There are times when you look into the mirror and you’d think to yourself, “Why do I look so dull? Is there something wrong with my makeup?”. Truth be told, the root cause of it all may not be the result of you switching up your foundation, or lipstick or buying new outfits — so what can it be? Answer is, it may lie in your tresses.
We’re well into 2019 and if you’re in dire need of a new get-up then you’ve come to the right place. Here, we’ve identified and curated a list of looks for you to break out of your routine with these trendy spruced updos that’ll make you look from 0 to 100 real quick this summer.
HAIR CLIPS ARE IN
A must-have summer accessory this summer — hair clips and barrettes. Whether it’s decked out in pearls, or a statement hair slide, these hair accessories are a definite must if you’re planning to bump up your hair game.
Drawing inspiration from Chanel’s previous runway looks, this earlier noughties trend has made its mark in the scene with its simple and chic accents that sweep the hair away from your face while adding a modern touch to any look!

BLUNT BOBS
If you haven’t already guessed it, it’s officially haircut season. Get your pre-summer haircut with a blunt bob just like the ones Kaia Gerber and Hayley Bieber has been recently spotted with. Known as the “it” hairstyle for the season, get your finger on the pulse with this fuss-free hairstyle that’s chic, stylish and timeless.
LIVING CORAL
Best hair colour to rock this year? Hands down, Pantone’s Colour of the Year, Living Coral. We’ve all seen the rise of a ton of playful hair colours over the past few years but this year, this peachy, metallic hue is having a moment.
If you fancy something that’s on the brighter end of things, then we suggest booking your next appointment at the salon, stat. Go for a solid colour or switch things up by opting for an ombre do instead.
BANGS ARE MAKING A COMEBACK
Have a forehead the size of a six-head? We feel you. We’re not saying that having a huge forehead is a bad thing, in fact, it’s anything but a flaw! However, it’s common and totally normal for some of us to feel a little conscious about our hairstyles especially when you’re trying to look less “bald”.
First time getting bangs? Fret not. For a fail-proof haircut, opt for wispy bangs. With longer layers, you’ll be able to slowly adjust to the look, and also, you’ll also have the option to trim it a little shorter if you’re starting to dig the micro-bangs trend.
Alternatively, like the one seen on Dakota Johnson, curtain bangs are starting to make a name for itself with a look that’s relaxed yet elegant at the same time. Whether your hair’s up in a ponytail, a bun or just as it is, these curtain bangs are definitely one that you can’t go wrong about.
BUN IT UP
Don’t you just hate how your hair gets in the way sometimes? Oh, on days when the sun’s blazing and sweat trickling down your cheek, your hair gets the short end of the stick.
Your best bet? Well, if chopping your hair isn’t part of any of your options, then a cute messy bun should do you good. Let’s face it, it’s nothing new here. We all love our buns as much as we love styling our hair, and honestly, it’s the quickest, and easiest hairstyle in any book. Bun it up on its own or add a hair wrap just like Rae Rodriguez for a look that’s easy and breezy — perfect for the warm summer months.
THE RESURGENCE OF BERETS
It’s sophisticated, it’s sweet and most importantly, it’s stylish. Berets (in general) are making a comeback this year and we’re not sorry for it. On days when you feel like jazzing up your look a lil (or even on bad hair days), look over to these cute fashion go-tos for an instant outfit upgrade.
Incorporating this trendy closet essential is a must especially when you’re looking to sport on a new look. A trendy aesthetic that makes you look a little more sophisticated and confident without being too overt — to put it simply, it gives the right amount of feminine allure.
