A new year means new possibilities. Resolutions go around, diets start afresh, people grace the gym and so on. Everyone is just looking for a new beginning.

So what better way to start afresh than try a new hairstyle? You could try something simple like a few highlights, or choose something more dramatic like chopping your hair into a pixie cut. The choice is yours.

If you’re looking for some inspiration though, here are some hairstyles that are likely to dominate 2019:

Sharp Fringe

A fresh fringe cut is a great way to get into a “new year, new me” zone. Whether you choose a sharp cut or one with round edges, a fringe will frame your eyes and highlight them beautifully. You can ask your hairdresser which style suits you best.

Beachy Waves

Beachy waves are an improved version of the bed head waves that you wake up with. It’s a great choice for a hairstyle because it gives off a sophisticated yet casual vibe. Your hair is not stiff and you can easily flip it from one side to the other. What’s more is that if you’re opting for a T-shirt and jeans or a cocktail dress, this look will complement your clothes perfectly.

After a visit to your hairdresser, the best way to keep this look is by twisting small portions of hair with a curling iron and spraying the waves with a hairspray. This will keep the curls in place. Consult your hairdresser for a suitable hairspray that won’t leave your hair stiff or sticky.

The Sleek Updo

Sleek, tight updos tend to be considered as the go-to look for senior prom, but they might just be meant for more. You can revisit this look for the next formal event you get invited to or when you’re simply in the mood and want to get fancy. After all, if Issa Rae with her chignon and Lady Gaga with her twisted braids can pull it off, then why can’t you?

The Lob

Also known as the long bob, the lob was one of the most popular hairstyles in 2018, and the trend is likely to continue in 2019 as well. It’s a great look since it allows

you to style your hair in different ways and is totally manageable. The best part – it leaves you with enough length so that you can tie your hair into a ponytail.
