According to style experts, update your look this winter with a fresh haircut and vibrant hair colors. Winter 2020 hair trends favor soft styles with lots of texture. Try Hailey Bieber’s Farrah Fawcett-inspired bob style; it looks stunning with or without a hat!
Bobs
The bob is this year’s must-have haircut trend. Perfect for both long and short locks, the bob can be styled into many different looks, from chin-grazing bob to mid-length bob with bangs; plus, it looks fantastic regardless of color choice! At the 2021 Emmy Awards, Yara Shahidi made an impression with her bob with side bangs as one of the best examples of this trend. Sunnie Brooks from Biolage Haircare predicts blunt bobs will remain fashionable throughout 2019.
Pixie Cuts
Consider getting your pixie cut with layers this winter to add volume and texture. This trendy style looks fantastic when combined with an eye-catching platinum shade!
Ponytails
Rather than let your hair get caught in scarves or coat zippers this winter, try opting for a low ponytail instead. This look is chic and appropriate for professional environments. Still, you can also further personalize it by adding accessories such as floral headbands or hair scarves for an added feminine touch. Alternatively, use volumizing hair spray to quickly increase the volume in your ponytail and give a smooth finish that lasts all day. Add an embellishment such as a hair clip or scrunchie for added flair and extra height to your style! You may have come across this style trend this year on Instagram. Create a face-framing effect by pulling loose strands back and tucking them behind your ears for a face-framing eye-catching impact. Or experiment with side ponytails for something even more romantic! Wavy hair makes this style ideal, as its unstructured form helps soften features.
Pigtails
Hair clips won’t go anywhere this winter, but bows may soon join them as a stylish complement. Bows can add an adorable element of sweetness to an otherwise sleek style, whether attached to your low bun like Sophie Turner’s or secured into an attractive topknot. Pigtails often get the stigma of looking childish; however, they can feel stylish and cool when worn correctly. Try pairing your pigtails with a scrunchie or colored elastic to make for an eye-catching and playful look; alternatively, channel Baby Spice by creating high bunches that protrude out both sides like human ariel cables! Oribe stylist Kien Hoang utilized loose rope braids and tulle fabric to craft an eye-catching baroque-inspired Nicole Miller Fall/Winter 2020 show look. To recreate it, divide your strands into two equal sections and apply Star Glow Styling Wax liberally before creating braided ropes with Star Glow Styling Wax before scrunching up and adding Swept Up Volume Powder Spray for extra hold and texture.
Braids
Braids are more than just trendy hair accessories – they also express heritage and identity. Tribal braid styles originated in African culture, where they signify age, social status, marital status, and marriage status. Braids can be customized with beads or shells for a unique look. One of the latest braid trends, passion twists are versatile braid styles that can be worn at different lengths and even as an updo. Similar to tendrils but more modern and clean in appearance, passion twists can be finished off with texturizing spray for extra hold and grip.
Face-framing Curtain Bangs
Face-framing curtain bangs have quickly become one of the winter season’s must-have looks, perfect for anyone not quite ready to commit to full-fledged heavy fringes but needing more time to embrace short or long hair length. Olivia Culpo and Camila Morrone have made it famous by rocking this look with soft, textured braids. You could add length or volume with extensions or feed-in braids.
