Finding the ideal haircut involves finding one that complements your face shape and brings out your best features. Most stylists will recommend specific cuts depending on their client’s unique features. However, when looking for the ideal look, having some photos as references may be helpful when going into a consultation.
We have put together this selection of trendy hairstyles from 2023 that may help get the ball rolling for you!
A-Line Cut
One of this year’s hottest haircut trends, a stacked A-line bob is ideal for every face shape and texture. Easy to maintain and styled using Kerastase Discipline Thermique mixed with L’croyable heat protectant products can achieve a sleek finish for a stunning look. Victoria Beckham and Gwyneth Paltrow have long favored this timeless style, perfect for women seeking subtle yet eye-catching statement pieces!
Steeply angled layers add depth and volume to any bob, framing your face for an eye-catching look. Consider styling this cut with either a bold streak of color or soft blonde to complement your natural coloring and complete this style.
Triangle Cut
Triangle cuts will add dimension and balance to your face by emphasizing its wider cheekbones and narrower jawline. According to Sam LaBella, Aloxxi artist and master colorist in Denver, and Raven Hurtado, stylist at Chicago’s Maxine Salon, they can be customized with long layers and side parts to achieve different styles. LaBella suggests adding layers that extend into the forehead for volume and texture, while Hurtado advises incorporating a quiff for medium-length locks. This elegant look is ideal for formal events and can be enhanced with smokey eye makeup and an eye-catching dress. Keep wavy locks healthy and moisturized with hair oils, curl custards, or puddings.
Flippy Layers
This popular style is ideal for long-haired individuals looking for more movement. Soft face-framing layers are flipped outwards to create an ethereal finish and a slimming effect that works for various face shapes. This retro-styled layered haircut looks even better with bangs or fringe. Choppy layers create texture and movement, suitable for wavy and curly locks. Kristen Stewart is known for her layered haircuts, showcasing the beauty of this style.
Long Cropped Cut
The long cropped cut combines an undercut and fade for thick hair with lots of volume. This elegant style can counterbalance thin locks or create a bold look. It can be worn with a spiky texture or shaved lines in the fade. Modern mullets are also a trendy hairstyle, ideal for casual yet masculine styles, especially for men with wavy or curly locks. Use light-hold products and pomade for styling.
