The 9 Biggest Hair Trends of 2021, According to Celebrity Stylists.

Even if you are still working from home, you can stay stylish.

We'll be honest: 2020 wasn't exactly a banner year for hair. Salons were shuttered. Red carpet events cancelled. And keeping your hairs pressed and laid was the furthest thing from your mind. But the pandemic wore on. And on. And most of us slowly came to realize that good hair can, at times, help usher in a good mood. Good hair days are a thing for a reason. Which is, after all, why you've likely clicked this link in the first place. Welcome: We are happy to share that 2021 hair forecasts are sunny, with plenty of good hair days on the horizon.

We checked in with all our favorite celebrity hairstylists who have been, in spite of it all, bringing their clients COVID-safe waves, blowouts, cuts and trims. And what do they think the new year holds? Flattering haircuts that can grow out effortlessly, requiring very few in-between touch-ups. Waves that don't fall into any particular category. Hair color that's more natural than not. And of course, as always in the twilight of international turmoil, there's a little whimsy in there too. Retro styles with a costume-y wink. Updos with plenty of pomp and circumstance. And hair color that makes a statement (of caring or not caring—you get to choose). And in the end, that's what the joy of hair is all about: Choice, agency, beauty, and freedom. Ahead, 19 of the most on-trend hairstyles for 2021.

1. TAKE IT BACK TO THE 60's

The '60s were a time of revolution and reinvention, and so too will be 2021. This time around, expect styles to be less crisped with hairspray, more geometric, and all-around more fun. (Peep the black ribbon in this look just behind the front layers.)

2. BLUNT ENDS

Maybe it's because nobody got a haircut in 2020, but there's something about precision ends that hairstylists like Kahh Spence find deeply appealing—and we couldn't agree more.

3. CRIMPED ENDS

Call it what you want to call it, waves that were definitely created by a curling iron but do not look like they were created by a curling iron are and will continue to be all the rage.

4. PURPOSEFUL ROOTS

Here's one thing the pandemic taught us: Roots are fine, desirable even, and shouldn't be hidden away. Here, hairstylist Clayton Hawkins parted Kiernan Shipka's strands deep and on the side—all the better to show off those cool roots.

5. LONG LAYERS

If you didn't get your haircut for the better part of a calendar year, chances are you're sitting on some seriously long strands. One trip to the stylist can clean that up into something with shape and structure—and plenty of grow-out potential.

6. NATURAL CURLS

Today. Tomorrow. Always. Natural curls that have been quenched with oil and diffused into springiness are having a moment for eternity.

7. INSTAGRAM WAVES

I used to call these deep sets Hollywood waves, but I'm rebranding. Tumbling, shiny, and purposeful waves aren't going anywhere, and I for one am here for it.

8. NATURAL HAIR COLOR

The way Mother Nature intended...is very likely a very good idea. Here, bleached-out tips from a hypothetical summer in the sun melt seamlessly into cool brown roots.

9. LANG BANGS

You need a change? I need a change! Everyone needs a change! And long, swingy bangs—the kinds that graze your lashes and make you feel instantly ten thousand percent cooler and more polished—are a great option.
