Choosing a new hairstyle isn't something you should take lightly. After all, it’s one of the first things people notice about others. If you’re wondering, the best hairstyle is one that complements your natural beauty and personality — not one that detracts. And ideally, you should be willing to put in some work in researching and maybe even experimenting with a few hairstyles to find the perfect one for you. Lucky you: You’re in the right place to learn about six cute hair trends taking over summer 2021.

What Hairstyles Are in for 2021?

Traditionally, the warmer weather that comes with summer has mostly been met with shorter and lighter locks. However, with quarantine and all that, 2020 was a crazy year, and there’s a new set of stylish and bold hairstyles expected to take over summer 2021. Here is a roundup of 6 hair trends that are already making waves on the web.

Curly Shags

If you’re inspired by 70s hair trends, a shag cut may be just what you’re looking for. When you have curly hair, a shag cut can add volume and movement, which is great if you also have fine hair. And if you want a more refined look with this cut, a good curl cream can work wonders. 

Blunt Bangs

Blunt bangs are one of the hottest hairstyles you can expect to see this summer. Most cute hairstyle enthusiasts like blunt bangs because they are trendy and can look good on almost anyone. However, to get the best out of this hairstyle in the summer heat, be sure to have a good supply of dry hair shampoo to help you prevent oil buildup.

Crimped Hair Waves 

Crimped hairstyles may awaken some memories of your teen years. The crimped hair waves style is one you may want to try if you like to stand out as sexy, ultra-feminine, and of course, stylish.

To achieve this style, you’ll need a good crimper or waver to get the perfect S-shape to complement your features and personality. Also, don't forget about a good hairspray to ensure that your hair remains in place.

Long Layers

Long hair looks great with long layers, so this is something you may want to try if your hair has grown out due to delayed trips to the salon. There are several beautiful and chic long-layered hairstyles that you can rock in summer 2021. From a multi-layered mix to long V-cut layers to waist-length hair with textured layers, there’s a style for everyone who has long locks. 

Experimental Colors

Bright colors have been on-trend for the better part of 2020, and there’s no denying they will continue reigning supreme. Now is the time to add a little (or a lot!) of your favorite bright hue to your hair. There are so many options available, and you don’t have to commit to a new color until your hair grows out. Depending on the type of dye used, you could have your old hair color back within a week. 

Curtain Bangs

Curtain bangs have remained trendy for over a decade and are a hot pick for summer 2021. This style works really well if you’re trying to grow out your bangs without sacrificing style. Not sure what curtain bangs are? Think long bangs that are parted in the middle and frame each side of your face — you know, like curtains! Ariana Grande, Jameela Jamil and Zooey Deschanel are all celebs who have been seen sporting curtain bangs. 

Choose the Hairstyle That Suits You

The world is full of wonderful hairstyles, and choosing the best one for you can be daunting. However, as long as you take the time to find a hairstyle that matches your personality and complements your features, you’ll be good to go!
