The key ingredients are carefully cut-in layers and some sexy face-framing pieces. “The haircut itself is a long, layered haircut with a ton of internal layers,” explains Sal. “These are what give the hair hold and keep it from collapsing. I think of the internal layering as the wings holding up the shape,” he says.

“The little pieces in the middle that frame around the brows give it that cuter look rather than just having those longer pieces,” - Amanda Aldana De Jesus

The more I swiped through images of the cut online, like this one from hairstylist Sal Salcedo, the more I wanted in.

“People are so into the ’90s right now. Clients still want the money piece on their highlight but they will look for something ’90s and a more natural look. Instead of being a super ashy tone, slightly warm or neutral tones will be more popular.” - @seolahair

“If you’re like us and looking to undo the damage that came from salt water, sweat and sun, then read along to get shiny, healthy, hydrated hair just in time for fall.”

Layers are the reason that the shag haircut lives and thrives, and this shaggy 'do by stylist Sal Salcedo makes the most of natural curls by adding tons of layering, as well as long, wispy bangs.

As Chris Li, a colorist at Nova Arts Salon in Los Angeles shares: “I’m seeing more people embrace warmer tones, which makes their skin glow. I believe this shift comes from wanting a more subtle look, as the pandemic has given our hair and skin some time to have a more natural moment with salons being closed for such a long period.”

The team at Nova Arts Salon in Los Angeles share the top 12 hair trends they’re seeing in 2021, from summer into fall.

After nearly a year of isolation, freedom is in high demand. Sal Salcedo, a hairstylist in Los Angeles, estimates that since reopening his salon, Nova Arts Salon, when restrictions relaxed, about 70% of his clients have asked for radical chops—up from around 50% pre-Covid. “As soon as they could, I had a lot of people reach out to me and say, ‘I want to cut it off,’”

Beyond the relationship to the eyes, Salcedo says that a fringe can also serve as a physical representation of change that doesn't involve chopping off all your hair.

Another option, if your hair is long and you want a less drastic change, go for a mid-length chop. L.A. hairstylist Sal Salcedo says that the single-length cut is always sleek.

Colorist Allison Varmette of L.A.'s trendy Nova Arts Salon tells us that the dimensional effect is supposed to look lived-in. "I like to shadow smudge the root a little so that when the hair grows it’s not a harsh line," she says.

While we've seen the fringe trend get a little pick up as of late, the long curtain bang, reminiscent of the iconic Brigitte Bardot look is on the rise. "My clients are barely catching up to this trend, and I foresee more women jumping on the '70s, cool and tousled look for spring," says Salcedo
