The Boss Blunt Bob
The blunt bob—mod-
eled effortlessly by
celebs including Khloe
Kardashian, Kylie
Jenner and Kim Kar-
dashian, Olivia Culpo,
Mel B. and Lucy Hale—
is especially flatter-
ing for anyone with a
heart-shaped face or
defined jawline.
Fitzsimmons predicts
this timeless look tak-
ing over 2019 simply
because it works for
anyone, though “you’ll
just want to be care-
ful about the length
depending on your
particular face shape.”
When cut at a proper
length determined by
your stylist, the blunt
bob or lob will always
highlight your best
features.
Nostalgia undoubtedly reigned supreme in 2018, and accord-
ing to the experts, hair trends in 2019 will also mark a con-
tinued love affair with the old classics. Fashion and beauty
brands are constantly reinventing the wheel while also intro-
ducing new and original ideas. For instance, the resurgence of
Marc Jacobs’ iconic grunge collection as well as the unexpect-
ed comeback of oversized scrunchies reminded us that moving
forward sometimes requires looking back. So come next year,
expect classic looks to be the hairstyle du jour. According to
celeb hairstylist Andrew Fitzsimmons, whose clientele in-
cludes everyone from the Kar-Jenners to Bella Hadid and Joan
Smalls, A-list 2018 trends included blunt bobs/lobs, embracing
the high ponytail and asking for the wet effect. And these styl-
ing requests show no signs of slowing down in the New Year.
Half-Up, Half-Down
Styles
The high-fashion
ponytail was also a
2018 hit, but now, we’re
already starting to see
it transition into more
half-up, half-down
styles, like the ones
spotted on Ariana
Grande, Blake Lively
and Ashley Graham.
This elevated look
“involves giving some
structure to the top of
the head” in the form
of a ponytail, bun or
even a strategic part
to give the top a little
more volume. These
looks are great be-
cause they give you a
high fashion vibe with-
out being too over the
top and there’s a ton
of different style op-
tions, so you’ll never
get bored.

’90s-Inspired Hair Acces-
sories
Another one of Fitzsim-
mons’s favorite trends
to emerge this year is
the usage of fun and
unexpected accessories
in hair. In addition to
everything from flowers
to earrings in red carpet
hairstyles (courtesy of
Janelle Monae, Emma
Stone, Kourtney Kar-
dashian and more), we’re
seeing a lot of brands
launch more adventurous
accessories—like Kitsch’s
collaboration with Jus-
tine Marjan.
The Wet Look
Perhaps the most high
fashion trend with stay-
ing power through 2019
will be the wet effect. For
Fitzsimmons, this was
hands-down his most-re-
quested look for red car-
pets. “The trick to a wet
look is not water—it’s oil!
I like to use a lightweight
oil like the NatureLab.
TOKYO Perfect Smooth
Oil to give the hair that
wet appearance,” he says.
“You’ll have to layer on
a lot more product than
you’d use for a typical
style… without making
the hair greasy!”
