2021’s top hair trends
There’s never been a better time to switch up and refresh your look. After a year spent basically in hiding, we’re all ready for something totally different! Let a new look blossom courtesy of these fashion runway and Instagram standouts. If you’re ready for a big reveal when you reunite with friends IRL, here are 2021’s top-trending hairstyles.
1. Curtain bangs
These layered side bangs look good with long and short looks alike. And the best part? They’re bangs you won’t regret because their angle allows them to grow beautifully with your cut.
2. Strawberry blonde
This reddish blonde hair color is about to have a major moment thanks to celeb love from the likes of Gigi Hadid. Supermodel approved? Yes, please!
3. Shag cut
Those with angular facial features can easily sport boyish hair, which is hot for 2021. Short in the front and longer in the back, this fresh take on the mullet is surprisingly fashion-forward.
4. Sunshine yellow
After months spent indoors, there’s nothing we’re craving more than some sunshine. This hair color trend brings the sunny warmth to you.
5. Chunky highlights
This throwback trend is all about highlighting a few larger pieces upfront. More modern than its 90s go-round, this time they subtly frame your face.
6. Soft pink
Millennial pink isn’t going anywhere. The soft pink shade is even picking up steam as a favorite to wash through your hair for some temporary fun.
7. Long locks
With all that time to grow out your hair, this one should be a walk in the park. Long, long lengths are about to have a serious comeback.
Just a little cut and color
A new look is something we’re all craving right now and shags, bangs, and sunset shades have all made the shortlist. Whatever you’re planning to do with your newfound freedom, make it impactful with a trending cut or color from this list and you’ll be debuting a fashion-forward new ‘do at just the right time.
