10 Hair Trends in 2021: Colours, Cuts and Hairstyles You Can’t Miss This Year

April 13, 2021

With nowhere to go, your 2020 hair might be looking bleak and dull right about now. You’ll be pleased to hear that 2021 is calling for a makeover. With plenty of hair trends to choose from, you’ll be able to transform your locks. Whether you’re undecided between a new hair colour, a fashionable cut, or a chic hairstyle, we’ve got you covered with 10 stylish, current hair trends that will help you forget your 2020 do.

1. Silver purple hair


A fusion of two hair colours, shades that merge two hues into one are becoming popular in the beauty world. Silver-purple is bold, confident, and brings together purple with glittery silver tints for that sassy look.


2. Rose brown hair


You might think that brunette hairstyles are basic, but you can spice it up with this look. Although you can add a warm or cool touch to your locks, rosy brown hair is becoming a firm favourite.

3. Side-swept bangs


If you’re a bang hairstyle type of gal, you’ll be happy to know that side-swept bangs are seriously fashionable for 2021. Not only is it iconic, but this style is perfect to highlight your features; particularly, those of you with wider foreheads as it brings attention to your eyes.


4. Shag haircuts

Yes, they’re back and trendier than ever. Shag haircuts are a fabulous way to pay tribute to the rock and rollers of the 70s era. With its multiple layers and bangs, it fits in perfectly with that cool-girl, edgy look.


5. Blunt bob


Lockdown has made short hair a vibe for 2021 (not that we’re complaining). If you want that sleek and sharp look, you’ll have to put in some effort as the blunt bob requires a lot of maintenance. 


6. Two-tone hair


Why decide on one haircut when you can go for two? Two-tone hair is all about customising your hair needs. There is nothing to stop you from fulfilling your multi-coloured fantasies with this look. Whether you want coloured ends or rock-coloured roots, you’re free to do so.

7. Pixie hair


Back at you with another short hair trend. With a pixie hairstyle, you can choose just one-length or get it cut shorter on the back or sides and leave it longer on the top.


8. Lob with choppy layers


If you want to have a go at playing with length without the commitment of a bob, a lob with choppy layers is the perfect answer – especially for those of you with thin or fine hair.

9. Milk chocolate swirl hair


Milk chocolate hair is a winner in 2021 if you want to add some shine to dark brown hair for a warm finish. For the perfect look, ask for hues of gold and light brown to be added to your dark hair.


10. Pastel hair


Pastel hair is not going anywhere. This look is gaining a lot of fame in the beauty world – be it the mermaid hair or unicorn hair trend, you can have plenty of fun with this one.

You’ve likely heard of keratin and nanoplasty hair straightening treatments, but how do you know which is right? Whether you have Afro hair, curly hair, or are seeking smooth, frizz-free locks, understanding the core differences between these two popular options can help you make the best decision for your hair goals. Permanent and non-permanent straightening treatments offer different results, maintenance levels, and longevity. If you're contemplating an appointment and aren’t sure whether you’re after a temporary refresh or a long-term change, this guide will break down everything you need to know—clearing up confusion, busting myths, and ensuring you feel confident before committing to either option. Let’s explore the key differences between keratin and nanoplasty so you can decide which path suits your lifestyle, hair type, and preferences. Understanding Keratin Straightening & How It Works Keratin straightening is a smoothing treatment, not a restructuring one. It infuses hair with keratin, a naturally occurring protein in hair to coat the outer layer, reducing frizz and enhancing shine without changing the internal structure of the hair shaft. This is considered a non-permanent straightening option, and it is ideal for clients who want to try smoother hair without committing long-term. Key characteristics of keratin treatments: Offers semi-permanent frizz control and shine. Results typically last 3–6 months, depending on hair type and aftercare. Works best for mildly wavy, frizzy, or dry hair. Doesn’t cause long-term damage when applied professionally with the right product. Great for busy people wanting to reduce blow-drying time or tame seasonal humidity with a natural-looking finish. The Science Behind Nanoplasty Treatments Nanoplasty goes several steps further than keratin by changing the hair's internal structure using nanotechnology and active ingredients like amino acids, collagen, and botanical acids. The nanoplasty treatment not only smooths and straightens hair from within but also offers that dramatic look and longer-lasting results. This permanent hair straightening service is perfect for anyone seeking a noticeable transformation. Safe for pregnant clients and those looking for a non-invasive method, the nanoplasty treatment offers a smooth, effortless experience with no downtime. At our Sunshine Coast salon, we use only natural ingredients, including amino acids, açai, and linseed oil. Plus, after your treatment, you’re free to enjoy hair colouring without any restrictions! Key benefits of Nanoplasty: Offers sleek, straight hair for up to 8–12 months. Suitable for a broader range of hair types, including coarse, curly, and ethnic hair textures. Free from harsh chemicals like formaldehyde. Leaves hair glossy and manageable with less need for heat styling. The effect doesn't wash out because it alters the hair’s inner bonds—it grows out over time. How Long Do the Results Last? Both treatments leave your hair sleek and smooth, but the duration of results varies between services. The best way to choose the right treatment for you is to consider your budget and how often you’re willing to repeat the sessions.
