Whether it’s natural or artificial, texture is trending! This year, we’re putting a fun spin on it by layering them. We saw a movement of layers making its way on to the runways by way of textures, prints, fabrics, and color. The same way we saw this mix on the runways, we’ll also see them make a strong play in hair in 2019. “While natural texture will always be coveted, there will be more artificial texture created with irons as well to create an almost mixed media, with braids and twists heightening the effect,” explains Anna Peters, Sam Villa ArTeam.

Not getting the results you’re looking for within your curled styles? Not sure if you should be adjusting your barrel size or section size?
