A new haircut can totally change the way you look and even give your face a new shape. The best part about hairstyles for this year, is that they are extremely low maintenance.

Sexy but simple, these hairstyles suit all types of faces and ages.
Trendy Hairstyles for You
Good ol' Updos
While last year was all about letting your hair down layer upon layer, this year it's time to get them bunched, scrunched and tied up. Yes, updos; neat or messy, are here to stay (once again!) For all you long haired beauties who want that 'something different' in your hairstyle, you can try different kinds of hair updos. For a formal occasion, flatten your hair and tie a neat bun at the nape. Even side buns look gorgeous, so it's your call. For casual occasions and all those times when you're rushing out the door with your bag in one hand and your coffee in the other, just gather all your hair and twist it into a messy bun and fasten it with a fancy clip. It doesn't get easier than this!
Curls and Waves
While straight, sleek, and neat were the key last year, this year you can experiment with your hair by giving it that perm you've always wanted. Yes, perms, waves, twirls, curls are all set to rule the roost this year. So, if you have naturally curly hair (which makes you the luckiest lot this year!), you're well set for some dazzling styles this year. Leave them loose after you wash them and let the wind do the rest. For all the ladies who have straight hair and have always secretly envied bouncy curls, here's the time to do it! Consult your hairdresser about the type of perm that will suit your face the best, and take good care of them once you get them.
Center Parted Hairdos
Every woman has, at least a few hundred times in her life, silently cursed her hair for not 'sitting' right. You make a conscious effort to maintain a particular kind of parting, and your hair very determinedly gets set like it has a life of its own. In short, you're left with a center parting all the time. Well luckily for us, this is the trend this year! So, don't fight the parting this year. Nurture and encourage it. Leave your straight hair open with a center parting for a sleek and sophisticated look. Else, you can tie up your hair into a bun, a ponytail, a braid, whatever you wish. Make a center parting and embellish your hair with pins, clips and other fancy accessories to make it look fresh and stylish!
Neat and Messy Braids
Just when you thought braids were so passé they've made a comeback, and how! The ramps are flooded with braids of all kinds. Single braids, double braids, one braid, two braids, milkmaid braids, simple braids, messy braids, you name it, it's in this year. Not convinced? How about looking at pictures of celebrities like Jennifer Morrison, Alicia Keys, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Jessica Alba, Diane Kruger, Jessica Simpson, Anne Hathaway, Rachel McAdams? They're sporting braids as well. The best part about braids is that you can do so many different things with them. You can have a simple straight one, or you can have a braid tied on one side and pulled over across the top to the other side, tie half a braid and then let it flow into a ponytail. You could even tie a really loose braid and have small tresses let out of the braid. Your options are unlimited, use them!
Bobs with Bangs
Bangs have been in vogue since forever. Whether it's with layers or with short hair, this hairstyles is a hair statement of sorts. More so when you combine them with an extremely stylish crop bob. Sweep them to one side or wear them on the front, bangs just get hotter with every passing season. Though bangs can go with any length of hair, puffed up cropped bobs with bangs is what will bring that 'oomph' factor out and it will show on your face. The only thing this hairstyle demands is religious straightening of the bangs, as even a little frizz can spoil the show of not just your haircut but your face as well. If you have a long oval face go in for straight bangs in the front. If you have a round face, side swept asymmetric fringes will do the trick. To keep your bangs beautiful, condition them well and protect them from harsh wind.
Trendy hairstyles make you look sharper and stylish as compared to coifs of the previous decades. These hairstyles can be worn to work and to college, which makes them universal. Your hair reflects your mood and your personal style. So make sure you pick a good modern hairstyle that speaks volumes about you and sets your own statement!
