Curtain Bangs

We’re bringing the 70’s back with my personal favourite, especially for people who are not fans of cutting lengths off their hair. Curtain bangs swooping on your forehead are classy, look amazing on any face shape and make your features appear very soft and feminine. Ideal as face-framing pieces, this hairstyle is perfect for all Farrah Fawcett and Brigitte Bardot fans out there! Plus, with celebrities like Selena Gomez sporting this hairstyle, you surely would want to try it out for yourself, isn’t it? Come on, it’s not that big of a commitment!

Choppy Textured Bob

 

Gone are the days when you had to stick out your blow-dryer and spend hours trying to straighten and smoothen your hair. Ask your hairstylist to cut your hair to the length where it just hits the nape of your neck. That’s the ideal length for most people out there without making it seem too overwhelming. This cool and rock’n’roll hairstyle is achieved just when you walk out of the shower. Apply some volumizing mousse, spray a little texturizing sea-salt spray and let your hair air-dry by occasionally scrunching it with your hands. Voila! That’s all you gotta do to achieve the look. It’s effortless, looks uber cool and requires no heat-styling whatsoever. What else do you want in a hairstyle, huh?

Asymmetrical Long Bob (Lob)

 

If the bob is a little too short for your liking, a lob might be up your alley. It’s long enough to be tied up and short enough to be low-maintenance. What a happy medium!? An asymmetrical long bob is shorter at the back and longer in the front giving you that edgy, ultra-cool vibe. Pro-tip: Show reference pictures to your hairdresser so she knows exactly what you want.

“Being Erica” might be the new show you’d want to binge-watch. Here’s why.

Blunt Cut (Long) Bob

With celebrities like JLo, Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Lawrence and Khloe Kardashian sporting this hairstyle, you surely wouldn’t want to miss out on trying this trend. It’s clean, bluntly cut, neat and extremely modern with sharp edges. And it doesn’t require you to do too much in terms of styling it. Just your handy-dandy straightening iron would do the job. Plus, it grows out beautifully.

Bleached Face-Framing Pieces

With Tik Tok giving rise to this notorious hair trend, it surely is here to stay. It’s modern, looks edgy in the most subtle way possible and doesn’t require your whole head of hair to be destroyed by bleach, just your face-framing pieces lol. If you want that extra pizazz, colour those bleached pieces pink, neon green or purple following that E-Girl aesthetic.

Modern Shag

With celebrities like Taylor Swift sporting this hairstyle for years now, this hairstyle has finally made a cut in the top 10 list of 2021 hair trends. It’s chic, effortless, and easy to style and looks very contemporary with its messy feel, giving away that “I-don’t-give-a-damn” impression. Pro tip: to create that choppy feel on the ends, smother some hair wax to give it that piece-y look.

Go Ham with the Hair Accessories

Almost all the fashion weeks have been stormed by massive hair accessories in 2021 too. Hairpins stacked with pearls and prints are all the rage. Metallic barrettes, neon coloured bobby pins and bows are back in trend. Layered headbands are also ruling on the runways and are a trend that you can imitate on your own hair. All you need are a few headbands in different finishes and textures to nail the look!

 

Sleek Low Bun

A middle-parted sleek low bun is perfect for that polished and powerful look. Plus, it’s ideal for dirty roots and second and third-day hair. The stickiness actually helps in keeping flyways at bay. Moreover, with celebrities donning this hairstyle on red carpets, you surely would be staying high on trend yourself! Pair it with red lipstick for that ultimate “Power Pout” look or a sharp feline flick, since your face would be stealing the spotlight.

 

High Ponytail

Unleash your inner Ariana Grande by tying your hair up in a high ponytail. Not only will it lift your face to give it a faux botox, but it will also keep your hair out of your face in the hot summer months. It’s a no-fuss, no-muss hairstyle that you can rock at school, in the workplace and even at an evening party. There are tonnes of tutorials by Chris Appleton, Ariana’s hairstylist where he shows you the tricks of hacking the lewkkk. Keep your makeup fresh and neutral for that cute, girl-next-door vibe or smoke your eyes out to create that hippie, grungy “don’t mess with me” feel. Either way, you’re going to look like a vision!
