The smooth and shiny hair is expected to be the big star of the fall-winter 2024 season. It is a perfect choice for those looking for an elegant and impressive look, and is especially suitable for medium to long hair. But make no mistake - this does not mean that graduated hair is going out of fashion. On the contrary, the ratings continue to be a leading trend, especially in medium length hair. This year we'll see more bouncy bob haircuts that combine a retro 70s look with a modern twist.

In terms of colors, the cool platinum blonde is expected to star this winter. These precise shades give the hair a unique shine and a fresh and contemporary look, especially when combined with dark roots or gray tones. For the younger blonde lovers, the hottest trend is the French Balayage Pearls - a dyeing technique that combines a variety of shades, from pink to grayish beige, with a glamorous pearl finish that gives the hair a luxurious and special look.

But not only blondes can enjoy the new trends. This year we will also see bold red colors and dark shades with colorful reflections, such as the fascinating trend "Black Abyss" inspired by AI characters. To achieve the most accurate results, Margalit recommends Inua colors - an ammonia-free color series based on oil technology, which guarantees perfect coverage for white hair and a significant addition of shine, while maintaining the health of the hair.

And what about hair extensions? They also continue to be popular, with an emphasis on additions in bold colors or different textures that can upgrade any look. The hottest trend is beaded hair extensions - a new and gentle method that does not damage the hair and is suitable for both thickening and lengthening.

Finally, it is impossible to talk about hair trends without mentioning the beloved short haircut. This year it's back in a big way, with pointed or patterned edges that add movement and interest. Whether you choose a symmetric or asymmetric short haircut, this is a haircut that will definitely make your season.
