Where Do Hair Trends Come From?
Generally, trends come from various sources, but they are often created by the media and social media platforms. We are here to give you the scoop on the trends you should know about. In doing my research on the trends, I had to speak with my own stylist Jonny Levi, who happens to always get a pulse into the hottest fashion, beauty, and hair trends.
He worked with so many celebrities himself when he developed his career, doing hair and makeup in fashion and television, working in every part of the field, including magazine editorial spreads, music videos, and movies. So, he’s in the know.
Whether you have a special occasion coming up or you just want a fresh hairstyle or color change, we have some fun ideas for you. In the spirit of inspiration, here are the biggest hair trends for 2023 because everyone deserves a good hair day.
The Biggest Hair Trends For 2023
1. Hair Care
Hair care may not be the most exciting trend, but it is the most important one, especially for this coming year.
Overall, hair care is becoming an important aspect of personal grooming and self-care, and people will invest more time and money to achieve the perfect hair. Why do you ask? As hair trends come and go, one important factor never does. Your hair health and the integrity of your hair are what most women are seeking more of these days.
Why Women Are Making Scalp Care A Priority
Many women are seeking answers for hair loss since Covid because Covid causes temporary hair loss in some.
And, with the rise of social media, people have become more aware of the importance of maintaining healthy hair. This has led to a greater demand for hair care products and treatments. So new hair treatments that make scalp care a priority are trending big time. Take good care of your scalp with a hair care routine that promotes a clean scalp, and a well-moisturized scalp.
Your head of hair depends on your scalp. To understand the health of our hair, you need to look at the root of the problem. You will have shinier, stronger, and fuller locks if your scalp is healthy.
So many women deal with dry scalps from the build-up of hair products like dry shampoo, etc.
The Most Popular Scalp Treatments
There are a variety of scalp treatment products that can be beneficial for maintaining a healthy scalp. Some of these include:
- Scalp exfoliants: These products, such as scrubs or brushes, can help remove dead skin cells and build-up from the scalp, promoting healthy hair growth. Look for natural products that are chemical-free that won’t dry out the scalp.
- Shampoos and conditioners: Look for products that are specifically planned for the scalp, such as those containing ingredients like tea tree oil, salicylic acid, and menthol, which can help soothe and clarify the scalp.
- Oils: Oils such as coconut, argan, and castor oil can be massaged into the scalp to moisturize, strengthen, and promote hair growth.
- Leave-in treatments: Look for leave-in treatments that contain ingredients like biotin, which can help strengthen and nourish hair, or panthenol, which can help moisturize the scalp.
It’s important to note that everyone’s scalp is different, so what works for one person may not work for another. It’s also important to do a patch test before using any product, especially if you have sensitive skin.
Healthy Locks
“The best thing a woman can learn is balance. Protein and moisture are the two components that make hair high quality. Protein is the natural strength of your hair, (we often use Olaplex, or K18 to restore protein). Moisture is the natural elasticity for the hair to bend and return to shape. (we often use product like Amika Soul food nourishing masque, Kerastase Nutritive Masque)”
Joni Levi- Stylist
Healthy locks mean proper moisture, protein, and shine.
2. New Hair Color Trends
Predicting that 2023 is going to be all about subtle but statement-making color that doesn’t require constant upkeep. That means low-maintenance and more natural look colors in extra eye-catching shades.

The Bixie Cut
“The “Bixie” is a haircut that mixes the bob and a pixie cut. It is a cropped short but the perimeter is soft and feathered. This is slightly longer than a typical pixie but the sides are compact and create height on top.” shares Levi. Levi shares “We are seeing a lot of the 20-somethings express themselves with short hair that has a lot more layer than ever before!
