Calling All Stylists, Colorists + Hair Artists

 The 2026 Digital Hair Awards are officially open and ready to see what you create.

 

The Digital Hair Awards are more than a competition. They’re a global movement celebrating artistry, innovation, and diversity on a global scale. Open to talent worldwide, the awards invite hair artists to share their best work—captured and submitted straight from their smartphones.

K18 and the Digital Hair Awards share a single purpose: to empower the next generation of stylists to push creative and scientific boundaries. That’s why we’re proud to partner up for the second year in a row.

K18 CEO + Founder, Suveen Sahib, shares why amplifying the global stylist community with events like this matters:

Calling All Stylists, Colorists + Hair Artists

“At K18, we don’t just see hair, we see a living medium for expression. That’s why we are proud to be the lead partner of the Digital Hair Awards. Together, we are breaking down barriers and opening the stage to every stylist who loves to push the boundaries of hair as canvas—championing innovation, accessibility, creativity, and spontaneity. 


The fearless work from global stylists reminds us why we exist: to protect and extend the creative canvas of hair. This mirrors our lens in a social-first world: to create a space where stylists lead, and biotech innovation follows their creativity—not the other way around. ” 


2025 creativity blew us away

From bridal brilliance by Dom Pelli (F&V Hairstylists) to clever innovation by Tobey Farmer with Best Hair Hack, the 2025 winners underline the Digital Hair Awards’ global reach and its power to elevate the next generation of trendsetters. 


As the virtual applause rang out across screens worldwide, one thing was clear: the future of hair artistry is here—digital, diverse, and dazzling.
