Ah – the magic of being a beauty editor: getting to foresee the future and all beauty trends before they actually happen. But the truth is it’s just as overwhelming for us to sort through tons of different looks as it is for you to scroll through Pinterest and Instagram feeds full of the supposed “coolest trends to try right now.” So instead of throwing a roundup of approximately a hundred different cool fashion-forward hairstyles at you, we’ve rounded up three that you can wear all year round. 1. Ethereal Braided Crowns This crown braid with soft waves appeared at the Michael Costello Spring 2018 presentation and was influenced by the whimsical, feminine aesthetic of the new collection.What You’ll Need: Lived-In Texture Creation Cream, Lived-In Finishing Spray Get The Look:1. Prep with Mizani’s Lived-In Texture Creation Cream. Apply a nickel or quarter-sized amount of the product (depending on hair type), drying into the roots to create volume and add grit for braiding.2. Create a clean center part using a tail comb.3. Off of the center part, create a triangle section of hair on both sides – the front part of the part is the first point, the second point being behind the ear and the third point being at the highest point of the head. Section away with a hair clip.4. On each side/each triangle, begin braiding (inverted braid) taking each section diagonal forward. Secure each strand with an elastic.5. Use hands to loosen braids before joining braids in the back to create a crown braid (making sure to conceal the elastics. Use pins to secure.6. On the rest of the hair that’s left out, take a flat iron in an S-wave pattern to create loose waves.7. Once the whole head is ironed, apply Lived-In Finishing Spray for texture and dimension.8. Take a bit of Lived-In Texture Creation Cream through the ends to tame any flyaways and add soft hold.2.  Sleek, Modern PonytailsHairstylist Matthew Morris created this professional looking ponytail for Novis that’s perfect for days when wearing your hair down just isn’t an option.What You’ll Need: L’Oréal Professionnel Liss Control, L’Oréal Professionnel Densite,  L'Oréal Professionnel Infinium 3 and L'Oréal Professionnel Shower Shine.1. Work L’Oréal Professionnel Liss Control through hair and flat iron from the nape. 2. Spray L’Oréal Professionnel Densite at the roots and blow dry into the hair. 3. Divide the hair from ear to ear across the head and create a side part on the front hair. On the back hair, divide into symmetrical ponytails.4. Take small sections from each side of the front hair and bring to the opposite ponytail, securing each section with a rubber band. Spray each section with L'Oréal Professionnel Infinium 3.5. Once all sections have been pulled into the ponytails, cover the rubber bands with L'Oréal Professionnel Shower Shine for instant shine.3. Classically Beautiful Beach WavesFact: You can never go wrong with beach waves, as Redken proved at Torrid’s first-ever show.
