5 Haircuts You Should Consider This Winter

Nothing perks up a chilly day quite like a hot hairstyle. As winter approaches, it’s time to retire your salt spray and brace yourself for a fun new chop, whether bold or subtle.

Some of our fave celebs have given us major #hairgoals to live up to this year, so here are five of our most beloved styles of the season.

Textured Bangs


This style means adding cute, piecey bangs to your look to play up your hair texture, whatever it may be. For the perfect length, your fierce fringe should skim your brows. It looks best when styled with loose, tousled waves which totally amps up your overall style. Celebs such as Kerry Washington and Naomi Campbell have been spotted with this style.

Contoured Cut


Yes, you really can incorporate contouring into everything nowadays, including your hair cut! Layers are usually a common request when it comes to a killer hair cut, but this style ditches that logic and opts for a more angled shape. Ending at the collarbone, the length and strong angles will slim your face and make your cheekbones pop. Make like Taraji Henson and take the plunge for this fab cut.

Blunt Bob


When going for this look, keep it asymmetric and create a deep part on your favorite side. Willow Smith isn’t the only girl who can whip her hair back and forth! Tossing all your hair to one side like Rachel McAdams does looks chic and sexy.

Razored Trim


For collegiettes with long hair who want to keep the length while ditching the dead ends, opt for a razored trim to get the healthy hair your crave. This is a technique used by stylists to make sure split ends say sayonara, but still allows you to maintains a long, tousled ’do like Emily Ratajkowski.

Happy Medium


This cut is difficult to describe—it’s not exactly medium-length, but it’s not super long either. Instead, it’s the perfect sweet spot in the middle that has lovely ladies like Chrissy Teigen looking #flawless. It allows you to think less about maintenance and more about the adorable burgundy lipstick you need to try while sporting your luscious locks.

Look out for all five of these fabulous styles next time you’re out and about. We’re sure you’ll be able to spot these trends around town!
