3 of the most refreshing hair and beauty trends for 2017

The shops are finally coming to life again as the painfully boring festive sales come to an end, with new season stock springing up all over the high street – and you couldn’t be more excited.

Lacy bodysuits and embroidered everything – you want it all and you want it now.

The only hiccup is your rather hollow bank account that’s still recovering from your annual Christmas splurge.

Instead of buying all of Topshop’s latest range as it trickles online, all you can do is add items to your wishlist and pray your size is still available by the time payday comes around.

But while you’re at it, get to grips with the upcoming beauty looks set to take over 2017 – it’s not all about contouring anymore.

So you can perfect your new season style from top to toe before making any major investments, we’re running through three of the most refreshing hair and beauty trends of the year.

Blorange is the new… blonde?

Rainbow plaits and pastel dip-dyes might still fill up your Instagram feed, but they’re about to be replaced by a much softer colour – blorange.

Yup, the next big hue is a delicate and unusual blend of blonde, orange and pink highlights.

As well as being a super fun word to say – try it, go on – blorange is surprisingly wearable. Embrace the natural texture of your hair and show off the subtle colour variations, piling it up into a hun (a half bun, for anyone not in the know) for bang on-trend 90s dancehall vibes.

The return of corkscrew curls

Prepare yourself, because the 80s favourite corkscrew curls, made famous by Kylie and her magnificent perm, are back with a vengeance.

Luckily hair technology has come a long way, so you don’t need to commit quite so permanently to the out-there style.

With a Mark Hill Pick and Mix wand, a favourite amongst beauty vloggers, you can cheat your way to tight ringlets and voluminous coils. Follow their expert advice on how to get corkscrew curls Whitney Houston would’ve been proud of, and your new signature party look is sorted.

All that glitters

Sparkle and glitz have survived the festive party season and are set to stick around right through until next Christmas.

Eyebrows, hair partings, lips and cheeks – nothing is escaping the disco treatment. Whether day or night, we’re all about glitter at the moment.

For a really adventurous evening look, embrace the Proenza ss17 runway trend for attention-grabbing ear makeup with a glittery gel highlight. Just make sure you’ve got a good cleanser at hand to scrub it off before work the next morning.
