The triangle cut starts full on top and comes in to taper around the neck. It’s a very old Hollywood glamour style. This is a great option for curly hair. Straight-haired women can add a few waves to give hair that timeless appearance.

The tapered cut is another look that works well with curly hair. Create the look by adding some length on the top and then taper it in to become boy-short at the bottom.

47. Curly Bangs

Curly bangs are the perfect thing for the rounded fro and other curly, layered looks. They make for the perfect face-framing mane with style.

46. 90’s Chop

Following a decade of hairspray and over-styling, I think a lot of people were ready for the 90’s chop. Short and easy, this looks as if the hair was chopped off to appear easy and unstyled. People who are looking for a low maintenance cut should consider bringing this one into 2020.

45. Invisible Layers

While choppy layers can add dimension to hair, subtle thin layers can add volume in a way that is much more subtle. To achieve this look, start cutting at an angle around the chin and work your way down.

44. Cropped Cut

This short, to-the-head hairstyle requires that hair be less than an inch long. It’s great for people who are transitioning from processed to natural hair. It provides an air of edgy sophistication that is sure to garner a second glance.

43. Chandelier Bags

Add bangs to this long layered cut to get a tiered look. The first layer is the bangs themselves. Cut another layer in around the chin and add a few more at the bottom of the hair for a classic style that is both voluminous and sexy.

42. One Length

This style is simple but strong. This style works with any length of hair; the only prerequisite is that it be cut straight at the bottom. No layers, no bangs, just a simple classic look.

41. Rounded Fro

Tracey Ellis Ross may be single-handedly congratulated for bringing this vintage look back. Working well with super curly hair, this is a layered look that works perfectly to tame that frizz and shape, while letting those curls run wild.

40. Modern Shag

Short straight bangs take the shag into the modern era. The best part? This style looks great on all hair lengths.

Another pixie cut variation, keep one side short while growing out the other to create an abstract and high-fashion style.

35. Curly Thick Layers

If you have curly hair, layers will be perfect for making hair look tapered and not puffy. Shoulder-length hair that is cut thin towards the shoulders will work to maintain a neat, frizz-free look.

34. Long Shaggy Styles

Shaggy cuts aren’t only for short and medium length hair. You can add layers to long hair to get a great shaggy look. For an even edgier look, try adding bangs.

33. Short Pixie

Pixies can have a long-banged, shaggy look. However, shorter pixies have short bangs and a neater all-over look. They are very high fashion and are a great complement for delicate features.

32. Shaggy Collarbone Cuts

Collarbone length is great for layers. Make yours choppy to produce a messy, shaggy look.

31. Shoulder Length Layers

Layers can work well with any length of hair. If you have shoulder-length hair, add layers throughout to give it a sexy, tousled appearance.

30. Straight Mob

We’ve talked about the lob and we’ve talked about the bob. Now here comes the mob. The mob is typically right near shoulder-length and it works when hair is curly or straight.

29. Traditional Layers

This cut typically has layers starting around chin length and a few more flowing to the bottom. It works well with blondes and dark-haired women alike.

28. Combover Haircut

No, we are not referring to the style so many men adopt when they are losing their hair! Rather this refers to a cut that is almost shaved on the sides and has some length on the top. It makes for a great edgy look.

27. The Pixie

The classic pixie has some length in the front as well as the back. While the back does not have a significant amount of length, it usually comes a few inches below the nape of the neck. This is what differentiates it from an undercut pixie style.

26. Chest Length Wavy Haircut

This is a nod to a classic long-haired look that will never go out of style. The chest-length is perfect for both waves and bangs.

25. Curly Shag Haircuts

Shags are typically worn on short hair, but curly hair can bring the perfect amount of sloppiness and volume that elevates look in every way.

24. Long Feathered Haircut

As everything old becomes new again, we look to the long-feathered haircut as the perfect tribute to seventies fashion. Cheryl Tiegs ain’t got nothing on you!

23. Textured Cut with a Fringe

We often think of textured cuts as going with swoopy side bangs or thin-curtain bangs, but adding a fringe can take it to a whole other level. The choppy bottom is matched with neat straight bangs to make for a look that will turn heads wherever you go.

22. Long Textured Haircut

This one is great for medium-length hair. A few inches below the shoulders is an ideal length for a heavily textured look that’s edgy, sexy and really delivers the wow factor.

21. Short Shag

Shags aren’t only for long hair. You can rock this messy look with hair that is shoulder length or even shorter! Chic and stylish, this look is great for the office or you can tousle it to mess it up for an exciting night out on the town.

