Face the challenges of the "new norm" with a new do, that inspires you and excites you!
Although there is an onslaught of options, in this blog post we are sharing the top 10 haircut and hair color trends that we are predicting will be among the hair trends in 2021. So, keep reading to explore our hair trends list.
1. Lob (long bob)
First up on our hair trends 2020 list is none other than the "lob”.
This type of bob sits just above your shoulders unlike the typical bob which sits at the jaw line. This look gives you long enough hair to still tie it up, which can be a total lifesaver for sweaty gym sessions or other active days, but is short enough that you can still play with textures and an edgier look.
2. Jagged edge bob
The basic bob isn’t cutting it anymore or at least this is a different take on the classic, blunt bob. We're predicting that more texture will be a must for the bob cut. This means the cut isn’t cut to one length—instead it’s layered and choppy.
3. Color Contrasting
This is a bold color look not for the faint of heart. Instead of straight lines of color when you opt for highlights or a balayage, the color contrasting trend calls for something a bit more dramatic. Instead, you’ll have puddles of contrasting color, and your hairstylist will use a technique to jaggedly add these this color to your hair.
4. Face framing highlights
This look requires face framing highlights at the front of your hair giving you a desired lift. If you opt for warm tones then this look is going to add warmth, and brighten up your face like a halo. Another benefit to trying this particular 2020 hair trend, is that it isn’t high-maintenance and will grow out seamlessly.
5. Bangs are back...micro bangs specifically
We just had to include this one on our hair trends list! This face framing bang style starts a couple inches above your eyebrows. This super stylish bang look will be seen even more in 2021 and so far, people either really love it or hate it, either way it’s clear that these bangs make a statement.
6. Peek a boo hair color
This is a fun little pop of color without going all in on a full head of a color. Peek a boo highlights are colored highlights added under the top layer of your hair, so that they are slightly hidden. Usually it’s a small patch of a vibrant color that you can only see when you have a bun or just depending on the movement of your hair. Experiment with more traditional colors or even pastels and other more edgy colors. This look is all about the element of surprise.
7. Bronde
Not sure whether to go blonde or brunette? Don’t worry, now introducing “bronde” the in between color that celebrities and models alike are sporting. This hair color can be achieved in so many different ways by mixing in different tones of blonde and brown. The positive is that keeping the brown tones means it’s less harsh on your hair shaft than bleaching it to a lighter blonde tone.
8. Red hair
Gorgeous red hair color, will also be among hair trends. This color warms you up, and looks fiery, red, hot! Opt for shampoos that are sulfate free since these will strip your color. The one thing to watch out for when going red is that we admit that red tends to fade faster than other color and when red does fade, it is more noticeable.
9. Curly highlights
In 2020 we predicted that girls with thick curly manes will get more playful with highlights to add drama and dimension to their curls. Be careful with coloring your curly hair, since curly hair already tends to be on the dry and frizzy side.
10. Bowl cut
The famously cringe bowl cut, is making a comeback. Now, not necessarily a horrible mishap when your mom decided to go a little too scissor crazy on your hair when you were younger, this look has been sported by famous celebrities -- on purpose, might I add. Similar to the shaved head, we’re not sure everyone can pull off this look, but it has become a stylish and fashionable haircut.
