5 Flattering Haircut Trends That Are About to Blow Up This Winter

Posted on by Kim Williams
Hairdos go in and out of style, and you don’t want to be caught wearing an old summer cut ready for the beach when the temperatures start to bring a chill in the air. Not only is winter’s air colder, it’s also a lot less humid leaving your hair to lay differently. In addition to these practical considerations, remember that when it’s cold outside, you’ll probably be wearing a hat or scarf leaving only a portion of your hair to be visible when outside. Make sure what peeks out from beneath a beanie is fit for winter. From curtain bangs to shabby layered shags to very short pixies or all one length, hints of the 1970’s return with fabulous new twists. This winter there are five flattering haircut trends that are about to blow up in a good way.

Slide 5 of 16: We know, we know - bangs for Winter, so revolutionary. But Toth said, "It's an easy way to show a statement with your hair even while wearing a hat. There's also a really practical reason. In the Summer, people don't get bangs because they don't like their hair resting on a potentially 'dewy' forehead because it would make their hair damp and frizzy. But in the Winter, there's no risk of a dewy forehead so it's only natural to go for the bang. This season's style is less severe, like a relaxed curtain bang."

Regardless of how they are worn, bangs make a statement. When worn in the heat of summer, they may tend to trap moisture between your forehead and your locks leaving you to swelter and your bangs to curl or wilt. Cooler temperatures, however, allow this cropped top and front cut to be worn in style. This winter, it’s curtain bangs that are the trend. Curtain bangs are split down the middle and gently pushed back to the sides as if they are framing your face to make its big stage debut.

One size never fits all unless, of course, it’s your hair. This winter, one-length cuts are all the trend. Regardless of whether you have long locks, mid-length, or a chin-length bob, keeping your hair all one length is a very popular up and coming style. This one-length cut also looks great underneath a winter hat or resting on a scarf.

Pixies may be thought of as more of a steamy warm weather look, but a super short Pixie is going to be hot this winter. No need to worry about static electricity or messing up your hair style with a winter hat. A super short Pixie is a great cut for any season.
