Women stumbling upon this blog must all be feeling the same familiar itch, the one we feel before wanting to shake up our physical appearance. Change is exhilarating and there’s little to lose when it comes to your hair. Follow along below to see our top 3 picks for women’s haircuts in 2020!
Modern Bob
This year hair is taking a trip back to times of liberation and free spiritedness. The bob is perhaps the most popular hair trend to resurface in the last year and continues to be a popular choice among women of all ages. The modern bob is a twist on the short hair styles that were popular among women during the 1920’s and the women’s empowerment movement.
70’s Tribute
The 1970’s are known for being lackadaisical and hairstyles at that time were no exception. Where the mullet has yet to make a prominent comeback, curtain bangs, the textured shag, and other bold fringes are in fact back and better than ever. These 70’s inspired hairstyles are great for their relaxed, timeless, and effortless vibes.
One Length
While the one-length hair trend is most easily observed as a bob, the same polished and blunt effect can be had on hair of any length. This structured look is much more modern than the wavy and beachy textures that have been popular in recent years and is a trend commonly sported by celebrities and in the form of wigs.
Conclusion
Whether we can blame quarantine for all the locks lost this year or another nostalgic beauty industry trend, it looks like modern spins on classic hairstyles are here to stay. You would only trust an expert to help you achieve a bold new haircut, so do the same when you want it styled perfectly before a big event!

Your hair is your crowning glory. You take care of it by
washing and conditioning it, using the best styling products you know of to
achieve the look you desire, and maybe by throwing in a special treatment to
give your strands a boost in the right direction. You might know what products
to use for hair based on the styles from popular magazines and makeover shows,
but do you really know your hair and
what it truly needs? To better understand what you need for an impeccable head
of hair, you need to first understand your hair porosity. Then you should be
able to choose the best products for your individual needs.
What is hair porosity?
Porosity can be defined as your hairs ability to accept and
hold on to moisture. Moisture is everything if you want an amazing head of
hair. Without the proper moisture your delicate strands need, they can become
more prone to frizz, dryness, and breakage. When you understand your hair’s
porosity, you can choose the proper hair care products to create the perfect
do’ and enhance the health of your hair.
Types of Porosity
There are three types of hair porosity: Low, Normal, and
High. You can naturally have a particular type of porosity, but constant hair
manipulation can cause your hair to become more or less porous.
Low Porosity
Do you find yourself trying to saturate your hair with water
longer than most people? If you walk through a mist of water, do you see water
beaded up on your hair like flakes of snow? If so, then you most definitely
have low porosity hair. This hair type is prone to products sitting on top of
the hair instead of absorbing and tends to be on the drier side. This is due to
the fact that your hair cuticles lie flat and are not lifted to accept much
needed moisture. Oddly enough, your hair will take a long time to dry once it
is fully saturated with water. Why? Because once water is able to finally
penetrate the cuticle, the cuticle closes again trapping moisture.
Since this type of hair is the most delicate, it is
important for the person to hydrate properly. Using water-soluble products is
best and try to avoid heavy oils and products. Deep conditioning is a must for
a lush, hydrated head of hair so make sure you deep condition with heat (such
as with a hooded dryer, heat cap, etc.) to lift up your hair cuticles so the
conditioner can penetrate effectively.
Normal (Medium)
Porosity
If you have normal hair porosity, you are the envy of the
town! Your hair type can easily accept moisture and you can even cocktail the type
of products you use to suit your needs. The cuticles open and close easily when
they need to, so water and products can penetrate just fine. Your haircare
routine can change with the weather, so pay attention to your mane and give it
what it needs!
High Porosity
Does your hair soak up moisture and products like it’s never
soaked in them before? If so, your hair has high porosity, meaning your
cuticles tend to stay open. Using heavy products can weigh your hair down
quickly, so make sure to look for lightweight, silicon-free products to style
and care for your hair.
How to Find out Your
Porosity
Now that you know the general guidelines on hair porosity,
you might have an idea about which category your hair falls under. But to find
out for sure, there are a few different ways to perform a hair porosity test.
Some easy, popular ways to determine your porosity are the water shed test or
the hair strand test.
Water Shed Test
Wet a small section of hair with a spray bottle and watch how
the water reacts with the hair. Is it sitting on top? Then you have low
porosity hair. Is the water absorbed quickly? Then you have high porosity.

Hair Strand Test
Take a strand of hair and place it in a cup of clean water.
If it floats, it is of low porosity. If it sinks to the bottom, it is of high
porosity. If it floats to the middle, then it is of normal porosity.
Sometimes women have multiple types of hair porosity at
once. If you suspect this, use separate cups of water and pick strands of hair
from different sections of your head where textures seem to differ. This will
help you tremendously with figuring out which products best suit your needs.
Conclusion
As you can see, the styling regimen that works for one
person may not be the same for the next. In order to make that crown of yours
shine and thrive, you need to pick out the right products to suit your low,
normal, or high porosity needs. If you are looking for a knowledgeable hair
stylist to help tame your mane, make sure to call on the experts at Beauty
