The 17 Biggest Haircut Trends of 2021

Believe it or not, 2020 was a big year for haircuts — COVID-19 be damned. We witnessed countless folks, use salon closures as an excuse to play hairstylists, giving themselves bangs, layers, and buzz cuts from their homes. An external change can be a simple and easy way to signify a transition that is internally more complex and harder to articulate otherwise. A new haircut becomes almost like an announcement to both yourself and the outer world that something is changing in your life.

Now that businesses are opening back up, people are sprinting right back to their beloved stylists for both touch-ups and full-blown transformations to signal this new phase of their lives as they re-enter the world.

Due to the standstill, the world was under for nearly a year, several haircut trends from last year poured into 2021, like mullets, shaved heads, and bobs. And now that summer is full force, new haircut trends have officially emerged, such as ’90s layers and curly shags. We asked hairstylists across the country to share the summer haircut trends their clients have been requesting the most lately.

While scrolling through this list, keep in mind what features on your face you want to enhance — instead of your face shape. You and your stylist can create a game plan to make sure these things are framed in the right way. We need to make it a positive experience and celebrate you, which is the most important thing at the end of the day.

Curly Shag

A major summer 2021 haircut trend is the curly shag. With more women embracing their coils after lockdown, the shag cut has become a fun way to experiment with different lengths and bangs — all the while keeping that cool, lived-in look going.

Mullets

We’ve been seeing mullets everywhere lately. The modern-day version of the cut that defined the ’80s is a little more chill, though. We are seeing a lot more of these, especially in slightly longer, less severe versions.

Like many mullets, the style seen at many 2021 fashions shows has a ton of texture, but it is brought out through the actual cut of the hair, as opposed to a natural pattern. Here, the hair in the backflows straight down, instead of bending or curling. For a more full face, the modern mullet is the way to go. The hair framed around the face will perfectly complement this face shape.

What’s your favourite cut for 2021?! Once you have worked that out, let’s do it! See you in salon…

Winning Winter Hair Tips

Sometimes winter weather can wreak havoc on our hair – between the cold outside, artificial heating inside, beanies, and the like – our hair can really be in a position of needing a little TLC.

Beauty by Australia cares about your hair so we’ve put together OUR TOP 10 TIPS to winning winter hair:

  1. Turn the hot water down in the shower – having the water too hot is not good for our hair and can actually dehydrate it.
  2. Shampooing your hair 2-3 times per week can prevent your hair and scalp from drying out. Why is this important? A dry scalp can lead to dandruff and scalp irritations which, in turn, can lead to increased hair fall.
  3. Use a hair oil treatment on a regular basis. Leave the treatment in for 20 minutes, rinse out and then shampoo and condition your hair as normal.
  4. Double up on conditioner during the cooler weather. If you live somewhere particularly cold you should consider using a deep conditioner or leave-in treatment.
  5. If you usually blow dry your hair make sure that you always use a heat protection product.
  6. When and where possible, allow your hair to air dry. Limit your use of hairdryers and flat irons.
  7. If you’re running short of time, blow dry your hair on a cool setting and use a pre-styling spray or leave-in conditioner.
  8.  Consider wearing a hat or beanie when you go out and never go outside with wet hair during winter – it’s not great for your overall health but it can always cause hair to freeze and break.
  9. Have your hair regularly trimmed to remove any dry and brittle ends.
  10. Eating a balanced diet and staying hydrated is good for you and your hair – it will go a long way towards your hair looking and feeling healthier.

Truth or Myth

MY HAIR JUST DOESN’T GROW

Guess what? There is some truth to this.

Hair has three phases of hair growth, the Anagen, Catagen and Telogen phase. Anagen is the active growth phase and up to 85% of the hair is in this phase and can last up to 8 years. Catagen is known as the transitional phase and Telogen the resting phase, (better known as the falling out phase.)

All hair has this same cycle, so if you feel you’re experiencing more hair loss than normal it’s more than likely that you just have more hair in the Telogen phase at that particular time.

This is why it’s not only a huge accomplishment for someone to have extremely long hair but it’s actually rare that the hair stays so long in either the Anagen or growing phase.

For the unlucky ones whose hair just won’t make it past the bra strap or sometimes even your shoulders, the sad truth is that it may never get there.

What it means for you is that your hair goes into the Telogen phase a little earlier than some.

SHOULD I ALTERNATE MY HAIRCARE ROUTINE?

Well, put simply, yes! Is your hair always the same? Most likely no! Like your skin, lifestyle changes affect your hair too.

Perhaps your hair is in better condition and you may not need something as heavy or it may go through a drier period and require products that are more hydrating. If it’s humid and sticky outside, perhaps consider products that have a thermal shield and a little more cleansing to clean the scalp of any excess oil or impurities.

One of the questions I get asked most frequently from my clients is have the ingredients changed? Most of the time it’s the hair that has changed not the product.

HAIR – THE DIRTIER THE BETTER WHEN SEEING YOUR STYLIST FOR A COLOUR

Ok guys I see this again and again in the salon, clients think it’s a good idea to come in smelling like you have just run a marathon after two nights of partying in a smoke-filled nightclub…eeek!

Yes, having oil on the scalp to avoid irritation is a good idea and yes, your natural oils do work beautifully to avoid unnecessary discomfort but when you come with hair that is too dirty, you compromise the colour.

These days we are using products that are much better for the skin and scalp, so if you want that fabulous blanket coverage and intense results, take it from me, less is more. Consider what is not an obvious amount of oil on the scalp and go with that, otherwise, your hairdresser will need to wash it and you’ve defeated the purpose.
