2016 was an interesting year, we've seen some great things, but also some terrible things. Hairstyles were no exception. Here are some of the biggest hair trends of 2016:

1. Unicorn hair

Unicorn hair (and unicorn everything else) was very popular in 2016. We saw some spectacular color combinations and magical looks.

Speaking as someone who rocked some unicorn hair this year: it made you feel spectacular. I was unable to walk down the street without someone commenting on my hair. My favorite moment was when a girl asked for my photo while I was grocery shopping (everyone around me thought I was some famous person).

It is debatable if this trend will continue in 2017, but I for one am all for it.

2. Man Buns

Man buns were more a thing of 2015 but 2016 still had its fair share of the male hair twist. Unfortunately not many men have luscious hair and end up resembling a trash bag or some out of this world creature. Here's to hoping shorter haircuts will make a return in 2017.

3. Balayage

The great ombre craze of 2014 sparked a new challenge for stylists worldwide. It was very easy for a ombre to look like a hombre, so what was there to do? Make way for the balayage.

Balayages give your hair a sun-kissed look and are very popular among ladies that want a lighter look but don't want to retouch their highlights every few weeks.

4. Man Perms

2016 saw a new trend among men. The perm.

Though many men are blessed with lovely locks, others are not so fortunate and have to turn to chemical treatments. The result is the man perm, and I quite like it.

5. Platinum Blonde

This past year it was quite popular to get platinum hair. Many celebrities tried it, namely Adam Young from Owl City, Taylor Swift, Kylie Jenner, and many more.

Something tells me platinum hair may be here to stay for a while longer.

Some people totally pulled off their looks, some didn't. Let's hope 2017 has more interesting trends for us to try. Happy New Year!
