After a year of very limited hairdresser appointments, some of us have thrived and others can’t wait to be a regular in the salon chair again and let someone else do the job- no more bad home jobs please.

​​​​​​​So, whether you’re now a pro at doing your hair yourself or need something to screenshot for your next hair appointment to show your hairdresser, we’ve got you covered with 10 hairstyles to try out in 2021.

1. Zendaya’s Blonde Pixie Cut

Zendaya may have first debuted this blonde pixie cut look back in 2016, but 5 years on and pixie cuts are all the rage. This year all we’ve cared about is comfort and ease and top hairdressers have predicted that 2021 will be the year of the pixie cut thanks to their effortless look.

2. Zara Larsson’s Peachy Do

If you’ve become accustomed to bleaching your hair at home this year, then you’ve probably also become familiar with crazy colours. And it’s time for pink to move out the way because 2021 is all about peach. And Zara Larsson shows exactly how good it can look.

3. Rita Ora’s Curly Locks

This year we’ve been obsessed with curls and that’s not set to die down anytime soon. We love Rita Ora’s short tight curls in this look - one to definitely try in the new year.

5. Miley Cyrus’s ‘Shag’

We knew Tiger King had a major impact on our lives, but little did we know that Joe Exotic’s shag haircut would be all the rage for 2021. Predicted by salon experts to be a major trend for the year ahead, Miley Cyrus is already sporting the look.

6. Alicia Keys’ Braids

If this year has taught you to be kinder to your hair, then you’ll want to look no further than Alicia Keys’ braided look. No heat required and it looks stunning.

The perfect updo for that first night out with the girls in the new year.

8. Logan Browning’s Au Natural Fro

If you’ve decided to be kinder to your hair and embrace its natural beauty, then take inspiration from Logan Browning’s perfect, natural afro.

9. Margot Robbie’s Blonde Waves
