3. Volumized Pixie Cut: While slick, polished pixies were hot last year, we’re ready for something a bit more unruly. Volume is here to stay, people!

4. Piecey Bangs: The easiest way to channel this decade? Toss your locks into a bun, and pull out two small pieces in the front. Quick, easy, and on-trend.
5. Crimped: It’s time to dig out your old hair crimper, because we’re seeing these tiny, textured waves everywhere.

6. Tiny Twists: Get ready to channel your inner Brandy with these long, twisted strands.
7. Twisted Corn Rows: Twisting your hair back into petite sections (then clipping them with a butterfly clip, duh) was truly a thing way back when. We’re ready to bring it back if it means being able to use fun clips again. You in?
8. Symmetrical Buns: To keep these funky buns modern, make sure to pull out pieces in the front and on the sides. It makes the style a bit less polished and messier (that’s so 2018).

9. Half-Up Buns: Not ready to commit to a total updo? Try this half-up, half-down look that incorporates not one, but two vintage looks.
10. Messy Shag: Show your stylist this sweet ‘do for a serious grungy feel.
11. Slicked Back Pony: Grab your favorite hair gel, and work your locks back into the tightest pony possible for a hella badass feel.

12. Clipped Back Bangs: Yes, they still sell these classic clips, and we can see why.
13. Butterfly Clips: While some may still be on the fence about them being modern enough, we say rock them with confidence.
