Tortoiseshell hair. The shag. Coloured roots. Haircut and colour trends will always come and go, but what if you’re just after something simple that can suit, well, anyone?
You know, something universally flattering that you’ll be able to look back at in photos in years to come without shaking your head fervently or cringing.
Here to guide us in what styles will always be “in” (just like the Little Black Dress or a crisp white shirt) are hair experts with decades of industry experience between them.
1. The long bob.
“The classic long bob (lob) is the universal haircut that pretty much suits everyone. It’s a look that can be styled a lot of different ways and suits pretty much every texture of hair,” explains Joey Scandizzo,ELEVEN Australia co-Creative Director and three-time Hairdresser of the Year.

“You can wear it smooth and sleek or alternatively my favourite way to style this look is to spray the hair with I Want Body Volume Spray ($24.95) from ELEVEN Australia. It adds a perfect dry texture that brings a modern edge to the cut.”
2. Hair cuts that “hug”.
“I’ve always been a big fan of ‘hair hugging’ haircuts that tend to sit closely to the skin and with soft edges. I’m also not the Hair Police in saying what’s in and what’s not, as at the end of the day a haircut has to work within your day to day routine,” explains celebrity stylist and owner of Raw Salon, Anthony Nader.
“This hair length can be any length which is what I like the freedom of. You can be sporting a short pixie, a bob, or extreme long layered hair – as long as the base line is soft and worn-in that’s the key. No blunt hard lines that tend to stay stagnant and rigid in appearance.”
