2020 brought our stylist all kinds of new ideas for low-maintenance looks, festive colors, and cuts. With salons reopened and our return to a more “normal” life, we have predicted new and exciting hair trends for 2021 inspired by our fellow stylists at Bottleblonde76 salon in Sarasota.

1) Low maintenance & natural textures

The pandemic brought back the natural hair trend in a big way, and this one shows no sign of slowing down. It’s no wonder that we are looking for quick, easy, and intrinsic styles. After all, we are busy people. Embrace your true beauty and show off your natural curls and textures. Skip the flat iron and toss in your favorite frizz serum instead.

2) Subtle color combinations

Dimensional hair is popping up all over our feeds. We are talking multi-colored looks blended harmoniously to create a natural yet dimensional style that can be accomplished regardless of your preferred color. We mend 2-3 shades to create depth for this flawless style.

3) Accessories, Accessories, Accessories

We love to make any style pop with bold accessories! Toss up your locks with your favorite scrunchie or tie your braid with a scarf. Oversized headbands are also resurfacing for bold added color. Want to add a subtle touch? Pin in some pastel clips or creatively place visible bobby pins with a minimalistic touch.

4) Shag is back

This beloved 80’s favorite is taking center stage. Why? It is such a versatile look. Add shaggy bangs or go all the way and try a shag mullet! Don’t just take our word for it; check out Miley Cyrus’ or Rihanna’s!

5) Glassy Gloss

You don’t have to be a Kardashian to have glass-like glossy locks. A healthy and strong shine makes any color or cut pop. If you have trouble achieving this trend naturally, ask your stylist to recommend their favorite treatment or toner. We are experts, so do not fret; we know your natural locks need to thrive in this toasty Florida weather. Visit us in beautiful downtown Sarasota, and we will be your new favorite hair salon!
