7 HAIRSTYLES THAT HAVE NEVER GONE OUT OF STYLE
All generations like to pride themselves as the ones with the most innovative ideas. As young people, we feel we’re the pioneers of the latest fashion trends. But there really aren’t any new ideas anywhere. A lot of what we have are copies or reimaginations of old trends other generations have rocked too.
Some of what we refer to as the “latest trends” or “latest hairstyles” have existed for years before us. So, in this blog post, we bring you seven hairstyles that have never gone out of style.
- Pixie Cut
Pixie cuts have been iconic for a very long time. This was one of the hairstyles that first challenged the Western long hair beauty standard, according to Byrdie. Today, it remains one of the most preferred hairstyles. It has been rocked by celebrities from different generations like Princess Diana, Katy Perry, Zendaya, Demi Moore, and Ursula Corbero.
One thing we love about this style is its diversity. It is a style all hair types can work with. Whether you want your pixie cut curly, polished, or choppy, you can never go out of trend with this hairstyle.
- Afro
In the 1960s, with the Civil Rights Movement, black people started taking away the shame associated with their natural hair, and they embraced its beauty. Since then, you can be sure to see one or two gorgeous heads of afro on the streets every day.
This hairstyle is achieved by coiffing afro-textured hair (types 3 and 4) upwards and outwards in all its natural glory. Nina Simone wore this hairstyle a lot during the 1970s. Present-day celebrities like Yvonne Orji and Tracee Ellis Ross usually wear their hair in this style.
- Shag
This hairstyle is characterized by a lot of texture, layers around the crown, and choppy ends. It is casual, effortless, and very versatile. This hairstyle has worked for different hair types and lengths since the 70s and we can’t get enough of it.
One thing we love about shags is that it draws attention to the wearer’s eyes. They can take different forms. You can decide to add bangs to your shags like Gabrielle Union. You can also choose to make it mussy or lived-in. Celebrities like Halle Berry and Alexa Chung also wear their hair in this style.
- Bob
Bobs have existed for years and they still continue to be relevant. We mean, what’s not to like? There are no limits to the forms Bobs can take. According to the owner and creative director of Hare and Bone, Sam Burnett, this style is the most versatile of all times. He said two people can wear this hairstyle and make it look totally different.
One of the most popular forms of this hairstyle is the French bob but there are other options available. You could try a wavy bob like Paula Patton if you want a vintage look. Another option is the chin-length bob like Lucy Boynton.
- Fringe
Fringes are classic and chic. They have been worn for years, and we believe they shall forever be relevant in the hair community and beauty industry. They too are versatile and they work with all hair types. All you have to do is choose a fringe style that suits your facial features.
If you’re that person that finds messy hair looks appealing, then we recommend feathery fringe. This style makes you look like you got out of bed looking that way (in a cute way!). Celebrities like Zendaya have worn this hair.
For someone insecure about their forehead, we’ll recommend blunt bangs. This hairstyle covers up the forehead without making it obvious or weird. It is also inexpensive and quite easy to maintain. This is Naomi Campbell’s signature look.
- Buzz Cut
Buzz cuts are one of the easiest and less stressful hairstyles of all time. They have been worn in the past by bold people, both men, and women. In the modern-day, it gets revived every day by celebs like
What we love about this hairstyle are the different choices it allows you to make. You can decide to go for a buzz cut induction; the shortest buzz cut ever. People like Halsey and Sigourney Weaver wear this hairstyle.
If you do not want your hair really short, you can opt for a buzz-cut burr like Carolyn Malachi.
- Long Layers
For years now, people with long hair have worn their hair in long layers. This hairstyle can be achieved with any hair type, as long as the hair is long. If you have short hair and would like to try this style, fret not. You can get it by buying a long wig.
One of the timeless and beautiful versions of this hairstyle is the naturally curly long layered hair. Celebrities like Beyoncé have worn their hair like this and it is absolutely gorgeous.
