Hottest hair trends for 2013

Hair cut: Chop to it

From short and sweet as seen on Anne Hathaway’s to Mylie Cyrus’ more dramatic buzz cut, more Hollywood starlets are chopping off their locks. "My favourite look is definitely a textured, pixie cut as seen on Halle Berry," says Alain Larivee, creative consultant at John Frieda.

Hair colour: ombre won't dye out

Ombre  - hair colour that graduates from one tone to another, usually dark to light – has been hot for several seasons and will continue on in the new year. This effect gives hair that golden, sun-kissed look.

At-home DIY ombre hair: Larivee suggests, "spraying the ends of your hair with a few pumps of John Frieda's Sheer Blonde Controlled Lightning Spray. The heat from the blow dryer will lift the colour gently. The more often you use the lightning spray, the lighter the affect will be.

Quick-fix hair style: Bangs

They’re back! The easiest way to update your 'do is to add some fringe. From strict and straight to a long and layered face-framing shape, this is the no-haircut haircut. "My favourite fringe is softer and longer, therefore layered," says Larivee.

Hair accessory: Hair bands
