From the Ancient Egyptians' fascination with wigs to the risqué bob hairstyles of the 1920s flapper, cosmetology continues to play an important role with the ever-changing appearance of society. Since fashion is constantly changing, keeping up with trends requires continual training and remaining up-to-date with the practices and looks of modern hairstyles.
Health, shine and manageability are currently the most important qualities people associate with hair. Sleek hairstyles have taken the place of the 'big hair' looks characterizing the 1980s and early 1990s. Modern hairstyles emphasize a natural appearance. While over-the-top hairstyle trends certainly still exist, people have gradually sought to obtain more flattering looks for their face and hair-type.
Today's beauty and fashion magazines suggest the best modern hairstyles will vary according to the shape of a person's face, attempting to make it resemble a perfect oval. Those with round faces can elongate and minimize their circularity with longer, sleeker hairstyles. A square face can be softened with a blunt-cut style that is full around the jaw. A long face can appear shortened with a bob cut rounding off at the corners of the temples.
So, which modern hairstyles are most popular? Here is a list of several styles currently being sought:
1980s-inspired styles. With an emphasis on texture and movement, these hairstyles generally include shorter top layers, giving volume to wavy or curly hair. Instead of the generic permed look usually associated with 1980s fashion, these modern hairstyles focus on enhancing natural wave and texture. This does not mean back-combing, feathering and mile-high bangs are back in style. These modern hairstyles tend to be muted versions of the originals, influenced by the current emphasis on sleekness and shine.
The modern bob. The classic short, blunt hairstyle popular during the 1950s and 1960s has returned. Modern bob styles often include bangs, ranging from sweeping, side bangs to heavy, blunt bangs that skim the eyelashes. Definitions of the standard bob haircut have also grown to include both short and medium hair lengths, with an emphasis on bluntness around the hair line, and the inclusion of layers to provide texture and amplification. Many modern bob styles incorporate various angles, whether bluntly cut or blended. Often stylists will use razors on a dry cut to help achieve this choppy look.
Long hair. Today's celebrities utilize hair extensions- whether wavy, curly or straight- to create instant length which has made long, flowing styles the coveted summer look. A variety of layer lengths add dimension and texture to any hair-type. Modern hairstyles prefer a rounded cut over a square one.
To maintain whichever desired modern hairstyle a person chooses, cosmetologists recommend getting a haircut every six to eight weeks. The extent of damage done to a person's hair can be controlled by limiting the number of styling products to two at a time; one product to coat and protect the hair during styling and another to hold the desired look in place and add shine.
