red shade, it becomes lighter and will reflect light better creating gorgeous color depth and texture!

Long hairstyles for heart-shaped faces

This model’s heart-shaped face has width at cheek level, so needs a balancing haircut.  An off-centre part allows hair to cover the edges of a wide forehead, creating an oval line.  Plenty of volume around a narrow chin ‘widens’ it, but extra volume at cheekbone level will just emphasise wide cheeks. Sleek sides would be more flattering!

Match your favorite fashion clothes

Purple and gray are both hot fashion colors for clothes this year, so it makes sense to choose this lovely deep violet shade to create an attractive overall image.  The lightly windswept finish creates loose waves that catch the light for thicker-looking hair with movement, texture and color depth!

Here’s a pretty style based on long layers around the head and then close-set layers at the tips.  The light wave-pattern around the ends adds lots of texture, density and lively movement.  This lovely hair color idea also has light- pink balayage added to the waves, in a style that’s full of ideas to make fine/medium hair appear thicker!

This center-parted hairstyle suits an oval face, emphasising the perfect symmetry of a shape that needs no extra balancing.  The extra-large waves are trendy and draw attention down to your décolletage. And softening the look even more are fine, beige highlights, added to hair below the chin, to accentuate the wave pattern!

Long fine hair drapes like threads of silk and there’s no better way to show this off than tousled waves!  This gorgeously feminine look has cute raspberry-pink balayage, moving down in a wavy line that highlights the eyes and mouth.  Diagonal bangs on long hair suit round, heart, oval and square faces ‘lengthening’ a wide face!
