At the start of every new year, you may be compelled to shed your old skin and morph into the beautiful butterfly you are, because after all, new year, new you, right?
The most fool proof way to switch up your look is by switching up your hair. Whether you’ve sworn this will be the year you let your hair grow past your ankles or not grow past your ears, there’s something for everyone as we round up the five biggest haircut trends of 2020, so you’ll be sure of what you want before you head to the salon in January.
