The Shag Haircut

Is it a mullet? Or, is it a baby shag? While we aren't 100% sure about what to call Miley Cyrus' edgy 'do, we're certain that short shag haircuts will rule 2020. Credit: @mileycyrus

Lord Farquadd Haircut

As we all know, Lord Farquaad is the villain in Shrek, with a sleek long bob haircut that is notably flipped inwards. And, in recent weeks, your fave A-list stars have been channelling serious Farquaad energy by opting for his powerful haircut.Credit: @jesushair

Kaia Gerber Bob

Baby Afros

Afro hairstyles will be worn bigger and bolder than ever this year. If you're eager to give your natural tresses a 2020 makeover, consider getting a gorgeous baby afro haircut. Credit: @tossellate

Invisible Layers

Whether you have shorter strands or Rapunzel-length locks, this is the year to add soft invisible layers. Ask your hairstylist to cut long layers for added definition and movement. Tap into two trends at once by styling your hair down the centre to give your tresses the latest It girl curtain bangs. These bangs don't have to be cut super short, we suggest asking your stylist for face-framing layers around the front to give the illusion of curtain bangs. Credit: @franckhair

Soft Blunt Bob

Unlike a sleek blunt cut bob, a soft one is all about movement and piece-y texture. If you're looking for variation in the new year, you're going to want to screenshot this example, ASAP. Credit: @karliekloss

Cropped Pixie

Easy to style daily, which in our world means more time for beauty sleep, short-cropped pixies (think momager Kris Jenner hair) have been spotted on all the cool-girls on Instagram, and ties in perfectly with our next haircut idea for 2020, androgynous cuts.

Androgynous Cuts

Tired of feminine stereotypes? Then you'll be happy to know that gender-fluid styles are going to be huge in 2020. Guys are growing their hair long and women are going ever shorter, but it doesn't stop there. The key to rocking androgynous locks lay within the styling just as much as the cut. Short hair allows for more messed up and defined styles and slick back tresses like seen above are both extremely feminine with a sprinkle of boyish beauty. Credit: @resnyarenee

Micro Fringes

Everyone went crazy for bangs in 2019. But what's the biggest fringe trend you need to know for 2020? Micro fringes of course! Not one for the faint-hearted, the micro fringe trend is ideal for those looking for a restyle that will completely transform their look. Credit: @erickinvisbile

French Girl Bobs

The much-loved Parisian bob trend is back (did it really go?) and we couldn't be happier. Get the French girl look by asking your stylist for a chin-grazing blunt bob and a long, textured fringe that sits at your brows. Credit: @taylorlashae

Long Shag Haircuts

We all know how popular shag haircuts are but if you treasure your lengthy locks too much to go for a shorter style, you will be happy to know that long shag hairstyles will become one of the most sought-after haircuts this year. Credit: @matildadjerf

Grown Out Pixies

There is no denying that 2019 was all about going for the chop. From Cara Delevingne to Zoe Kravitz, the A-list world went wild for buzzcuts and short pixies, so inevitably we can expect a tonne of grown out pixies to be filtering through onto our social media pages. Credit: @audreythestylist

Big Curls

From embracing natural hair textures to making the most of your curls, this year is going to be one hell of a year for curly-haired ladies. Our advice? Master the art of air-drying, so you can show off your lovely hair texture.

Permed Hair

Perms started making a comeback last year and will continue to do so this year. They're the perfect thing to opt for when you want to give your straight, limp hair a boost.Credit: @permsfeed

Birkin Bangs

Most recently spotted on Gucci muse Dakota Johnson and a host of Victoria's Secret models no less, long piecey fringes are going to be huge in 2020.Credit: @latenoverdressed

Bardot Bangs

You can't talk about bang hairstyles without mentioning Brigitte Bardot. And lately, her signature look is being brought back to the spotlight (yes, we're looking at you Lucy Boynton and Goldie Hawn), and has been given the official style seal of approval. But the best thing about these bangs? They work on all face shapes and are suitable for all ages. So, if you're after a look that'll ooze sexiness and sophistication, you know what to do: get Bardot bangs. Credit: @lacyredway

The Relaxed Shag

The modern, reinvented shag is more relaxed, natural, and hits just below the collarbone, which pairs perfectly with face-framing layers and long split bangs. But guess what? This 'do also works with a full fringe too, so experiment with what works best for your look. Credit: @chanteljeffries
