      Trends are fun to follow when they concern elements you can switch up easily\u2014think wardrobe and makeup. But when it comes to your hair, few of us want to embrace a bold new look every<\/em> season just to stay one step ahead of the sartorial game. That’s not to say that we don’t get giddy upon discovering the most popular hair looks at NYFW! There’s just something utterly comforting with tried-and-true classic styles.\n<\/p>\n

      Certain cuts make an appearance time and time again\u2014think Twiggy\u2019s iconic pixie or a \u201970s-inspired shag. They are the haircuts that will always be en vogue, day to night, and season to season. To help us out in our quest to find a complete roundup of the looks that stand the test of time, we turned to the pros. Top stylists weighed in on what exactly makes a haircut timeless, plus the styles that they believe will never grow old.\n<\/p>\n

      From short to long, straight to textured, scroll on to discover the 7 haircuts that will always be in style, and all the options for making them look their best.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

      Although Western society typically associates beauty with long hair, the short-haired pixie cut challenged this notion in the 1960s. \u201cTwiggy started it all off, and then Princess Diana and Demi Moore ruled this look in the 1990s,” recounts celebrity hairstyist Jordan Garrett. It\u2019s now one of the most iconic looks of all time.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      Today, the pixie has become the preferred cut among certain celebrities. “More recently, we\u2019ve seen it come up with a few modern tweaks on celebrities such as [Zo\u00eb Kravitz] and Katy Perry. It\u2019s a classic look and suits people with petite features,\u201d comments Garrett.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      This sultry, textured, layered look features lots of shape around the face, drawing maximum attention to the eyes. \u201cIt looks great straight, curly, in plaits and in a tight or loose updo. It\u2019s got incredible versatility, which always helps make a style timeless,\u201d says Neil Smith, artistic director at Barrie Stephen Hair.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      Gabrielle Union takes her shag to the next level with a head full of curls\u2014bangs included. To score her style, we recommend investing in a curly hair routine. Cleansing with curly hair shampoo and conditioner followed by applying a leave-in conditioner (we like Tgin Green Tea Super Moist Leave In Conditioner, will keep curls looking their best.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      Lou Doillon channels the spirit of the ’70s with her rockstar shag. \u201cThis cut is a classic for millennials due to the fact that it\u2019s so low maintenance,\u201d says Smith. The bangs are a nice touch, too\u2014although we wouldn’t expect anything less from Jane Birkin’s progeny.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      Blunt bangs make a statement. In fact, they are an inexpensive yet effective way to completely change your look\u2014and hide those frown lines (if that happens to be a concern), adding a youthful tone. It’s no wonder that Smith calls them \u201cthe Botox fringe.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      And while you might be wary of bangs due to concerns like their constant upkeep, a curtain fringe, like this one here on Bryce Dallas Howard, is low-commitment, not to mention, super stylish. They also get an A+ in face-framing.\n<\/p>\n

      Although a cowlick around your hairline can be annoying, that doesn’t mean it can’t be managed. It’s just a matter of your fringe needing a little encouragement to sit where you want it to.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      A side-swept fringe is also easy to maintain and style. They’re the perfect accessory to texturized beach waves as modeled by Chrissy Teigen. To get her casual-cool beach vibes, apply a few spritzes of texturizing spray.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      It’s no doubt that bobs are classic, but did you know that they can be worn in countless ways? According to Sam Burnett, owner and creative director of Hare & Bone, \u201cThis is arguably the most versatile cut of all time. Two people can have a bob exactly the same length, but if one has choppy layers and a fringe and the other has a blunt finish, they will look totally different.”\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      Paula Patton’s wavy bob gives off a vintage feel with its length and texture. Its appeal stems from the fact that it is a nearly universally flattering cut. “It can also be styled to suit all face shapes, ages, hair types and styles, which is why it will always be popular,\u201d adds Burnett.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      Lucy Boynton modernizes the classic chin-length bob with a dose of texture. Burnett comments, “Any small changes to the shape can have a huge effect on the overall style, which means it\u2019s easy for it to be updated with seasonal trends to give it a fresh edge.”\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      You might not think of the buzz cut as being evergreen, but thanks to celebs such as Sigourney Weaver, Cara Delevingne, and Halsey, it’s constantly having a revival. Halsey opts for an induction cut, the shortest extreme on the buzz spectrum.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      If you want to take your buzz cut one step further, follow Kristen Stewart’s lead and bleach it. A platinum blonde buzz is head-turning and trendy.

      Want luxe-looking hair? Then it\u2019s a long\u00a0one-length-looking (there actually are<\/em> some layers in there) style you need to go for. \u201cSubtle long layers give the hair fluidity and movement, and it\u2019s such a timeless look,\u201d says Marc Trinder of Trinder Hair Studios.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      A blunt cut creates the illusion of fullness, so unless you’ve got fine or thin tresses, this might not be for you. Instead, consider long layers, which are “easy to style and maintain, and they help create shape within a haircut as well as reduce some weight, making them ideal for thicker hair types,\u201d explains Trinder.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      When it comes to curls and textured hair, a freehand cut is a way to create a lasting style. \u201cI think the most effortless and always on-trend look for curls is seeing them in their natural shape and state,\u201d says Trinder.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      If you’ve got curls, why not embrace them? \u201cTo do this, the hair cannot be cut in a methodically layered way. It prevents curls from sitting in their natural shape,” explains Trinder. “Instead, your stylist needs to slice out lengths to make them soft on the edges\u2014this will allow the curls to retain their definition and enhance the natural shape.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
