Layered Haircuts
Layered haircuts have made a comeback as trendy styles in 2021. From chic jellyfish cuts to butterfly ones, layered styles are particularly well-suited for wavy or curly locks as they add volume and bounce.
Box Bob
The box bob is the way to go for a striking look in a small package. This jaw-skimming style features thickening ends that create an impression of thicker strands, adding volume and a stylish vibe to your hair.
Mermaid Waves
If you love beachy waves, try mermaid waves. This trendy 2021 hairstyle adds volume and sleekness to classic beachy waves for a fresh, updated look. Mermaid waves work best for those with long hair, giving the impression of thicker roots and added volume.
Start with clean, dry hair protected with heat-protectant spray to achieve mermaid waves. Section your locks into three or four sections and use a triple barrel curling iron to curl from bottom layers to top. You can also create this look with braids, ponytails, and buns, and if you have short hair, Halo extensions can help you achieve your desired mermaid look. Complete the style with a cute clam bra for a sexy siren touch.
Wispy Bangs
Wispy bangs offer a soft, natural face-framing fringe that suits all hair textures and lengths. They particularly complement wavy locks and work well for those who want to add movement to their look. Wispy bangs also flatter round faces by making them appear slimmer. A-listers like Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Hailey Bieber are fans of feathery fringe hairstyles. It’s essential to keep in mind that maintaining wispy bangs requires daily shaping and maintenance efforts to ensure they always look stylish and well-defined.
Shaggy Bowl Cut
For a boy-next-door style with a modern twist, consider an updated shag bowl cut. This style features longer layers that create a more rounded silhouette, framing your face with subtle softness and texture. The shaggy bowl cut works well for those with thin hair who desire a feminine and stylish appearance. You can add mussy definition to the cut using products like Ouai Matte Pomade.
Mixie Cut
If you’re looking for an exciting, modern, stylish, and manageable haircut, the mixie cut is a great option. This trendy hairstyle combines elements from mullet and pixie cuts, featuring a short front with fringe bangs reaching your eyebrows and longer hair at the back like a mullet. Although edgier cuts like the mixie cut require minimal upkeep, visiting a hairdresser who specializes in such styles is recommended for the best results. Be sure to communicate your preferences, including 1970s-style bangs around your temple and a mullet style ending halfway down your shoulders, with reference photos to ensure you achieve the desired look. The mixie cut is particularly eye-catching and suits those with naturally curly or wavy locks who want to show off their hair.
