4. Bobs
If you can’t deal with the summer heat and have hair sticking to your neck and back, wrap your hair up and wear a bob wig! The bob hairstyle is back in – was it ever out of style? Even though it’s short in length, the bob can be styled in so many ways and have a refreshing look each time.
You can add a fringe to your bob, but 2021 is seeing a lot of side parted bobs, in particular. Either way you prefer, try out this hairstyle trend with a wig if you’re not confident in cutting your natural hair that short. Who knows, you’ll be feeling even more confident and chic with this hairstyle.
5. Pixie Cut

Go even shorter with the pixie cut. This is a timeless classic hairstyle that’s seeing more and more women with it every year. 2021 seems to be the peak of pixie cuts. You don’t have to style as much and it’ll look flawless all day every day. This hairstyle best suits an oval-shaped face and heart-shaped face, but if you’re not sure, get a wig and try the style out! Wear a pixie cut wig in summer to beat the heat – a lot of people do.
6. Curtain Fringe
This next hairstyle trend is all over social media. Instagram, YouTube, TikTok – you name it. Bring back the ‘70s curtain fringe. It made its comeback in 2020 and it’s here to stay in 2021 as well. Curtain fringe will make you feel modern yet retro. It’s so easy to care for and style, so it’s perfect for those who aren’t that big into styling.
You can have various lengths of curtain fringe. It can be as short as bangs so you’ll have curtain bangs. It can go with long or short hair. That’s one of the two most common lengths. The other is chin level. This length of curtain fringe is best for those with longer hair length. Depending on your wig length, you can style your curtain fringe accordingly.7. One Length
While layers are all the rage the past few years, the one length trend is in this year. This hairstyle trend can come in all sorts of lengths and they all work. A shorter hairstyle that’s cut at one length gives a more edgy vibe. If you have a long one length cut, it gives a more feminine vibe.
Depending on how you style this hairstyle, it can give you various vibe as well for various occasions. When you style it straight, it’ll give you a more sophisticated look. When you style it curly, the curls are more defined and add volume as compared to layered hairstyles. Play around with various wig lengths and volume to see which combination suits you best.
8. Asymmetrical Bob
We know the bob is in. Why not take it up a notch with an asymmetrical bob? The uneven look is pretty trendy this year, and that’s applied to the short bob cut as well. Take an eddy twist to the classic bob with a long on one side and short on the other.
Match this with a side part for a chic, modern look. You can play around with various shades of wigs and highlights to expand your asymmetrical bob styling options.
9. Rounded Afro
Get rid of the hair straightener this year and embrace those natural curls. For those who don’t have curls, get wigs with them. Curls and coils are super trendy this year, especially the rounded afro. The shape of this hairstyle is what catches the attention of many women in 2021.
The ‘lion cut’ screams confidence and sexiness. Cut and form your wig to get the best shape possible. Consider your preferred parting section, face shape and texture of the wig before styling this hairstyle.
10. Face Framing Layers
Last but not least, layers. Even though the straight, one cut is a trendy hairstyle this year, so are layers. Specifically ones that frame the face. There’s a hairstyle that’s popular recently, and that’s the 2-cut layer. This is where there’s only two lengths: one is a few inches below the chin, and the other one just above the chest. This gives more dynamic to the hairstyle.
Play around with all sorts of layers that frame your face shape well. You can do all of that with wigs and not having to touch your natural hair at all! Adding hair accessories can up the game further.
