This Hair Color Is Taking Over Instagram, One Beauty Blogger at a Time

1. Deep Side Parts

Coming in at #1 on our "outdated" list are deep side parts. They used to something we admired on everyone from Amy Winehouse to Katy Perry, but now they remind us of the questionable choices we made in our early 20s.

2. Space Buns

Princess Leia may look great wearing her space buns in the Star Wars franchise, but we think you shouldn't bring them into 2025. The last time someone on our team wore them was between 2018 or 2019, so that should say a lot.

We don't say this often, but let's wear hairstyles that don't revert us back to our grade school days.

3. Side Braid

Unless you're trying to relive your childhood days or want to mimic Blake Lively's character in It Ends With Us, this outdated hairstyle shouldn't be on your list of favorite looks to wear. There's other braided styles you can wear that are way more stylish anyway!

4. Super Visible Highlights

Whether you're getting microlinks or a sew-in, wearing super visible highlights in 2025 is truly outdated. It's one thing to switch up your style, but it's another to let the world know how much you love a good contrast by letting your hair scream it from the mountaintops.

Keep your color of choice seamless this year if you decide to get a color service.

5. '60s Up-Do

There's a time and place for everything, including updos that resemble what was popular during the '60s. If you must wear this style, go for a more modern take that doesn't feel as stiff. You might want to update your bangs too.

6. Wand Curls

When's the last time you heard someone mention this once popular style? Chances are you haven't because it's a reminder of how long it took to achieve overly done curls. Depending on the size you wanted, you could spend anywhere from 45 minutes to over an hour on this style. Oh, and it was mandatory to wear the accompanying glove that came with the 'wand' or else you risked burning your fingers!

No thank you!

7. Barbie Bleach

Remember when it was a cardinal sin to show up to the beach without "effortlessly wavy" hair? It seems more people are moving away from that and embracing 'messy' buns and the beauty of textured hair. It's one thing if you hair naturally looks like this, but it's another if you try to make your hair conform to this style just because it's "on trend."

Newsflash: you don't have to force your hair to do something it doesn't want to! (And not everyone has to look like Serena van der Woodsen!)

8. Millennial Pouf

Oof, how can we forget the millennial pouf? This was one of our go-to hairstyles that we swore we'd always wear. Little did we know how much we'd avoid it once we graduated from college.

It's not the most annoying style, but we're throwing this one in the "outdated" bag so we can't even pretend we're going to start wearing it again.

A Chic Gray Bob 

Go for the classic style by asking for this exact cut at the salon. This shape makes everyone looks amazing and is probably one of the most versatile gray bobs that can inspire your next trip to the salon. To maintain it, you'll want to protect your hair with a scarf at night. During the day, make sure you use a heat protectant before curling it with one of your flat irons.

This blunt hairstyle looks SO good with glasses, too! Pair it with a statement lipstick, and you're really making some stylish moves!

A Gray Lob

Bobs can be as short or long as you want as evidenced by this longer 'lob.' This is for the person who doesn't want to have hair like Rapunzel, but still wants to maintain some of their length. If you ever want to go for a shorter look with this style, all you have to do is pin curl the ends of your hair.

I love how this cut cascades with naturally curly or wavy hair!

I mean, look how flattering this is!

Plus, this slightly shorter length can really add some body to the ends!

A Bob With Bangs

Listen, a bob and bangs are a match made in heaven. I don't make the rules — it just works beautifully! If you're looking to really frame your face, this is a really great option! And look at how it makes your gorgeous features stand out even more!

A Perfectly Curled Under Gray Bob 

Then again, you can keep it short and simple with this perfectly curled gray bob. Whether you consider yourself bold or not for rocking this style, it's one of those looks that'll stand out if you add a beautiful balayage to it.

Did we just give you an idea? We think so!

And with the round glasses to boot? Yeah, this woman screams, "I look good, and I cannot be stopped!"

This look can also add a lot of softness to your aura, too. Really love how it hugs her face here!

A Shorter Gray Bob With Side Bangs

The best thing about shorter hairstyles are their ability to highlight someone's features. If you have an oval face with high cheekbones, this style will amplify them. Not only that, but you'll have fun parting your hair to create side bangs.

