Mullets, bangs, and so many layered shags—the ’70s are back, and they’re taking over hair. For summer 2021, we’ve got our eye on the haircut, style, and color trends that have swept both TikTok and celebrity hair studios: curtain bangs; sunshine-y shades; and volumized, Farrah Fawcett waves, courtesy of those hair rollers that’ve been sitting in the back of your bathroom cabinet for years. Below, the 12 popular hair trends to try out this summer.
Mullet Shag
Celebs love it. Instagram loves it. Now, it’s your turn to try a mullet out—and remember, the shaggier, the better.
Sunshine Blonde
Hit pause on your purple shampoo/toner/repeat cycle. Golden, honey blonde is quickly becoming a celeb favorite, and we couldn’t be happier.
Curtain Bangs
It’s the hair trend that just won’t quit, and we’re not mad about it. Curtain bangs are easier to style, give you more options, and can be grown out faster than shorter bangs. What’s not to love?
’60s Mod Bangs
Like a curtain bang, mod bangs are typically heavier and thicker, but styled across the forehead to sit right above the lashes—for that cool-girl smolder.
Strawberry Blonde
Red hair tones, from strawberry blonde to Queen’s Gambit red, are on track to trend now that Gigi Hadid is on board.
Farrah Fawcett Hair
Parted curtain bangs? Check. Waved or curled lengths? Check. Nicknamed after the actor and model, the Farrah Fawcett style just begs for long summer days spent roller skating and flipping through magazines.
Soft Pink
No other hair color says “I am ready to go out and have an amazing time” better than dreamy, baby pink.
