Top 9 Hair Trends For Celebrities In 2015

2015 has been a major year for black women, especially when it comes to hairstyles. The most popular hair trends have ranged from natural hair to weaves*, waves, locs and, of course, short hair. So let’s take a look at the year’s top trends for women with style.
1. Straight dark hair

For the longest time, long straight jet black hair has been the most popular hairstyle for women of color. And there’s almost countless ways you can wear it. This year, keeping it simple has been the most popular option for most celebs like Naomi Campbell.

2. The Pixie

2015 was the year of the pixie. Everyone from Tyra Banks to Jennifer Hudson rocked it. And you can’t blame them; the pixie made every woman who wore it a complete knockout. And the best thing about it is that it looks good on everyone.

It doesn’t matter whether your hair is curly, straightened, kinky*, thick or even a wig*. And you can customize it any way you want, from coloring it platinum or red to giving it a side part.

3. Braids

Worn by celebs like Zoe Kravitz and Solange Knowles, small braids have been incredibly popular this year. And why not? They look great, are simple to make and easy to maintain. And though they might look heavy, they weigh about the same as natural hair.

4. Natural Hair

This year, more and more women have given up on wigs* and weaves* and opted for their own natural black hair. Celebs have decided to ditch the weave* and embrace what they have, artists like Solange Knowles, Lupita Nyongo and Maria Borges have all decided to show their love publicly for their natural hair.

5. Bobs

The bob is the perfect option if you want your hair to be short but not as short as the pixie. It also works if you’re growing your hair out. And, like the pixie, you can wear it in a number of different ways.

You can have highlighted bobs, angled bobs if you have short hair, a straight asymmetrical bob with lengthy side bangs and more.

You can even dye it in different colors–one of the best things about being black is that you can pull off almost any color of hair. Celebrities who dazzled in bobs this year ranged from Khloe Kardashian to Ciara.

6. Wigs*

Even though natural hair is back in style, wigs* haven’t become any less trendy. If anything, they’ve become even more popular. And if you get a well-made wig, no one will be able to tell it’s not your own hair.

A wig* will also transform your look; you can try out new hairstyles and it won’t affect your natural hair. You can even have a bespoke wig* measured to fit your scalp and colored and cut the way you want.

7. Fringe bangs

If you want short and classy but don’t want a pixie cut or a bob, bangs are your best bet. And countless stars have taken the trendy cut this year.

Rihanna and Emma Stone got a chunky block fringe, Kerry Washington had a side fringe, Beyonce had a short fringe, Kelly Rowland rocked a short choppy fringe and Alexa Chung rocked a fringe that’s parted in the middle. With so many options, you can look like your favorite A-lister and still look different from most other women.

8. Updos

This is another trend–for both short and long hair–that has set the fashion world on fire this year. Setting updos can be quite cumbersome or very simple, depending on which style you’re going for.

But no matter the style, you will look gorgeous and sophisticated. You can rock a fluffy top-knot updo, a twisted bun updo, a classy 1940s French Roll, an afro puff updo and more. All you need is some imagination and boldness (or inspiration from celebrities like Zoe Saldana) and you’ll have your new favorite look.

10. Natural Mohawks

The natural mohawk has been in and out for years, but we just keep coming back to it. It’s popular in virtually every fashion era. The natural mohawk has a number of options to make it eye-catching: you can have extremely short hair to really emphasize the mohawk, you can sport both shaved designs and curls, or you can opt for corn rows.
