<\/a>Kayla Billingsley\/In Motion<\/figcaption><\/figure>\u201cEveryone wants to look like their favorite celebrity. Everyone wants to be Kim Kardashian,\u201d Dee Gay, a cosmetology and nail instructor at Daytona State College, says about hair trends. \u201cI love it when I see guys that are on trend.\u201d<\/p>\n
Like most things in the world, hairstyles are gender specific. Women tend to change their style far more often than men. Gay reckons that in 2015, customers are leaving straight, flat hair behind and reviving volume and curls. The late \u201880s and \u201890s are definitely back in full swing.<\/p>\n
\u201cShort hair is really in,\u201d says cosmetologist Jordan Flint of current female hair trends.<\/p>\n
Asymmetric and pixie cuts (think Vidal Sassoon and 1960s model Twiggy) are taking the world by storm again, with celebrities like Miley Cyrus, ShaileneWoodly and Rihanna saying goodbye to their luscious locks and hello to a far edgier look. Sassoon, a hairstylist who popularized the shorter, more angular haircuts on women, 40 years ago, is to thank for this. He often said he found his inspiration in modern architecture. Today, the Sassoon technique lives on in schools and salons headquartered in London and Santa Monica, Calif. Although he died three years ago, the famed British hair designer\u2019s motto lives on: \u201cIf you don\u2019t look good, we don\u2019t look good.\u201d<\/p>\n
Men and boys are not left out when it comes to hair trends. A very popular look currently is the \u201cSchorem\u201d or \u201cscumbag boogie,\u201d as Gay calls it. This hairstyle includes a long top but shaved sides and back. Another made popular, thanks to Will Smith, is the \u201cGumby.\u201d Current male hair styles fall under three basic trends: barbershop; shaved parts; or pompadour.<\/p>\n
Facial hair is also very big in male fashion. Men everywhere grow their beards and mustaches out for more than just Movember, the no-shave month calling attention to prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and mental health issues. Facial hair is no longer seen as unprofessional and instead is acceptable and fashionable.<\/p>\n
Coloring hair is another very big trend no matter the age or gender of a person. Girls and boys alike will always be coloring their hair darker in the fall and winter and lighter in the spring and summer, but what about those unnatural colors like neon blue or bright pink?<\/p>\n
\u201cThe naturals will always be a classic, but people are less afraid now,\u201d Flint says. \u201cWhether it is an accent or the whole head, people are going for it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Unnatural hair colors have been made acceptable by celebrities like Kelly Osborne, Hayley Williams, Perez Hilton and Katy Perry. A very on-trend color is chrome, the silvers and dusty blues and purples. People left and right also are bleaching their hair platinum, perhaps in homage to Hollywood icons such as Jean Harlow. Pastel colors are always very in and a year \u2018round trend. These colors, like the naturals, can be darkened for the colder months and lightened for warmer weather.<\/p>\n
Coloring hair can be a pretty expensive fad. The prices at a retail salon for a single application color can be $45-plus, a full head bleaching $60 to $80-plus and full head highlights $75 and up. At the Daytona State Cosmetology Salon all of these coloring processes are far less expensive. A single application color is $20, a full head bleaching is $40 with $30 for bleach touch-ups and full head highlights are $45. Appointments can be made at the Daytona State Cosmetology Salon Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. On Mondays and Wednesdays, there are extended outs from 6 to 9 p.m. Call 386-506-3319 for an appointment.

Girls have been growing out their underarm hair, bleaching it and coloring it pastel colors, usually matching their head colors. Another trend that isn\u2019t as popular as the underarm coloring is called \u201cPretty Betty.\u201d This includes coloring your nether regions a pastel color, again usually matching the head color.<\/p>\n Both Gay and Flint have agreed that they will not be participating in these trends, but think it\u2019s a fun idea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Cara O\u2019Connell Special to In Motion Since the dawn of civilization, hairstyle trends have been forever changing.
