There are always a few signs that the new year is coming. Planners stock the shelves. They move all the workout gear to the front of the store. You’re actually considering reading a book instead of binge-watching the new Netflix original. Life feels ever-so-slightly different this time of year. It’s more sanguine, less bleak. Everyone has a bit of cheer in them still, just before we enter the worst-weather days of the year. As you can tell, I’m a fan of the New Year season. There’s change everywhere—just how I like things. But arguably the biggest way to say “new year, new me” without having to actually mutter those cringey words? A new haircut.
This Baggy Dad style from Levi’s is a tried-and-true favorite our team swears by, made famous by an effortlessly cool fit and PJ-like comfort.
Our hair is more than just an accessory or a mop on top of our heads; it’s a way we express ourselves. It’s of-the-moment and often shares a bit about who you are to friends, family, strangers, and maybe even yourself (I’ve surprised even myself with some of the hair choices I’ve made over the years). In 2021, a haircut is all of this and more. It’s a way to shed the garbage that was last year… and when you put it that way, well, who wouldn’t make an appointment with their stylist immediately?
Whether you’re looking to make a major change, wanting to keep up with some trends, or want a little update for a new year, we’ve found 25 ideas to show your stylist for your next appointment.