20. Asymmetrical Haircut

You don’t have to have short hair to sport this asymmetrical look. Longer hair that is grown out on one side can also give a great Avant-garde look. Add some swoopy bands to complete the style.

19. Futuristic Bangs

Thick, even bangs that go slightly into the hairline will give you a modern, futuristic look that works well with both short and long hair alike.

18. Cuts for Thin Hair

If you have thin hair, you can still have plenty of fun with it. One way to wear thin hair is short in the back with some longer bangs to play with. No need to worry about volumizing anymore, simply add a bit of mousse and you’ll be good to go.

17. Curly Crop

Who says you can’t wear curly hair short? Leave some length on the top and cut your hair in at the neck to make for a playful look that’s easy to manage.

16. Jagged Baby Bangs

If you can’t seem to get those bangs even, make the most of it by wearing jagged baby bangs. These super-short, uneven bangs work great with short, sloppy shags; they can still also be worn with longer styles.

15. A-Line Shoulder Length Cut

An A-line cut is one that is shorter in the back and graduates to a longer length in the front. It’s typically seen on shorter bobs, but when those start to grow out, that doesn’t mean you have to even things up. An A-line shoulder length is great for an effortless look. Add curls on the bottom and highlight with an ombre two-tone to make this cut look even better.

14. Long Blunt Bob

Lobs tend to give a disheveled look that goes well with layering. However, you can also match them with blunt cuts. A shoulder-length works well with this look and even gives you a bit of hair to play with.

13. Ear-Length Blunt Cut

This look is sleek, professional with an alternative twist at the same time. Cut stick-straight at the ear, this style is great for rocking a punk look, while also working well with a suit and tie.

12. Sweeping Bob

This haircut is perfect for adding volume and texture to a classic bob. Layered at the bottom, it is perfect for highlighting the facial features. A side part finishes off the look to provide a polished elegance that is still a lot of fun.

11. Undercut Pixie Cuts

Undercuts are huge this year. These are cuts that are boy-short at the bottom and have a bit of length on the top. A messy over one eye look will provide a pixie cut that complements the super-short look perfectly.

10. Two-Tone Messy Bob

Shaggy bobs are all the rage. When you add darker and lighter highlights, it really brings out the texture. A side part will be perfect for bringing out this messy-but-cool look.

9. Middle-Length Haircuts

Bobs seem to be taking over but there are still plenty of styles for ladies who love long-haired looks. A few inches below the shoulders is a great length. It is not overwhelmingly long but still gives you a bit to play with. Layer it, U-shape it or shag it to get the style you’re looking for.

8. Neck-Length Bob

It’s no wonder the bob is so popular this year-- it gives the illusion of long hair, but its short length makes it easy to care for and style. Bobs can be any length from super-short to below the shoulder (which is considered a lob) but this mid-neck length is expected to really make an impact this year.

7. Stacked Haircut

Almost the opposite of a mullet, the stacked haircut is business in back and party in the front. The boy-short length gives your neck plenty of room to breathe and is perfect for low maintenance styling. The front gives you just a bit to play with. Swoop it over your eyes, tousle it or spike it for a punky effect.

6. Shag with Bangs

The shag cut is the perfect way to get that sexy tousled look. Soft, curtain bangs work well to complete the look making for a sexy new you.

5. Pixie Bob

The pixie look can be easily achieved by cutting straight bangs that hang over one side of the face. While this will work with short hair, an angled bob is also perfect for providing that wedge look.

4. Textured Haircut

A textured haircut requires working with layers to provide the look of longer and shorter pieces. This type of cut works well with a bob, but it can be used to add volume and sass to any kind of hairstyle.

3. French Bob

Giving your bob a European look is simple; just add bangs. Bangs will work well with angled bobs or straight bobs. It also works great on bobs of all lengths. Get this ‘do and everyone will be saying “Oui, oui madame!”

2. Tousled Lob

Bobs are the height of elegance and sophistication, but when they grow out a few inches, they can have an edgier effect. Let your bob grow out into a lob and then tousle it to get that super-sexy look will be sure to turn heads.

1. Angled Bob

An asymmetrical bob is a fashion statement that isn’t going anywhere. Shorter in the back and longer in the front, a warm hair color that fades into an ombre look will give this hairstyle the biggest impact.

With so many new and exciting hairstyles this year, which do you think is the best for you and your look?