Tip: Use a small flat iron to create depth without over-curling your hair.

Look at how this cut angles perfectly with her face! So sleek!

A Stacked Or Graduated Bob 

Another chic bob to wear is a stacked or graduated bob. Similar to the stylish woman in the picture, we imagine this hairstyle is for the woman who loves letting her personality shine through whatever she's wearing. We're jumping the gun, but this is one of those hairstyles you'll have fun planning outfits around.

I just love how this frames and elongates her face! The hairstyle makes her look refreshed and young, giving features like her eyes a chance to really shine!

A Gray Wavy Bob

This is the perfect length and shape to make your natural curls or waves shine. You won't even have to worry about curling your hair with this style because it doesn't require you to. If you're not sure what to use on your hair, we recommend using products from Sienna Naturals to help with the overall health of it.

This hairstyle adds so much movement to your look!

You don't have to have such exaggerated waves, either. Some subtle waviness to your gray bob hairstyle is just enough to add that beautiful movement!

A Fully Curly Bob

Curly hair don't care? A gray bob hairstyle is PERFECT for you. This look says you're fun, fabulous, and ready to have a good time. Plus, it's yet another look that goes oh-so well with your statement glasses — the perfect chic look, if I do say so myself!

Multicolor Strapless Brocade Floral Gown With Ruffle Hem

This gorgeous little number just is spring, from the dainty bright colors to the beautiful flower detailing. Plus, the warmer weather is perfect for showing a little shoulder! This is definitely my favorite of the bunch.

Nadra Light Blue Satin Jacquard One-Shoulder Maxi Dress

I've been obsessed with jacquard lately, and it works so well with this powder blue. The balance of the one shoulder and the side slit on either side of the dress adds the perfect symmetry to what may be considered asymmetrical look, too!

BHLDN Selma Halter-Neck Satin Maxi Dress

Big fan of How to Lose a Guy In 10 Days? This is the dress for you. Plus, Timothée Chalamet reminded us how amazing butter yellow still looks on the Oscars red carpet this year!

After Six Pleated Cap Sleeve Charmeuse Gown

Speaking of the Oscars red carpet, Andrew Garfield made brown look effortlessly chic on the carpet this year. (Am I taking my spring wedding guest dress inspiration from two guys? Yep — inspiration can come from anywhere, y'all!)

BHLDN Tessa Halter V-Neck High-Shine Satin Maxi Dress

Sage green is seriously the perfect color for a spring soirée! I love the lily details down the front of the dress, and the satin fabric just looks so light and chic.

Banana Republic Twisted Shoulder Maxi Dress

Ever since I saw Meg in Hercules, I knew I wanted the perfect slouchy Greek-inspired dress. This Banana Republic maxi dress is giving all that and then some!

Mac Duggal Black Crepe Sleeveless Beaded V Neck Gown With Bow

I know black doesn't exactly exude spring, but I think the floral, beaded embellishments really take this dress there. As a New Yorker, I basically wear black all the time, so it's nice to have an option that actually suits the season!

Adrianna Papell Foiled Trumpet Gown

Okay, you may think, "Hm...this is basically the butter yellow dress you dropped in above," but you would be wrong. The foiled pattern on this dress add a unique elegance to the look that definitely differentiates it from the other gown. Plus, a halter top is so springy — I can't help but have more than one in this roundup!

Lulus Gemmi Light Blue Satin Jacquard Drop Waist Maxi Dress

Drop waist dresses are EVERYTHING right now. So pairing that with the light blue jacquard I already love so much? Yeah, you've got a real winner with this gown.

V. Chapman Vera Ruffle-Strap Corset Side-Slit Midi Dress

Corsets are still very much in right now. I love how dainty and delicate this dress looks, while still being a darker navy blue. Again, it's giving a great option for the girlies who don't exactly love a spring pastel, but still wanna adopt a lighter feel to their look!

The A&F Giselle Drop-Waist Maxi Dress

Butter yellow + a drop waist + a strapless neckline? That's a recipe for elegance you just can't pass up! I can totally picture dancing the night away in this stunning pleated skirt!
