Curl it, twist it, crimp it, 'jchuzz' it – there's a texture for all
Wigs are more popular than ever as shoppers search for new ways to safely style their hair. But, what will the hottest looks be in 2021? Brittany Johnson, licensed hairstylist and senior content manager for US hair brand Mayvenn, breaks down the top 5 wig trends and styles for black women that will be popular in the New Year.
Rich colour combos in varying shades of warm, reddish tones will continue to take over in 2021. It’s an opportunity to try a look that’s lighter and brighter, without committing to the upkeep of going blonde. This look can be toned to perfectly suit your natural undertones, while still feeling new and fresh. Here we’ve used Mayvenn’s Water Wave Hair in a 14” Lace Closure and 14”, 16”, 18” bundles.
Get The Look: Ask your stylist to use shades of copper, strawberry blonde, or auburn to create a look that’s one of a kind. Don’t forget to grab colour-safe styling products!
Natural hair is some of the most beautiful inspiration there is. We’ve continued to go back to our roots, and thankfully aren’t showing any signs of slowing down. This Kinky Straight in 16”, 18”, 20” bundles is paired with a U-Part, and mimics your natural texture after a fresh blow out, and can be styled in so many ways. The secret? Less styling product is truly more!
Get The Look: Start with your favourite heat protectant, and detangle thoroughly. Blowdry and gently stretch your hair, then blend your leave-out.
The Body Wave is one of the most versatile textures there is, and that’s just a fact. It’s super low maintenance, which makes it the perfect style for starting the New Year off right. Wear it naturally wavy like this for an easy-going, subtle way to turn up the texture with a 22” Lace Front Body Wave Wig.
Get the look: DIYing it at home? Put six-eight loose braids in your wig, then let them set overnight. When your alarm clock goes off the next morning, simply undo the braids, rake your fingers through, and go!
Pick up some Deep Wave bundles in 20”, 24”, 26”, 26”, add an 18” frontal to get the free-flowing vibes that curly bundles bring – super necessary after the stress of 2020. Plus, they’re also timeless and can last forever – and a carefree style is much-needed during uncertain times.
Get the Look: Be sure to keep your favourite detangler and wide-tooth comb on deck, and twist or pineapple your hair at night. As long as you keep the natural curls tangle-free and moisturised, you’re all set for this style.
The colours in this highlighted look are serving the perfect “bronde” balance – that’s blonde + brown if you aren’t familiar with the term. Starting with a 14” Straight Lace Frontal and 20” bundles, this custom colour is accomplished using a combination of highlights and lowlights throughout. The pops of colour make this look fun, while the versatility in the brown and blonde tones means you can rock it during any season.
Get the Look: Ask your stylist to leave a bit of a blended dark root, and bring the highlights higher and brighter around the hairline to frame your face.
