The 10 Best Haircut Trends for Women

We're finally getting to update our isolation hair — hallelujah! Expect plenty of COVID-19 changes at your local salon. Some shops are admitting one client at a time, spacing out seating and adding plexiglass barriers between stations; stylists are wearing face shields in addition to masks and gloves. Be advised: no bags, drinks or personal items allowed. It's a lean, clean in-and-out deal, so know the cut and style you want way before you arrive. Here are 10 hair trends that are ready to push your reset button.

1. The classic bob

This chin-grazing, one-length cut has come roaring back in first place. It's still the best solution for fine, thin hair. Chop stringy strands and do-nothing inches, and your hair will look instantly thicker and healthier. Let the cut provide a frame for your face. Blow-dry it sleek with a round brush like Lucy Liu, air-dry it for a more casual look like Naomi Watts, or add bangs to this sharp structured cut like Allison Janney for a fashionable tweak. You'll need trims every six to eight weeks to keep the line.

2. The blunt LOB

If you can't stand to let go of long hair completely (but should), compromise with a long bob — or LOB as it's known. This collarbone-grazing blunt cut happens to be the most universally flattering longish length for women 50-plus. (I promise it won't leave you feeling naked and hairless.) You can blow it smooth like Bo Derek, wave it like Viola Davis, or add full, flirty bangs and flick the ends up like Mary Steenburgen. Just ditch the blowout for a more casual look and heat-style for a sleek finish. It's plan B for those with thin, fine hair.
