A new year brings with it an opportunity for fresh start – and that includes trying out something bold or classic like one of these 7 Trendy Hairstyles You Should Try in 2023.
2023 will see us see a range of cuts inspired by Rachel 2.0 to butterfly layers and Hailey Bieber-esque bobs; here are the ones to try in 2023.
1. Shaggy Layers
A layered shag with bangs is the ideal style for medium textured hair. It can be styled in multiple ways, from casual bob with choppy fringes to side-swept lob with face-framing layers – this hairdo will suit most face shapes while making an impressionful statement about who they are without wasting too much time on styling!
An autumn orange hue combined with a medium shag is the ideal way to add some subtle hues without going too bold. This look can easily be recreated and will look stunning against virtually every skin tone. Additionally, try more subdued tones such as purple or even creating a dip-dye effect to further highlight and define your haircut’s texture.
If you want a shag with more edge, you could try sporting a chin length wavy shag style. This look looks incredible on all complexions and can easily be styled using some hair spray to maintain that casual vibe – Joan Jett would probably approve! For something even more glamorous and eye-catching, add platinum blonde balayage color into the mix for added drama!
2. Shaggy Curls
A shag cut is an ideal solution for women with curly hair as it will lighten the strands without making them seem flat or dense. Antonia Wazir, Mizani global curl specialist and stylist at Bianchi’s Salon recommends getting one with lots of movement so as to add fullness and structure to wavy locks. “You can achieve this effect by keeping layers thin or thick while adding volume on top with choppy bangs,” according to Antonia. For an eye-catching ’90s style try middle parted shag with curtain bangs; which gives an instant 90s aesthetic.
Curly-haired women looking for an effortless messy shag hairstyle should opt for this version, featuring blonde highlights. It resembles something between a coifured Afro and vintage 70s shag, providing the perfect frame around their faces and adding a rock chic edge.
Women with natural long, wavy locks may want to opt for this medium-length shag haircut with light layered curls and an eye-catching fringe in front. Choppy layers help balance out your strands’ wavy texture and complement side part styles beautifully; golden balayage may add an extra burst of beauty!
3. Slicked Back Hair
Slick back hairstyles offer an easy and sophisticated option for those seeking to elevate their low-maintenance style. Strands are combed back into place using pomade or gel and secured using hairspray for an effect that’s both classic and cool.
Make this versatile haircut yours by parting your hair either down the center or side for a sleek, minimalist effect, or experiment with nontraditional parts such as zigzags or angles to add directionality and add more dimension to your slickked-back style. Pair slicked back hair with bold styling in the front, such as side-swept bangs as seen on Anitta for maximum impact.
Silver Foxes with longer locks should consider adding texture and dimension to their style by letting their strands fall loose in the back for a modern take on classic coifs or add flair by slicking back their top of head and styling with a tousled ponytail or spiky bun, such as Selma Blair does.
Slicked-back hairstyles can give older gents an instantly on-trend and polished appearance, and Fitzsimons recommends applying lightweight smoothing serum to damp hair before combing straight back and locking into place using high-hold hairspray for a flawless, glossy finish.
4. Butterfly Layers
If you prefer wavy hair, try out this look. It is one of the hottest haircuts for women with long locks and will instantly give your look a fashionable and trendy makeover. The chest-length layered shag with curtain bangs will emphasize your cheekbones while emphasizing the forehead area.
Butterfly layer cuts offer an ideal option for long hair enthusiasts who wish to keep their strands longer, offering layers of various lengths interwoven throughout their strands and creating plenty of texture and volume. Their stunning smoky brown shade shows off beautiful highlights while being low maintenance style to wear this year.
TikTok influencers have brought this hairstyle to our attention and we love its modern updates on classic vintage styles like bobs and blunt fringes. If you’re searching for an effortless yet chic haircut to style at home this is one of 2023’s trendiest choices.
Another great alternative for those not looking to go too short is a midi hair cut, similar to that seen on celebrities such as Kiernan Shipka of Hollywood who wear their locks with layers that give a nod to the 90s.
5. Mid-Length Layers
For an elegant yet simple style, try medium-length layered hair with bangs. It will create a timeless classic perfect for special events; use curling irons or flat irons to achieve this classic look and complete it!
Layers can add movement, texture, and volume to your hair – this medium-length layered haircut proves it. With long layers that fall past your shoulders to frame your face perfectly. Plus, with this look’s vibrant colors you could also add highlights for added vibrancy!
This choppy shoulder-length layered haircut is ideal for women looking for a professional and sleek style with minimal maintenance required. Featuring lots of choppy layers to create a built-in style and make waking up easier, this cut can also be combined with balayage highlights for an authentic finish.
6. Shaggy Layers with Bangs
A layered shag hairstyle with bangs is an eye-catching style that never goes out of fashion. Perfect for women who prefer short but non-blanket cuts or would like an additional bit of length in their locks, this look can add dimension and character to any overall look. This look can also work with any color of hair for added flair!
If you want an effortless style, layered shag with wavy or curly bangs is a fantastic choice to show off natural texture while complementing most face shapes. Add highlights for added dimension!
Permed mullets are another low-maintenance style. This popular trend has been around since 2023 and it continues to gain steam today. This haircut features short sides and back with longer hair on top that’s brushed back to create a sleek, polished look.
If you’re ready for something dramatic, why not experiment with a voluminous shag with slicked back hair? This fashionable style has been seen on several stars and celebrities; perfect for anyone wanting to stand out. Additionally, this look helps express individuality while remaining classic.
7. Shaggy Curls with Bangs
For those with thick curls, a shag haircut may be just what’s needed to manage their volume. It produces fullness at the crown and frames your face for maximum flattering effects – making this style suitable for all facial structures. Blonde highlights can add an eye-catching pop of color; Lizzo’s beachy balayage looks incredible against her loose coils and long curtain bangs; or you could try switching things up by switching up parts to create an edgier style!
Curly shags can be worn at any length, though women with naturally curly locks will find that medium-length cuts work best. Longer layers produce a fuller and more dramatic finish for their shag.
Wavy or curly shags with choppy bangs add volume and dimension to any face shape, drawing attention to your features and brightening up your complexion. If you don’t feel bold enough for bold hues, opt for light shades of brown or blonde hair color which will still frame your features while providing some contrast between hair colour choices and your complexion.
If you want a trendy hairstyle that will show off your luscious curls, this shoulder-length curly shag with fringe is an excellent option. Its middle part and curly bangs give this retro style its retro charm.
