In: Face-framing highlights

Out: Ombré

Celebs like Drew Barrymore and Jessica Biel covered up their two-toned hair in 2011 in favor of monochrome hues, but thousands of regular women still headed to the salon to "get ombré-d." While the trend isn't showing any signs of slowing down, stylists think the look will evolve. "You're going to see a lot of people with blended color -- a mix of ombré ends and bright highlights around the face," says celebrity stylist Sarah Potempa. "It's a fresh way to transition into spring." The roots and the crown of the head will be darker (a plus for anyone who loves the low-maintenance aspect of ombré), but the highlights around the face will make the color transition seem more gradual.

Meh. This was entertaining, but I guess I don't believe in following hair trends that closely. If something works with your face shape, hair type, etc. I think it's mostly ok to stick with that if you're happy with it. (That is to say--I don't care that they're saying pixie cuts are out. It fits my face and my personality so I'm keeping it!)
