Modern Hairstyles 2024: Style Beyond Hair Length

Gone are the super-elaborate hairstyles. Simplistic styles, shorter locks and funky colours are back in vogue. You see celebrities step out of their comfort zone and let go of their signature looks, and it is hard to not emulate them.

No matter how long your tresses are, there is no reason you cannot look stunning. A very wise person had once said, “Never let length get in the way of fabulous hair.” Keeping that in mind, here are styles for every hair length.

Short Hair:

1. Pixie With Side-Swept Bangs:

The pixie cut never seems to go out of style. Here, we see Scarlett Johansson sport the cut, with long, tousled, side-swept bangs.

How To Style:

1. Work a volumizing product through hair and blow-dry in all directions to give your hair a wrapped look.
2. Part hair off to a side and using a straightener, style your bangs into loose waves.
3. Slick back the shorter side and finger-comb through the longer one.
4. Set with a strong hold spray.

The length of this style makes this perfect for those with oval or heart-shaped faces.
