It won't be long until we can finally go to the hairdresser again. And we think: It is high time to try a new hairstyle trend again. You can read here why we are particularly fond of the "Waft Fringe".
The 70s can also be described as the decade of flashy extremes: hippies with long floral dresses, leather vests with fringes, skin-tight, glittering overalls with platform shoes are just some of the trends that have been set here.
But the decade was not only eye-catching in terms of fashion, the 1970s also created distinctive features in terms of beauty, such as the so-called "Waft Fringe". A pony trend that many of us should have remembered. For those who don't remember the retro pony trend: No problem, because you can now see it more and more often with the fashionistas on Instagram. We'll tell you what makes the pony trend so special and why we also want to have it cut for 2021.
Hairstyle trend 2021: The "waft fringe" is back
Back then, beauties like Brigitte Bardot or Farah Fawcett wore softly falling bangs. The hairstyle is also called "Curtain Fringe", among other things. Translated it means something like "curtain pony". Because with this style of pony, the strands can sometimes grow over the eyes and then blow dry to the side. This means that the trend is not only versatile in terms of style, it is also absolutely Corona-compliant. Because unlike with the "normal" pony, we don't have to go to the hairdresser every four to six weeks.
A trend that suits just about every hair type
In addition, the "Waft Fringe" is the perfect option for all those who have always wanted a pony, but have never really dared. The bangs are cut on the side and are a harmless variant of the classic pony with a gentle transition to the rest of the hair. But that was not all. The trend hairstyle from the 1970s has another advantage: it looks good on almost any woman. Because the bangs are not only adaptable in terms of their own hair length, the trend is also very compatible with regard to the hair structure. Whether curly or straight hair: the trend hugs the top hair perfectly and, in short, makes it an all-round talent.
This is the best way to style the pony
In terms of styling, the pony trend can also be classified as particularly easy to care for. No 20-minute hair dryer, straightening irons, curlers or countless hair pins: the bangs look particularly pretty if you style them simply in the undone look. Depending on your hair type, you can also easily let your hair air dry. The resulting slight waves create a voluminous look that can be fixed with a hairspray. A hair oil for the tips ensures a shiny finish. That's it!
While the "waft fringe" looks incredibly romantic and stylish with loose hair with gentle waves, the pony is perfect for everyday wear with a loose bun or a deep ponytail.
