Kaia Gerber has steadily been chopping her hair shorter and shorter for months, and her enviable new ear-length crop is bound to inspire legions of copycats.

Going Streaking

Remember a few years ago when everyone had brightly colored streaks in their hair? Expect a resurgence, only this time, the colors will be on the more muted side, like the pale pastels at the Rebecca Minkoff spring 2020 show.

A textured bob is all about geometry: the particular length and extra volume create gorgeous angles right at your jawline. This is a cut that looks great on all sides.

Meg Ryan may be synonymous with this iconic haircut, but Selena Gomez is bringing it back.

Bump It Up

Get ready: The early-aughts look that launched an internet debate is back—all thanks to Florence Pugh. (And she's not the only one: Jodie Comer wore the style to the 2019 Emmy Awards. It's happening, folks.)

Euphoria Hair

If your hair isn't covered in pearls or rhinestones or some kind of shimmery baubles in 2020, you're not paying attention. Just be sure to remove all your hair glitz carefully (don't toss them away or let them go down the drain).

We'll copy pretty much anything Zendaya does, and right now this rich, shiny, so-dark-it's-almost-brunette red tops the list.

Tory Burch sent models down the spring 2020 runway wearing hair combs—could they be this year's headband? Time will tell, but we recommend hitting up your local antique shop before they hit the big time.

Return of the Pixie

Expect to see more leading ladies chopping off their hair and embracing an ultra-chic cropped pixie, just like Zoe Kravitz at the 2020 Golden Globes.

French Twist Ponytails

In addition to showing one of 2019's biggest trends, the hatband, the Chanel Metiers d'Art show also featured a French twist with, well, a twist. It's the perfect ponytail for your next dressy event.
