A brand new year always calls for an extravagant change in our lives – the crisp, fresh air of January emboldens us to leave behind all that’s old and tired, and embark on something unfamiliar and exciting.
One of the best ways to embrace a new change for a woman? Trying a lovely yet daring new haircut, of course. The right haircut has the power to transform us, to allow us the confidence to step into a new identity and make it our own, to leave an outdated version of ourselves in the past.
So if you’ve been getting bored with your mane, why not start 2022 out with a bang by trying one of these cuts?
Get bangs.
While most of us have a traumatic experience involving bangs, typically in our childhood or young teen years, it’s time we give them a try again now that we’re grown up. Bangs offer us a big change without having to lose much length, but still set us apart, and look downright lovely. There’s a reason Zooey Deschanel, the queen of rocking bangs, has stuck with the look for so long. Just make sure to pick the right fringe for your face shape!
Dye it.
Alright, so it’s technically not a cut. But maybe your change needn’t involve a dramatic cut, but instead, a new hue. Whether you decide to go for an icy platinum blonde, a fiery red, an elegant shade of ebony, something even more outside of the box, or just add some highlights to your mane, few things say new year, new me like a new color.
Rock a pixie.
While a pixie is perhaps the most daring hair transformation for a woman, it also has the ability to be the most rewarding. Getting a pixie is an undeniably bold move, but also has the power to set us apart from the crowd, draw attention to our face, and accentuate our femininity like nothing else. Just ask Audrey Hepburn.
Get a short bob.
Ah, the bob: a whimsical yet practical, modern yet classic, young yet mature look. It’s not hard to see why the bob has been a favorite for so long – it allows us enough versatility when it comes to styling, but keeps our locks out of the way.
Try a textured lob.
If you’re not quite ready to jump into the upkeep of a pixie or demands of styling bangs, but still need something to freshen up your look, a textured lob is the perfect cut for you. There’s enough length leftover that most hairstyles are still possible, but still somehow offering a sense of newness.
Keep your length & add face-framing layers.
Some of us aren’t ready to let go of any significant length – but that doesn’t mean we can’t embrace a little change! Adding some short, face-framing layers that look like grown-out curtain bangs will update your look without too much commitment. Let the layers fall out of any updo for a messy yet lovely look.
