Trends Report: What's Hot In Hair? Find Out With Joel Warren & Edward Tricomi!

Master stylists Edward Tricomi and Joel Warren have spent their careers setting hair trends tailored to their elite clientele. Now, they share their expert knowledge, predicting the season’s Must-Have cuts and colors and show Always InStyle members how to achieve the looks at home.

Clean Lines. “Clean lines are going to make their way into many cuts and styles this season – particularly in a very straight, slightly below-the-shoulder cut with minimal layers,” predicts Tricomi. “These strong lines will also be apparent in stronger bangs and short bobs reminiscent of the 20’s. The look works for curls, too – just wear it in a “V” shape (longer in the front and shorter in the back) to maintain manageability.”

High Shine. “Matted hair is fine for wavier, messier styles, but clean lines call for high shine,” advises Tricomi. “Use a nylon and boar bristle to help keep hair knot-free while distributing oils from the scalp through the rest of the hair. Add a shine-enhancing product to damp hair and then style to create a slight sheen without weighing hair down.”

Bold Color. “Hair color is going to be bigger and bolder this season,” says Warren. “Look for brighter reds and richer brunettes. Blondes will be a wheat color with more intensity and less platinum tone. The season’s sharp, clean cuts bring out the richness of these saturated shades. Keep bold color fresh and fade-free with color-protecting shampoo and conditioner.”

Help Me Decide: Rachel McAdams Pink Hair: Hot or Not?

While still on the topic of Gwen Stefani...am I the only one that thinks Rachel McAdams is channeling Gwennie circa 1995?



I'm not sure why she'd feel compelled to do such a thing when she looked like this:



She had this to say in an earlier US Magazine interview:

"It’s a compulsion: I’m always changing parts of me," she says. "Even when I was young, I wanted to change my hair color. I was so determined that I dyed my hair with Kool-Aid. You dunk your head in a bowl of red Kool-Aid for four hours, and it comes out apricot. Not that pretty, but it is still transforming."

Help me decide: Rachel's pink hair, hot or not?
