We're approaching the end of 2020 (and honestly thank the universe for that). Whether you’re doing some safe socially distant hangs or just continuing quarantine at home, you can still have some fun trying new hair trends and hairstyles. You don’t need an event or any other reason to get dressed up. If you want to cut some bangs, spend an hour learning a new technique, or dye your hair pink—now is the time to go for it.

To that end, the 10 hair trends below have been popping up all over our Instagram feed, from '90s casual claw clips to pops of color. We’re calling it now: these hairstyles and ideas are going to be huge for winter 2020.

1

Claw Clips

The humble claw clip is not only utilitarian, they’re also super chic. If you have dark hair, add contrast with a white claw clip instead of black.

Half Braids

Laura Harrier's half-braid, half-waves hairstyle is so gorgeous and easy to DIY.

Sleek Baby Hairs

Style baby hairs in slick s-waves to dress up any regular ponytail. You'll want to use a good edge control product so that the shapes don’t move.

Bucket Hats

So a bucket hair isn't really a hairstyle, but it's the chicest way to hide whatever is going on with your hair. Just pop one on and you'll feel instantly put together.

Tight Top Knot

Top knots are a classic for a reason—they're both beautiful and practical. Change it up by letting one tendril drop at the front to frame your face.

Structured Wavy Bob

If you haven't cut your hair since February or March, consider this a sign. We especially love this angled blunt cut and added waves for texture.

Natural Curls

Natural curls aren't a trend—they're here forever. Keep your natural curls shiny and glossy this winter by using moisturizing hair masks and stylers.

High Pony

If JLo loves a good high pony, we love a good high pony. Gather hair high near the crown and let the rest of it fall in loose, glossy waves.

Pop of Color

Why save fun, bright colors for the summer? Offset some of those seasonal blues with an unexpected and dynamic pop of color.

Tendril Drops

This is '90s prom hair, but make it fashion. Elevate the tendril drops by making your pony or updo more relaxed and loose. We’ll be wearing this for future Zoom happy hours and social distance dates all winter.
