2016 was a time for Filthy Rich Tresses

Reflecting on the hair trends that made 2016 unforgettable, I remember how creative and diverse the styles were. Baby hairs gained major attention as a way to frame the face delicately, often styled with gels to create intricate swoops and edges—a perfect blend of natural beauty and artistic expression. I personally loved experimenting with this trend because it allowed for personalization, depending on the occasion or mood. Halo braids also surged in popularity that year, offering an elegant crown-like look that could transition from casual daywear to formal events seamlessly. What made halo braids stand out was their versatility across different hair types and lengths. Many hairstylists and enthusiasts on social platforms like @filthyrichtresses showcased variations that inspired many to try this trend themselves. Goddess braids were another must-try hairstyle that year, characterized by larger, thicker braids that stood out as a bold style choice. They were perfect not only as a protective hairstyle but also as a statement of cultural pride. I recall feeling empowered whenever I wore goddess braids because they added volume and drama to my look effortlessly. Additionally, large watermark logos or vibrant watermarks emerged as a social media trend to brand hairstyles and highlight hairstyling artistry. Although sometimes playful or humorous, these marks helped creators gain recognition and connect with hair communities. Overall, revisiting these 2016 hair trends reminds me of how hair styling is both an art and a personal expression. Whether you want to channel the finesse of baby hairs or the boldness of goddess braids, these styles continue to influence hair fashion today. Trying them again or adapting them to current trends can be both fun and a nostalgic way to celebrate the creativity of past years.
