Changing Up Your Hair In 2021 — By Cristina Christensen
More than ever before, women have an important place in society. For many women across the world, looking after our physical appearance is paramount, we want to be able to look in the mirror and feel confident with what we see reflected back at us. Aesthetic care is something that makes many of us happy!
It’s annoying for women when we have a great outfit on and our make-up is looking perfect, but we are dissatisfied with our hair colour, haircut or feel that our hair looks frizzy and won’t do as we want it to, no matter how many products we apply! How about we start dying our roots every 3 months? Those roots that started to grow out until you no longer knew how to hide them with a fancy hairstyle? Why not take a trip to the salon and get a fresh new haircut to get rid of the ends which are dry after months of being forgotten about?
Why don’t you start the year with a new project? What’s that new project, I hear you say! It’s looking after yourself — make 2021 the year of self-care!
These days, cosmetology lets us play around with all kinds of colours, styles, textures and volumes without losing the quality of your hair.
Let’s take a look at some of the trends that are going to define 2021, and you can decide which ones are suited to you and your hair!
Chocolate tones
If you have dark hair already and you don’t really want to make any drastic changes to the colour, you could opt for a rich chocolate brown. As well as being a colour that suits practically every woman, the colours and shades which are available can vary from light to dark, cold to warm, so there’s something to go with every woman’s look.
Looking after dyed hair is absolutely imperative. You should aim to hydrate it at least one every 15 days with a hydrating mask, as this will allow your hair to keep its shine for much longer.

Balayage
Balayage is a French technique which was widely used during the 90s, and which came back in full force a few years ago. I expect it is a trend which will continue to transform people’s hairdos in 2021, too! There are many ways of doing balayage which allow you to choose from different shades and colours, always remembering that you must have a consultation with your hairdresser so that they can let you know the quality and texture of your hair, helping you to make your decision. If your hair is healthy enough to receive balayage, I’m certain that you won’t regret it!
The famous Chanel Bob
Of course we can’t forget about the Bob cut, often referred to as the Chanel Bob! This haircut arrived in 1920, and was popularised in the 60s by the beauty icon Vidal Sassoon, and it’s never gone out of fashion since. In 2021 we will see variations of this cut from long bobs to short bobs and everything in between.
Don’t be afraid to make daring choices, but always confer with a capable professional first who can help you show your beauty off to the world. You’re free to have whatever hair you want to have. Transform yourself! We’re in a new era.
