Looking for a brand new look? Donning a new hairstyle is a perfect way to add a little oomph to your style. With so many hair trends popping out right now, it can be a little difficult to choose what’s right for you. However, there’s no need to worry about not keeping up with the trends. We’ve got you covered. Here are the top seven timeless hairstyles you should try out right now.
1. Soft Curls and Waves
If you want to look sweet and romantic, getting medium to large waves would look good on you. Whether you have short, medium, or long hair, this hairstyle would suit you. This hairstyle complements a variety of face shapes as well. Whether you have around, oblong, heart, or rectangle-shaped face, soft curls, and waves will look good on you. You can either use a hair curler or a flat iron to achieve this hairstyle. Make sure to seal it with a hair mist and you’re good to go!
2. Bob Cut
Made popular in the 1920s, a bob cut is great for those who are looking for a low-maintenance and sleek hairdo. It’s effortlessly chic and stylish. If you have a round face, a bob cut with side-swept bangs would suit you. For those with a square-shaped face, a bob that ends about an inch or two above your jaw would be perfect. If you have a heart-shaped face, chin-length bob is a great choice. A long bob, on the other hand, works best on all types of face shapes. Adding blunt bangs on your bob cut is also a trendy option. However, blunt bangs can be unflattering for those who have square or round-shaped faces.
3. Layered Hair
Want to add volume and length to your hair? A layered hairstyle is an answer to your prayers. This hairstyle can be done on all types of hair lengths. If you want to achieve a soft and smooth look, get a wispy layered haircut. If you want something bold and edgy, choppy layers would be the best choice. Styling your hair with gel, wax, or pomade is typically done to add texture to choppy layers.
4. Colored Hair
If you don’t want to chop off your long and lovely locks, changing your hair color would be your best bet. The best hair color usually depends on your skin tone. For warm skin tones, a warm hair color like golden beige or buttery blondes, caramel or butterscotch brunette, and golden copper hues would look great. On the other hand, cool skin tones could go for subtle shades of mocha, cool red, or platinum blonde. If you want to add highlights to your hair, you should check out ombre hairstyles. Balayage is the art of applying soft, gradient highlights to achieve an ombre hair and this service has been trending in San Diego and all over Instagram lately! When opting for an ombre hairstyle, make sure to tell your stylist to make it as natural and as well-blended as possible and aim for a reputable hair salon.
5. Bangs
Getting hair bangs is a simple and easy way to upgrade your look. Whatever your face shape is, there’s always a type of bangs that would work on you. Side bangs and blunt micro bangs are perfect for those with round faces as they add more dimension to your face. Crescent bangs are very flattering on heart-shaped faces. Oval faces, on the other hand, would look nice with softened blunt bangs. Angle side bangs and long layered bangs will look great on oval faces. A-shaped bangs, on the other hand, complement square or oblong-shaped faces.
6. Pixie Cut
A pixie cut is another timeless hairstyle that’s fuss-free and low maintenance. Planning to cut your hair short? A pixie cut is a bold but classic choice for petite women with either wavy or straight hair. This hairstyle would look best on round, oval, square, and heart-shaped faces as it would soften your features, as well as emphasize your cheekbones and your eyes. If you’re thinking of adding bangs to complement your pixie cut, go for thick side-swept bangs.
7. Updo
Tired of letting your hair down? Heading to a formal event or a fun night out? A signature updo hairstyle is the best choice. Low chignon, sleek updos and crown braids are great for the office and events. For a laidback look, top knots and messy buns would do the job.
There are countless of hairstyles that you can experiment with. But you can never go wrong with the timeless hairstyles mentioned above. That being said, it’s still best to consult with your hairdresser or stylist first before making such a big change.
