Sporty Headbands:
Sporty headbands are experiencing a major revival, thanks in part to TikTok. These aren't the plain jane headbands of the past. Today's sporty headbands come in a variety of styles; thick, thin, patterned, you name it! They truly are the perfect accessory to complement any outfit and hairstyle.
Influencers such as Matilda Djerf and Bella Hadid are among those leading the resurgence of this trend. Pairing sporty headbands with everything from casual loungewear to chic street-style outfits, it really proves the versatility of the humble headband. Functional as well as stylish, they are perfect for keeping hair off your face during workouts or on windy days, but they also serve as a stylish hair accessory that can elevate a simple hair look. Whether you're running errands, heading to the gym, or just want to add a sporty touch to your outfit, these headbands are a quick and easy way to make a style statement.
The C Cut:
The C Cut is a hair trend that's been sweeping TikTok, earning its spot as one of the top styles to watch in 2023. What sets the C Cut apart from traditional haircuts is the unique shaping at the ends of the hair. Rather than a blunt or straight-across cut, the hair is cut in a distinct 'C' shape, creating a soft, rounded silhouette that's super flattering.
Modern, yet effortless, this style is a refreshing change from the classic straight cut, adding a soft touch to the hair. Versatile, the C Cut works on various hair lengths and types, from long, flowing locks to short, chic bobs, and is as suited to straight hair as it is to wavy or curly textures. Want to maintain length while adding movement and dimension? The curvature of the cut can create the illusion of volume, making it a great option for those with fine or thin hair. As for styling, the C Cut lends itself to a multitude of looks. For some inspiration, check out this TikTok video showcasing different ways to wear the C Cut. Whether you prefer a sleek, straight style or soft, tousled waves, the C Cut provides a chic and stylish foundation to build upon.
Micro Bobs
A bold departure from the traditional bob, micro bobs are a sassy and audacious alternative that's been having its moment on TikTok. A significantly shorter cut, typically ending at the ear level or even higher, it’ll give anyone a fresh edge. What makes the micro bob extra appealing is its versatility. You can tailor it to your personal style by opting for a blunt, geometric cut, a textured bob with razored ends, or an asymmetrical micro bob for a more dramatic look. The style possibilities are endless too - think messy waves for an edgy look, sleek and straight for a sophisticated vibe, or even incorporate braids for a boho touch.
Butterfly Haircut
We’re throwing things back to the 90s with the butterfly cut. Making a trendy comeback on TikTok, this unique cut is characterised by layers that flick out, mimicking the wings of a butterfly. The beauty of this haircut lies in its adaptability - you can wear it straight and sleek for a classic look or add curls and volume for a more dramatic effect. It's also incredibly customizable - you can add bangs, alter the length of the layers, or even combine it with other trends like the C Cut or the Wolf Cut.
Wolf Cut
Are you even on TikTok if you haven’t heard of the wolf cut? A hybrid of the iconic shag cut and a mullet, the wolf cut combines the layered, tousled look of a shag with the 'business in the front, party in the back' ethos of a mullet. The result is a versatile, edgy cut that works for various hair types and lengths. The wolf cut was made for those with shoulder-length hair, as showcased in our blog on Shaggy Looks for Shoulder Length Styles. But whether your hair is straight, wavy, or curly, the wolf cut can add a sense of movement and texture that's effortlessly cool.
Piecey Pixies
The pixie cut has always been a statement hairstyle, but the piecey pixie takes it up a notch. This variation involves adding textured, choppy layers to the traditional pixie, creating a dynamic and edgy look. The piecey pixie is a testament to the idea that short hair can be just as versatile and exciting as long hair, offering countless styling opportunities, from tousled and messy to sleek and straight, or even adorned with bangs.

Super Long Hair & Long Layers
A timeless trend, super long hair enhanced with extra-long layers celebrates both length and volume. Provides a dramatic canvas for various hairstyles, from beachy waves and braids to sophisticated updos it truly is a dream.
However, maintaining super long hair does require some extra care. Regular trims are essential to keep the ends healthy, while deep conditioning treatments can help to maintain the hair's moisture and shine. If you're considering adding length but are hesitant to commit, hair extensions can be a great option. For more on this, check out our blog on How to Choose Between Wigs, Weaves, and Hair Extensions.
Micro Bangs
Shorter and wispier than traditional bangs, micro bangs are an edgier choice. These baby bangs sit well above the brows, creating a bold statement that instantly frames the face. This bang style works with virtually any hair length, from pixies to long locks, adding a fresh vibe. Popular TikTok creators and celebs like Billie Eilish have been rocking the trend giving us major hair inspo/envy.
Dramatic Side Parting
The dramatic side part is a simple, yet transformative hair trend that's gaining traction on TikTok. To create this look, part your hair further to the side than you usually would, and then style as desired. This parting adds volume and drama, making it a great choice for straight, wavy, or curly hair. Bonus: It's also a quick fix for those 'bad hair' days.
Italian Bob
In the land of easy, breezy, and effortlessly chic hairstyles we have the Italian Bob. This TikTok trend is all about celebrating your hair's natural movement and texture. The Italian bob showcases a chunky, blunt end and subtle layers scattered throughout the mid-lengths, which not only creates a beautiful shape but also brings out your hair's natural wave or curl.
The secret sauce of the Italian bob lies in its innate ability to reduce heat damage. That's right, this is a hairstyle that lets you embrace your natural texture, diminishing the need for heat styling tools. Flip it to the side for a full-bodied, voluminous look, and the best part? It's as low maintenance as it gets, perfect for those busy mornings or unexpected video calls.
