Here's a great piece of news for those who have texture in their hair - now is the time to embrace it and really play it up. This means that for those of us with fine, coarse, curly, or even frizzy hair, texture is trending and there is no need to try to tame it.

Now that's not to say you shouldn't use products to help with styling; it's just about not flattening your hair or covering up that texture. Instead, look for products that enhance such things as your curls. This can take a bit of trial and error, as not all products work the same for each person.

Glossy Tresses Are Proving Popular

This trend is stylish regardless of your hair type or length. Glossy tresses are proving to be quite popular right now. Think hair that shines and looks incredibly healthy. So, how can you achieve this look? There are actually glossing services that you can go for, where a treatment is applied to your hair, regardless of the color. There are also at-home hair glossing treatments you can use that will either prolong the results from the hairstylist, or allow you to do it yourself.

It's Time to Embrace the Layered Look

In terms of trending haircuts, layers are playing a big part across the board. Layers can be added to any cut and really help to make it look modern and bouncy. It gives movement to the hair, helps to add body and volume, and can also frame features on your face depending on the layers.

There are long and short layers, choppy layers, and those that are more natural. Your stylist can help advise you on which would look best with your hair type and face shape. For those looking for a hair salon that is always up on the latest trends, the hair salon Zinke Hair Studio is well worth checking out. They can certainly help you get that layered look that is so trendy. The salon specializes in such trends as bob cuts, highlights, Balayage, and so much more. They also offer treatment services such as hair straightening, perms, and extensions.

Make a Statement with a Short Blunt Cut

If you're ready to make a real statement and pick something very trendy at the moment, then a blunt cut is the way to go. This can be pretty shocking if you currently have long hair, but shocking doesn't have to be a bad thing. A blunt cut that sits just above the shoulders can look very stylish, sophisticated, elegant, and youthful.

The great news is that styling a blunt cut at home is relatively simple. For those that have a bit of wave or curl to your hair, a straight iron will give you those straight blunt tresses that the style shows off.

Beachy Waves are Always Trending

Here's a hairstyle that always seems to be fashionable, and that is beachy waves. Think low maintenance, natural, free-flowing hair that looks effortless. Of course, for those who try to get the beach wave look, there will be some work required. It's all about the right styling products and often the help of a hot tool such as a waving iron, wand, or large-barrel curling iron.

If you do need to use heat to achieve this style, be sure you are pre-treating your hair with a heat-protectant. This will help to limit the amount of heat damage your hair sustains.

It's Time to Rock the Bangs

This brings us to the last trend to highlight in 2021, which is bangs. That's right, it's time to rock that ‘60s bold, thick bang! If you cut the bangs straight across your face, you'll find that all the attention will then be on your eyes.

It doesn’t matter which of these hairstyles you choose to embrace, they are certain to make it possible to usher in a bold new trendy look in 2021.
