Believe it or not, spring is right around the corner. And, with longer, warmer days on the horizon, it’s the perfect time to freshen up your look with one of this year’s hottest hair style trends.
This season, cuts are taking on more shape. Think: blunt ends, strong lines, and choppy layers—the perfect complement to this year’s lived-in, low-maintenance hair color trend. Whether you want to make a serious statement or you’re looking for a low-commitment change, we’ve got the inspiration you need! Read on to see some of the hottest haircut trends for 2020.
The Bold Bob
Yes, bobs were everywhere in 2019, but this cut isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. The ever-popular bob is a staple for Spring 2020, thanks to its ability to “lighten up” your look. To keep it fresh, opt for an updated version of the classic Castle bob; this season, it’s all about being bold. Ask your stylist for a blunt, one-length chop, like Julianne Hough’s, which pairs perfectly with “rooty” color. If you prefer a little texture, ask for a chin-length bob with choppy layers for a tousled, face-framing effect.
The Modern Mullet
The word “mullet” is enough to scare anyone who lived through its heyday in the 80s, but don’t be alarmed! Yes, the mullet is making a comeback, but the new version of the look is less “business in the front, party in the back” and more “subtle shag meets mullet.” The key to getting the look is creating soft edges and movement, as well as tailoring the look to each client’s unique face shape.
For a bolder, stronger look, pair the modern mullet with cropped fringe cut away into short or long hair, like the cut Kesha’s been rocking recently.
The Super-Short Pixie
Thanks to stars like Zoe Kravitz and Ciara, who recently debuted ultra-short looks, the pixie is making a comeback. This season’s take on the classic cut is all about the close crop and minimal movement. Less classically feminine and more edgy, the Spring 2020 pixie is the perfect way to complement lived-in hair color and texture.
The Rounded Afro
2020 is all about embracing your natural texture—and there’s no better way to do that than by getting the right cut to enhance your curls. The rounded afro is a classic for a reason: it’s one of the best ways to keep curls healthy and gorgeous, and it’s incredibly flattering to nearly every face shape.
We love Teyonah Parris’s rounded afro paired with a deep side part and Lupita Nyong’o’s soft, halo-like afro. To add a bit more edge to your look, pair a rounded cut with pops of bright color or even a two-tone look, and always make sure to care for your curls with the right at-home routine.
