Whether you choose to chop it off or sneakily pin your hair back, a shaggy pixie cut will totally fit in this year. This pixie is all about longer pieces tousled in a “I woke up like this” way.
Pixie cuts are so low maintenance, but there are other huge benefits. First of all, you use less product. Hello~ Talk about saving money. Second, it’s perfect for warmer weather because there isn’t any hair sticking to the back of your neck. Few things are worse than sweaty hair.

If you want a new color for the year, consider a rich reddish brown. This nutty color is flattering on several skin tones and is an easy choice for naturally brown hair.
Usually, this hair color is for the fall, but we say, “why not wear it all year?” It’s beautiful and can change the way you look. Seriously, have you ever seen someone with light hair dye their hair brown? It changes their look so much, it’s like they’re a new person.

Bobs have never really gone out of style, but they’re going to make a big comeback. The bob is one of the easiest hairstyles to maintain; the “together” bob is a sleek, straight look that anyone can sport.
If you have thin hair, you can still get a bob, and use a little sea salt spray or root lifting spray to give it extra volume. Spray these products on wet hair and then blow dry with your head upside down. When you flip back up, you’ll have extra va-va-voom.

Good news, curly-haired friends—curls are going to be a staple for hairstyles this year. How much easier does it get? Wash, air dry, brush out, and done.
If you don’t have naturally curly hair, you can get this look using curls or a perm. For longer hair, a perm might be a better option considering how long it’d take to put it all into curlers. For shorter hair, grab yourself some curlers and gently run your fingers through your locks in the morning for the same look.

Trade your high, messy bun for a lower version. It's low effort, easy to do, and way less painful at the end of the day.

The secret to great-looking styling is to place your brush on top of your bangs, not underneath. Then use your blowdrying to dry them straight back to curls over the brush. That way, they should fall as effortlessly as Cameron Diaz's.
If all the blow-drying seems like too much work, you could part your hair and make sure it dries in place. If you have unruly strands, you can use a bit of hairspray and all will be well -- just make sure to get a hairspray that allows your hair to move naturally.

Blondes are going even blonder. Icy blonde balayage is a major color trend, and it's a fierce one at that. Maybe icy blondes have even more fun?
Similar to the brown, going to this icy blonde balayage will make everyone turn their heads. We also love how the roots are darker so those of us with naturally brown hair don’t have to worry about the dreaded root crisis. It grows out and is totally low maintenance.

No one puts Baby (or her hair) in a corner! If you loved this look on the big screen, you can proudly rock the messy natural curls and bangs this year.
Dirty Dancing curls are super fun and bouncy. If you naturally have this look, way to go! You have one of the most beautiful hairstyles of the year. If not, you can obtain it through a perm. It can give your hair huge volume, which is something we all want, right?

First up is the Lob. The Lob is a "long bob;" it’s typically short and layered in the back and slightly longer (around shoulder-length) in the front. It’s one of the most searched-for hairstyles on Pinterest, and for good reason. Celebrities like Lucy Hale, Jennifer Aniston, Jessica Alba rock it on the reg, but it looks good on literally everyone.
One of the reasons we specifically love the Lob is because it’s long enough to give you “long” hair, without weighing you down. It’s a little cooler than traditional long hair, and you often have enough length to tie your hair up on particularly hot days! Plus, you have enough hair to braid if you feel like it.

The messy, curly bob is the same length as the sleek bob, but it’s a bit more unkempt. It’s basically a really good excuse to rock your bedhead throughout the day. Just flip your hair over, spray, and you’re set!

A low chignon is a classic look, but a chignon on the top of your head is so in. It’s a funky style that will modernize your fancy outfit.
You can easily get this look by putting your hair in a ponytail, but leaving a little gap between your head and your hair tie. Slip the end of your ponytail into the gap and pull until you have a significant bun. Then, wrap the rest of your hair around the hair tie. Finally, secure with bobby pins!
The middle part (or the “butt part,” as I like to call it) has been “in” for a while, but the deep side part is going to make a huge comeback. Although the middle part is a much easier hairstyle to manage, the deep side part is a much more mature, put-together look.

The old Taylor is dead, and so is her old hair. Follow in the pop princess’s steps and get the “new Taylor” haircut. It’s easy and lowkey and looks pretty killer to be honest.
Blunt bangs are great for a round face. It compliments your face shape to make your features soft and feminine. Be careful, though. Bangs can make your face look even fuller, so find a stylist that you fully trust.

It's guaranteed to be a much more diverse, inclusive year (we can only go up, right?), which means it’s time to rock what the good lord gave you, ladies. Natural hair is here to stay.
It doesn’t matter what texture you have, flaunt away. Long or short, natural hair is absolutely beautiful. While we love it when natural hair does its own thing, we also adore putting it in a bun or ponytail for an extra voluminous hairstyle.

Think Disney’s Princess Jasmine in the real world. Pull your hair into a low or mid-level ponytail and then add another hair band halfway down your hair. This is also a great workout hairstyle.
The Double Ponytail is really fantastic if you have thick hair. You’ll probably break fewer ponytails trying to stuff it all into one. Thinner hair isn’t left out, though! A double ponytail can give you that long, puffy look you’ve always dreamed about.

This year, you don’t have to hide your bobby pins! This year, make a statement with yours by creating bobby pin “crowns” and fun geometrical designs in gold and silver pins.
We love this style because it’s great for all hair types whether you have thick or thin hair. It can also work for short or long hair! It doesn’t matter! Just think about some designs and start sticking them in. You don’t even have to worry about the colors matching.

If you want to upgrade your messy curls, try adding in some peek-a-boo braids underneath the top layer of curls. Pull the strands out of the braid a bit for added volume and fun.

This burgundy hair color legitimately looks amazing on all skin tones. With a purple tint to it, this color has dimension and pizzazz that other colors simply lack.

The wet look is here to stay. This year, try it with a deep side part and smoothing back your hair. Leave the ends dry.
The wet look is good for two reasons. The first, it’s so incredibly easy to accomplish. All you have to do is smooth your hair back after a shower! What could be easier than that? Second, you’re not damaging your hair with any heating products. It’s a great way to give your locks a bit of a break after using heating tools all week.

No matter your natural hair texture, it’s in style. Give your heated hair tools a rest and let it do whatever it wants. If you need to use a curling iron touch up a few pieces no big deal.

If regular ponytails are boring you, you can try the trendy, new bungee ponytails. It’s basically a ponytail with a thin, brightly colored bungee cord tied throughout the hair—so it’s like a messy, undone bun-braid hybrid. You’re welcome.

Hippie curls are going to be all the rage. Messy, undone, slightly frizzy, and totally fierce, these curls will be your go-to on the days you simply don’t want to worry about your hair.

This easy-as-pie style is actually considered stylish now. What was once your face-washing go-to is now your day-time style. To keep it from being too 90s, pull just the top half of your hair back and loop it.

Tired of your normal part? This year you can glue lines of rhinestones along your part for a little bling. We recommend reserving it for nights out.
Bejeweling our hair isn’t something we’ve never done. After all, the ‘90s were all about adding jewels, beads, and string. Just be careful which glue you choose! While your natural oils will help you remove the jewels at the end of the day, some glue can cause your hair to clump.

Clearly, ponytails are going to be big. For a ponytail update, try your hand at a sectioned style. This is another style that will take some time to learn and master, but the final look is worth the effort.
