With society slowly emerging from its coronavirus chrysalis, it's no wonder bright copper hair and daring money pieces are Google's top trending searches for hairstyles in 2021. From cool girl wolf cuts to a Bella Hadid-approved fiery shade, changing your hair is the tried-and-true way of signaling a fresh start, and this year proved to be no different.

Among top trends are Squid Game red, ‘70s-inspired curtain bangs and fluffy tresses. For brunettes, face-framing platinum blonde highlights are the ultimate beauty accessory. Playful hair tinsel is sure to be a popular style for this year’s holiday party season.

Go the DIY route and try the viral TikTok one-minute mullet or opt for an even bolder change by wearing a sassy skunk stripe. Rather than pulling out a pair of tweezers at the first sight of a gray hair, embrace the silver fox look with an eye-catching stripe of dyed hair.

If 2022 is anything like this year, vibrant colors and experimental looks will continue to dominate.
