Modern, Stylish Cuts for Women and Men
Like clothes and cars, hairstyles are constantly changing. A cut that was once the rage begins to look dated as a fresh, new hairstyle takes its place. Here are some of the most modern, latest hairstyles being spotted today.
Latest Hairstyles for Women
Women’s hairstyles are seeing a return to soft, feminine waves. Stiff, over-styled hair is out of fashion, and flowing, natural hair is currently in style. Stick straight hair has lost popularity in favor of the softer latest hairstyles. Gone are the days of the zigzag part. Today’s hair parts are simple, straight and right down the middle.
Long Hair
Long hair is one of the latest hairstyles for women. While shorter hair was the fashion for many years, celebrities have begun to wear hair longer and longer and women everywhere have taken note and are following the trend.
Long, smooth layers are also gaining popularity, in response to the trend for longer, softer hair. The cuts featuring short, choppy hair are no longer in style.
Ponytails are being seen everywhere this season, but not the teeny-bopper style ponytails perched high on the head. The latest hairstyles feature hair swept back into low ponytails.
Volume
Full hair with lots of volume is another one of the latest hairstyle trends for women. This look works for any type of hair: straight, curly, long or short.
Japanese Hair Straightening
For women who love the straight look, Japanese Hair Straightening is a chemical process that can turn the curliest locks into straight, silken tresses. This process has been gaining a good deal of popularity in recent years. Also known as Thermal Reconditioning, this process uses heat to straighten curly hair. Japanese Hair Straightening is currently quite costly, and while hair that has been straightened should stay straight, the process must be repeated as new, curly hair grows out.
Color
The latest hairstyles feature lustrous, dark colored hair. Highlights are still seen but have lost quite a bit of popularity, and the trend is moving towards hair dyed one color throughout.
Latest Hairstyles for Men
Just as women’s styles have shifted, men’s styles are also changing. Perhaps the most notable trend in the latest hairstyles is longer hair for men.
Longer Hair

While short styles have ruled for a while, longer hair is coming back for men. Men’s long styles should keep a slim silhouette, not full and bushy. In today’s men’s long hairstyles, the hair skims the shoulders and is worn back, not falling onto the face.
Longer Layers on Top
One of the latest hairstyles for men’s short hair is to cut the hair with longer layers on top and shorter layers at the sides and back of the head.
Retro
Just as retro clothing has gained popularity, seventies hairstyles are also making a comeback, with straight hair parted down the middle now being seen on men.
Color
Like women’s trends in haircolor, the latest hairstyles for men include dying the hair darker, with fewer highlights being seen.
