Summer is the perfect time to change. After spending the whole year waiting to finally have some free time, it’s normal many people see these few months of blessed freedom as the ideal chance to glow up: some sign up to the gym, some change their skin care routine… and others get a new hairstyle. I guess there’s people (most of us lol) who don’t have enough patience to undergo a slow process and would rather enjoy the wonders of instant gratification: in this case, changing the way you wear your hair. These are the most seen hairstyles on Instagram!
And where do we go when we need to find the best hair inspo? Instagram. The stuff we see our favourite bloggers do immediately become things we want to copy, including hairstyles. This is why, as always, we’ve anticipated your needs and we’ve brought you the 8 most seen hairstyles on Instagram to copy right now! Warning: after reading this article you might feel the urge to run to your nearest hairdresser.
The Parisian Bob
The list of actresses, models and bloggers that are now rocking this fabulous ‘do is endless. Alyssa Coscarelli (@alyssainthecity), Taylor Lashae (@taylorlashae) and Vanessa Hudgens (@vanessahudgens) are only a few of the many celebrities that have been unable to resist the je ne sais quoi of the Parisian bob. And who can blame them? The bangs draw attention to the eyes, while the short length softens the jawline and makes for a very chic, young and fresh look. Très bien!
Lobs Rock
If you are sure you want your hair shorter, but do not want to be too extreme, we are happy to introduce you to your new favourite style: the lob! It’s known for its versatility, for its magical abilities to look good on everyone and for being among the Kardashians’ favourite hairstyles. The best thing about lobs? It’s such a safe bet, it works with practically everything: bangs, no bangs, crazy colours… endless possibilities in just one chop!
Reverse Balayage
Yes, we all love balayage. It was the hairstyle we just could not get enough of during summer 2017 because of its romantic vibe and the “I just came back from my holidays in the south of France” look it gave to our hair. But it’s no longer 2017, is it? That’s why it’s time to make room for the new hottest hairstyle in town: reverse balayage. Although the name is pretty self-explanatory, let us explain what’s it about. You know how balayage was all about creating this beautiful effect, as if your hair turned lighter from the root to the tips? Now imagine the same thing… backwards.
Opal Hair
Unicorn hair and rainbow hair who? The new fantasy colour hair trend takes after the pinks and pastels of the opal gemstone, which means your hair will shimmer and shine more than ever! This style works particularly well with people who are lucky enough to have naturally wavy hair, as the extra movement will enhance the colours.
The Return Of Headbands
This is not a drill! Headbands are back! So are you ready to channel your inner Blair Waldorf and make the most of it? Even though adding a hairband to your outfits might seem very lowkey and probably the easiest and safest hair trend we’ve found on Instagram, you’d be surprised how much of a difference it can make. Wear them with a fringe or a low pony tail, with bold patterns or embellishments, and you’ll suddenly become the preppiest of them all. This is one of the more nostalgic of the most seen hairstyles on Instagram.
Angled Afros!
Attention all of you who are blessed with natural hair! If you’re rocking an afro this summer, why not try something different from the usual round shape? Because this year, afros come in all shapes and sizes, and we probably need to thank the massive inspiration sources that are Solange Knowles and Lupita Nyong’o. Just look at how the triangle shape is taking off on social media; the flatter on the top with volume on the sides look is a sure winner. This is one of the best most seen hairstyles on Instagram.
Curly Fringes
If you want to get bangs but you’re worried your curls will look weird hanging in front of your forehead… think again. The 80s are back in terms of hair trends, which means fringes can be worn however you damn like. Yes, we mean it! Total freedom. Separate them so that they frame your face like curtains, wear it on one side, cut it extra short to achieve the ultimate flowerchild look… And if you need more ideas, just look at Radhika Nair (@pazhatu) rocking her bangs!
Hair Contouring
The ultimate hair-framing ‘do is in town! If you’re the type that’s watched a million makeup tutorials on YouTube, but are still unsure about how to go around contouring, this is the Instagram hairstyle you need to copy right now! This is basically how it works: you go for nude shades, combining the tones so that they that draw attention to your cheekbones and eyes. Pretty much like contouring, but without the hassle! This is one of the most seen hairstyles on Instagram that is very trendy.
