What hair trends did everyone ditch in 2020?
As far as hair trends in 2020, it was a year of rapid cycling.
For a while people even wondered if it wassafe to get a haircut.
Want to find out which hair trends were given the boot after 2019?
Here are thehair trends everyone ditched in 2020.
We spoke toGhanima Abdullah, a hairstylist and cosmetology specialist from Chicago.
She explained that the need to wear a face mask is what caused people to ditch the trend.
“Imagine looking like a hairy monster peeking over a mask…not cute,” she added.
A good alternative is much shorter bangs, according to Amy Abramite, the creative director ofMaxine Salonin Chicago.
“They sit well above the eyebrows, bring up the face, and expose the eyes.”
That definitely sounds like a good alternative to the “hairy monster” look!
However, it seems that 2020 saw the once up-and-coming trend going solidly out of fashion.
Plus, it’s not exactly a natural hairdo.
No wonder people ditched the trend!
Amy Abramite, the creative director ofMaxine Salonin Chicago explained why the multicolored look didn’t survive into 2020.
“However, it is not an easy style to pull off for the faint of heart.”
Needless to say, it’s not exactly cool to have “Karen” hair this year!
As Amy Abramite ofMaxine Salonin Chicago explained toThe List, the look isn’t really that flattering either.
“This [style] feels weighty and can drag the face down,” she said.
The standard undershave got ditched in 2020
The undershave has always been a super edgy hair trend.
In 2017, the style was described byGlamouras the ideal spring look for the “unexpected badass.”
Yikes, definitely not a great look when we’re all having a harder time getting to the salon!
Instead of opting for a razor-sharp undershave, Abramite recommended a more feminine style.
Wondering which option is best for you?
Here a list ofthe undercut hairstyles you’ll be asking for all 2020.
In 2014,Voguepointed out that everyone from Rihanna toKylie Jennerseemed to be going prematurely grey.
But, because 2020 found us in the middle of a pandemic, healthy-looking hair became much more popular.
Rather than going silver, she recommends choosing a bright, bold color instead.
Here’swhat hydrogen peroxide really does to your hair.
“We’ve been looking at them way too long.”
Shelly Aguirre, a stylist fromMaxine Salonin Chicago, agrees with De Marco’s assessment.
“Blunt straight hair can look like a broomstick and have zero movement,” she revealed toThe List.
Instead, she recommended getting a few layers around the face to give more movement to the hair.
According toGlamour, Aguirre has a point.
No festivals in 2020?
This festival-friendly look consists of two buns at the top of the head, like amodern dayPrincess Leia!
That’s the consensus atMaxine Salonin Chicago, say stylists Amy Abramite and Shelly Aguirre.
“Bedsides, all concerts are streamed now, and no one sees you.”
Aguirre commented that the look should probably be left in the past, or with the younger generation.
“Or if you’re 8.”
We have to say, she has a good point!
So instead of space buns, here arethe top teen hairstyles you’re going to be seeing in 2020.
The look came into fashion after it was worn byJennifer Anistonon the sitcom.
To this day, it’s still being worn (viaThe Telegraph).
Furthermore, the look doesn’t exactly allow for versatility.
“It’s permanently cut into the style.”
Interestingly enough,the haircut Jennifer Aniston regrets the most isn’t what you think.
“Three inches of black roots, under beige blonde?
Over, let it go,” he said decisively.
“Have your roots blurred,” he suggested, “or tone the blonde down darker.”
Shelly Aguirre, a stylist fromMaxine Salonin Chicago, also weighed in on the topic.
We have to say, Aguirre makes a great point!
However, in 2020, it may be time to ditch this antiquated hair trend.
“It’s not cute out and about,” she continued.
In 2019,The Guardianalso noted that tight curls were becoming more and more popular once again.
However, in 2020, the poodle perm was toned down to a more modern and beachy look.
This look is called a body wave perm.
Sounds like this more subtle option is here to stay, while poodle perms have definitely had their day.
AsVoguenoted in April of 2020, the buzz cut was trending!
“A self-cut quarantine style is not going to last the long haul,” she shared withThe List.
“It was only meant to get you over the hump until you could visit the salon.”
