We love T. Swift’s signature bangs. With more celebs switching it up with this edgy look, in 2013 they have definitely made their mark. Depending on how you get your bangs cut and styled – long, short, feathered, flat, curled up, or choppy – the straight across your face bangs are the way to go. Even if you don’t have time to do all of your hair in the earliest of mornings, bangs play up sophistication in throwing up your hair in a pony tail. It’s a very youthful look, but gives a little vixen mystery in your eyes. (Taylor Swift)

First came the widespread fad of the ombre…and then came the ever-so contemporary reverse ombre. Instead of going dark roots to light tips in your hair color, go light to dark. Having the lightened hair at the top of your head and surrounding your face really brightens it up – especially with a pretty smile! It will compliment the soft colors and hues that are expected in fashion for Spring and Summer 2013. Just make sure you choose colors that will give your hair an almost natural blend. The changing in color should be subtle and not a harsh definition. (Jessica Simpson)

I have heard from so many of my girl friends that chopping off their hair was the best decision they’ve ever made – mainly because it’s so low-maintenance. If you want to pull off short hair, but like to style it here and there, try cut suited for a faux hawk. Instead of keeping it short on top, leave yourself with some length so there’s plenty to play with. All you need is a hair brush and some product (moose or a pomade will do) to run through your fingers. There are two main ways to achieve this look. One is a nice, more traditional faux hawk that you’ve seen sported by Ellen Degeneres or Miley Cyrus. The second is featured on Halle, which is free, easy, and all around pretty. (Halle Berry)

Colored hair isn’t just for punks anymore. Hollywood has adopted this rebellious salutation and brought it out on the red carpet, but they’re keeping it classy. Colored hair can be too much if you look like you’re about to stop traffic for a construction site. If you’re new to color play, I recommend sticking to a color that is not too far from your natural color. For example, if you’re a dark brunette, go for a maroon base. It’s predicted that pastel hairs will be emerging quite a bit; lavender, pink, and blues. Embrace your inner mermaid. (Kelly Osbourne)
