YES. If you’re looking for a sign, this is it! Give that “new year, new look” plan a greenlight right now.
According to an article in Nylon, this might be your fresh start as these hairstyles will be bound to be trending this year!
Nylon turned to celebrity hairstylists Takisha Sturdivant-Drew and Graham Nation about their takes on what the hottest hairstyles to wear this year will be.
Straight or kinky strands? No worries for there’s definitely a new style ahead to bring the best you forward!
Bangs
Let’s a year with a bang! Or with bangs. Whatever. Haha. Well, last year brought the resurgence of bangs to the forefront, and will definitely “reign in the new year,” according to Sturdivant-Drew.
“With the Pixie Baby Bang Bob and Shag Bangs being amongst the easiest and fashionable looks. Other easy (and trendy) looks for 2021 [are] side-swept bang and textured curly bangs,” she told Nylon.
Ponytails
Wow. What’s hotter than this style? It definitely gives off a classy and sophisticated vibe.
“I think we’ll see more snatched ponytails, ponytail clip-ins, and, overall, more thought-out hair looks,” Nation shared.
We’ll be seeing more “polished” and put-together looks in the near future – and a ponytail is as sleek and polished as you can get. Sturdivant-Drew also noted that really long ponytails, as well as kinky and curly ponytail updos, will be in for natural hair queens.
Bob cuts
Now it’s a comeback for bob cuts. And that’s for both straight and curly hair.
“The bob will always have a big place in my heart. Just at or below the chin, a blunt but textured cut into layers,” says Nation.
If you have natural or textured hair, Sturdivant-Drew recommends trying a baby band with a bob cut. If you think you’re prepared to get a major cut next year, try a bob.
Pixie cuts
This late ‘90s/early ‘00s hair cut is back with a vengeance this year. If you like or are comfortable with wearing your hair in a close-cut, Sturdivant-Drew recommends trying either a “scalp cut with major lines and designs” or a “close-cut short pixie with a bold color, such as purple or lilac.”
Volume & layers
For those that have long tresses who may not be so willing to part with their strands with a full-blown cut, there are styles for you, too.
“I love seeing straight hair that has volume and movement in the haircut,” Nation said.
Having “seamless layers and textures” is all you need to keep long hair looking put together.
As for Sturdivant-Drew, she recommends styling those layers in a middle part with curls effortlessly brushed out or keeping it glossy and straight with a side part in typical Kardashian style.
Keep the texture
No matter your pattern or length, both Sturdivant-Drew and Nation recommend maintaining and embracing your texture.
“Embrace the shape! Seeing curly styles with shape in the haircut will bring curls to life,” Nation said.
Sturdivant-Drew also insisted on brushing out your textured hair and wearing it in a fro or trying to layer your curls. (with Nylon/PN)
