Colorful clips and barrettes can add a soft girl style to any haircut. Try incorporating colorful elastics into your updo for an effortless yet chic look.
Butterfly Clips
Hair clips shaped like butterflies are enjoying an unprecedented surge in popularity right now, providing an exciting way to add color and style to any ’90s ensemble. Try securing baby braids with butterfly clips for a trendy and effortless style that won’t cause more breakage over time than traditional hair elastics can. It also serves as an effective alternative to elastics which could otherwise lead to more breakage over time. For an authentic 90s style, use larger butterfly clips as an eye-catching accent in coily or curly hair textures.
Bangs
If you’re worried about what a new haircut will look like, try using a hair app that provides a virtual version of your face and lets you experiment with various hair colors and styles before going ahead with the real thing. Wispy fringe bangs can help soften the roundness of a heart-shaped forehead without exacerbating its roundness, while long textured bangs or side-swept curtain fringe also work well on such faces. Choppy bangs are an excellent option for medium-length hair as they’re versatile enough to suit most facial structures. Sweep them to one side for a casual vibe, or tousle them for a trendy shaggy fringe look!
Pink Highlights
Pink highlights add a soft, feminine finish to any hairstyle. They pair particularly well with blonde locks, and can be applied in various ways depending on your desired style – you could have your stylist place them throughout or frame your face with them. If you’re nervous about transitioning into all-over pink color, ask your stylist to use the balayage technique and gradually introduce it. This will make the change look more natural.
Ombre
Ombre is an easy and low-maintenance color technique that looks stunning on any hair type, especially dark hues that fade into lighter tones nearer the ends. Additionally, this look is great for trying unconventional shades, such as pink or purple, as it eliminates demarcation lines between different parts of your mane. Sombre is a more subtle variation of ombre that provides a natural transition from darker original colors; for instance, a dark brown ombre fades naturally to a caramel blonde shade.
Shaved Side
Haircuts with shaved sides are an excellent way to achieve a stylish and casual look, drawing attention to both your facial features and expanding your head size. Shaved sides make your head appear larger while drawing focus to specific elements in your facial structure. If you have long hair, pair a shaved side with a bleached top for a feminine style that can be styled into braids or ponytails. Add designs or cute shapes for added interest!
Ponytail
Ponytails are an iconic style that can work on all hair textures. Wavy locks look incredibly romantic with this look, adding some loose strands at the front for face-framing effects. To create a messy ponytail look, add volume with dry shampoo at your roots; backcomb your locks before gathering them into a ponytail for best results. This style is an excellent option for medium-length hair, and when styled with elegant curtain bangs, it makes your face appear slimmer and longer.
Space Buns
Space buns are an adorable, whimsical hairstyle that works beautifully on all hair textures. Particularly impressive on afro-textured locks, space buns showcase your strand colors while drawing attention to the natural curl patterns and shapes of your natural waves. To create space buns, begin by mixing your hair into two equal sections and using either a rat-tail comb to create precise partings and sections or a wide-tooth brush for easy detangling. Bobby pins may also help secure your style.
