Let’s face it: 2020 was awful. From hair salon and school closures to toilet paper and hand sanitizer shortages, it was a chapter that the entire world wants to leave in the past. While the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic have been devastating on many levels, the anxiety and sense of isolation prove to be lingering. If the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic has left you aching for a dramatic change (or a sense of pre-Covid normalcy), look no further than a new hairstyle as we move forward in 2021.

Despite the extensive period of time that many hair salons around the globe were forced to close their doors, there was certainly no lack of inspiration for new hairdos during lockdown. Instead, fashionistas banned together through the aid of social media platforms to share their quarantine D.I.Y. styles and as hair salons slowly began to reopen, there was a surge of daring new looks. Discover some of the trendiest post-lockdown hairstyles for a fresh new look:

1. Au Natural

After an entire year of limited contact with the outside world, many used this time to embrace the natural texture and color of their hair. Paired with the initial inability to visit a hair salon in South Florida and looming concerns of a second quarantine, many locals are still opting to keep their style low-maintenance. As a bonus, this option only requires minimal trims and can give your locks a much needed break from damaging treatments. If you want to avoid frequent trips to the hair salon and haven’t yet made the switch to a natural look, opt for a simple cut without layers and ask your stylist to match your natural hue.

2. Long Layers

If your hair grew to extra long lengths during quarantine but you find the all-one-length style a bit bland, consider adding some long layers for dimension. This will allow you to keep the length while making a subtle change to your look. This cut also pairs well with balayage or baby lights if you are looking for a low-maintenance way to add in fresh color.

3. Cheekbone Bob

Bobs never go out of style, they simply change from year to year and even season to season. In the post-Covid world, the A-line cheekbone length bob is a simple and edgy way to rock short locks. If you want a virtually maintenance free style, keep it sleek and one-length or add a blunt fringe to add a unique flare.

4. Face Framing Bangs

Bangs are one of those trends that people either can’t stand or can’t get enough of. The face framing style aims to satisfy both of these groups. Long enough to tuck behind the ears, this fringe is flattering as it grazes the jawline yet doesn’t require the long-term commitment of its shorter counterparts. Be sure to emphasize the jawline length when you are speaking to your stylist at a local Davie hair salon.
