Amidst the COVID-19 induced lockdowns, people of all ages have found themselves donning a newfound appreciation for regular hair salon visits. Whether you have stood in front of the mirror tediously hacking off your own overgrown bangs or have found yourself rocking a messy bun for months (while eagerly awaiting the reopening of your local salon), you aren’t alone. For those daring enough to take matters into our own hands; however, virtual meetings and social media platforms have quickly become a hairstyle debut platform equal to the runways of Paris during Fashion Week. Not surprisingly, celebrities have taken over the show with some awe-inspiring looks to spice up your quarantine life:
If the drastic change in your daily life has inspired you to make an equally dramatic change to your look, consider adding streaks of a vibrant pink color. Celebrities like Anna Camp, Faith Hill, Taylor Swift and Dua Lipa all debuted pink hues during the worldwide lockdown; prompting some to call it the official quarantine hair color. The bold, edgy and sophisticated look can be done with any color but pink will certainly liven up your next Zoom meeting.
Insta-Glamorous
Another popular hairstyle showcased during the COVID-19 lockdown is the stunning red “come hither” look sported by Iggy Azalea. The fiery red color paired with the classic side part and elegant downward spiral of the length is feminine and yet edgy at the same time. The mid-length status also makes the style incredibly versatile with the ability to sport polished spiral curls for your next Instagram photo shoot or a messy bun for your next television binge session.
Short and Sweet
While some celebrities saw the lockdown as an opportunity to glam up their look, others thought it was a fabulous time to minimize their day to day hair care regime. Musician Pink, for instance, embraced an ultra-short and edgy hairdo that requires zero maintenance. This minimalist look is also a fantastic option for those with severely damaged locks who need to cut the dead weight.
Keeping it Real
Another celebrity hairstyle trend noted during the pandemic was going au natural. Those who are typically seen with extensions, straightened locks or otherwise highly styled hair, such as Jessica Simpson, Tamera Mowry and Teddi Mellencamp, ditched the styling and embraced their hair’s natural look. Whether you decide to embrace your natural locks because of a lack of salon appointment availability or simply because you’re spending all of your time at home, it is a fantastic way to change up your look and give your hair a much needed break from products and styling tools.
Although the COVID-19 lockdown has come with its own set of challenges and frustrations, it has also proved to be a time of relaxation and self-discovery for many. Whether you opt to use this time to experiment with your hairstyle, catch up with your favorite television characters or rediscover the great outdoors, keep in mind that you are not alone!
