Low-maintenance styling has been the styling highlight of 2020, heck, people even started cutting their hair or other people’s hair from their homes. But as people are learning to get back on their feet and salons are now back in business, we realize that healthy, lush locks protected with hair fall herbal shampoo and conditioned for moisture and bounce, can put us in a good mood.
So now that people can again make appointments with their favorite hairstylists, many are thinking about what hairstyle to take on as they prepare to move on with their lives.
Hairstyle Trends for Women in 2021
Here are some hairstyles that you’ll be seeing more of in 2021 and in the next year. They range from classic to futuristic, and you’ll see something for everyone, from those who have dirty blonde highlights to those with tight dark curls.
1. Soft Bob or the Old Hollywood Bob
The cut involves having shoulder-length hair with soft curves at the end. Some call it a Korean soft bob but it also resembles the old Hollywood look, particularly in the late ’60s.
A bob looks good on anyone and can be used to bring balance to any face type. Adding that soft curl at the end will boost your style effortlessly and bring volume to your hair.
2. Blunt Textured Cut
A blunt haircut refers to your hair is cut the same length. It’s a trend that doesn’t involve layers and gets straight to a single point. If you like short hair or long hair, you can still get blunt ends as blunt cuts look beautiful on all hair textures.
3. Blunt Shoulder-Length Cut
Blunt collarbone cuts can be seen worn by celebrities like Selena Gomez, Rihanna, Vanessa Hudgens, Lucy Hale, and Kendall Jenner. It’s a statement look for both straight and curly hair. Flattering on all face shapes, this hairstyle is both trendy and low maintenance.
4. Mullets
Mullets are in again. However, unlike blunt cuts, this can be an acquired taste because although beautiful, not many find it appealing.
The ’80s was the year of the mullet. It is traditionally defined as long hair with a longer cut at the back. The modern mullet is a cut with tapered sides, a shorter cut in the front, and longer in the back.
Now, women are wearing mullets proudly. It’s practical and easy to style. You can have it sleeked back and looking elegant, or just blow dry it and leave it as is.
Cropped mullets for one are flattering for diamond and heart-shaped faces. It’s like a pixie-cut with a longer style at the back.
If you dare try it, find a hairstyle inspiration with the same facial shape as yours so you can see if the style will suit your features.
5. Curtain Bangs
The original look from the ’70s is back. Curtain bangs are bangs that are parted in the middle causing your hair to frame your face on both sides. One of the reasons curtain bangs are making a comeback is because they look good on almost everyone. If you have thin hair, it can add volume so that your hair looks thicker.
Bottom line is that this style is flattering for every hair type, and effortlessly frames your face properly.
6. Face Framing Layers
If you love long hair, then this is a style that will upgrade your look. Adding long layers gives your hair personality and volume.
Try having the layers start just under your chin, this will frame your face better, and draw attention to your eyes.
7. Undercut
Undercut hairstyles are popular with both men and women. With undercuts, you can do a hidden side shave, play with the layers, or create patterns in the back. Celebrities known for rocking this hairstyle are Scarlett Johansson, Pink, Miley Cyrus, Tilda Swinsonand Missy Elliot among others.
Look at pictures as references before having it done on your own hair. It isn’t for everyone but it’s edgy and manageable.
Be aware of your facial features and choose a style that’s not just trendy but will enhance your own beauty. Talk to your hairstylist and make sure to communicate what you want. Don’t be embarrassed about asking questions or voicing out your preferences. Make sure that your face is framed the right way and the hairstyle is meant to celebrate you.
