Taking a look at the trends this season it’s clear that creativity is key. From bangs and messy buns to braids and pig tails – there’s something for everyone.
Messy Bun
It’s finally made its long-awaited return, embrace your Tumblr girl roots with this simple but effortlessly chic style. Perfect for hotter days when having your hair down is not an option and even a ponytail is too much. This look can easily become your go-to because it’s easy and versatile; dress it up like Kylie or match it with your comfiest attire, either work.

Braids
Want a look that is bound to turn heads? Take a look at Chi Virgo’s bold and beautiful take on braids. This look combines the messy bun with plaits, a combo we’ve been sleeping on. Although the process may take time, it’s worth it. Add this style to your hair itinerary and have a one up on everyone.
Half Up Half Down
Sometimes you can’t decide whether you want your hair up or down – so why not have both at the same time? In a simple sweep you can split your hair up, this look leaves you with the same free feeling of having your hair up and the glam energy of letting it down. Experiment with the details – you could put the ‘up’ half in a small bun or even a ponytail. Style it like Kristen and slick it all back or leave two strands at the front. The choice is yours.
Bangs
Someone call the 90s because we’re going back in time. Let’s face it, 2021 is all about tapping into our roots and we’ve seen trends from all decades making a return. One of the most prominent looks is bangs. Layers can add that extra oomph to your natural hair and Bebe Rexha is showing us just how good they can look.

Cute but cool, pigtails are bound to rejuvenate the days of your youth while standing out from the crowd. Sometimes putting your hair in a ponytail isn’t enough, all you need to try out this look is an extra hair tie. Although simple, this can make any look bold. Channel your inner Baby Spice and keep it clean or switch it up like Saweetie and add braids.
