Thinking about how to do your hair next season? We all know that a haircut can change the way your face looks, but the ideal hairstyle can also allow you to play with edgy and classic changes to your look without cutting your hair if you don’t want to. Luckily, a number of celebrities are once again showing off the variety of trendy options available, which you can try out on your own hair: radically different styles, from the most natural to the most futuristic or retro options, from casual to slick.
Check out this selection of 10 hairstyles and choose the ones you’d like to try this season:
Sleek Top Knot
With a bit of styling cream and a handful of bobby pins, you can take your Top Knot from messy bun to elegant hairstyle, like this one worn by Kendall Jenner . Straighten your hair, brush it into a high ponytail, twist the hair around itself, and set it in place with French hair pins, a bit of hairspray, and voilà!
Don’t give up your relaxed beach waves
Her hair is her personal trademark. Although she loves having long hair, Blake Lively knows exactly how to choose the right hairstyle when she does change. To get this textured look, spray salt water all over your hair and scrunch it in sections.
You can try Not Your Mother's Beach Babe Texturizing Sea Salt Spray ($4.79 at Target).
Wear your short hair slicked back
Wear your short hair like Ruby Rose with a brushed-back bob. This hairstyle is a classic that you can repeat season after season. For a slicked back wet look, just apply hair wax or gel to completely dry hair and brush it back.
High ponytails: so hot right now
Jennifer Lopez is one of the artists that has appeared at more than one event with a high ponytail or bun. She sometimes wears these styles with a polished look while other times she separates out a few loose locks for a more relaxed look. Other celebrities who love this style include Ariana Grande and Rosalía . In the coming seasons you can accessorize this hairstyle with trendy pieces such as personalized pins, pins decorated with pearls, and ribbons.
Jazz up your ponytail with braids
We can’t talk about ponytails without talking about ponytail icon Ariana Grande . If you don’t want to wear a plain ponytail and accessories like pins and ribbons aren’t your thing, you can weave in a few small braids or even a half-up fishtail. Apply a texturizing spray to add volume if your ponytail needs it.
With a deep side part
This season, the key to wearing a long bob is going to be the deep side part. That’s how Sophie Turner wore her hair at the premiere of Dark Phoenix. Side-swept waves add dimension. To set your hair, use a bit of gel.
This is the ideal style to complement with pins and clips, which remain on trend this year.
Half Up, Half Down Look
The retro trend has also reached hairstyles. All you have to do is flip your ends out with a round brush as you dry your hair and pull half of your hair up. Set the piece covering the hair tie with bobby pins. Try out this style worn by some of the most powerful women in show business, including Kim Kardashian.
Space buns can be a full updo or a half-up half-down look
This is a hairstyle that has been gaining steam this season. It’s easy to do and only requires hair texturizer, bobby pins, and great brushing skills if you’d like to leave it polished, although you can also wear it messy à la Gigi Hadid.
Selena Gomez wearing an elegant coiled low bun
This list has been full of top knots and updos, but low buns are also a classic that is on trend. The best thing about them is that they are even easier to do. With just a few pins, you’ll secure the bun you made by twisting your hair at the nape of your neck.
For a more polished finish, apply wax or gel, brush it through, and make a ponytail. Twist the ponytail and secure it in place with bobby pins. Got bangs? Split them in the middle and create a slight wave with a hair drier.
Elisa Johnson and her curly hair
Elisa Johnson proved on social media that this '70s-inspired hairstyle is on trend: “I told @kalief_w [her stylist] to give me a #donnasummer.”
If you’d like to wear your hair curly and you already have wavy hair, all you have to do is brush it to add volume. You’ll need a boar bristle brush, as they are perfect for detangling.
From classic to edgy, the variety of styles out there this season will surely have you wondering which option is best for you. Have you already figured out which hairstyle is more you?
