Flipped Ends
Inspired by the 60s, flipped ends were everywhere in the early 2000s. Especially when done with layered hair, the style adds volume and dimension, making it a fantastic choice for those who want to frame their most striking features. Using a round brush, blow dry your hair and direct the tips to flip outwards. To ensure that your locks stay in place, a curler might be useful. The Philips Sublime Ends Curler is a fantastic option for those looking to create loose curls that will perfect this style.
Mermaid Curls
Don't be intimidated by mermaid curls! Though it may look complex to recreate, it's incredibly easy, especially with a hair waver. But fear not: the look can also be recreated using a plain hair curler or even a flat iron! A multi-styler—which can be used to straighten or curl hair—would be the perfect tool to invest in for those looking to recreate mermaid curls or simply want a versatile investment.

Sleek yet edgy, the spiky bun has had its fair share of time on the red carpet. Bella Hadid and Billie Eilish have both sported the look, which was made famous by the likes of Lucy Lui and Hillary Duff in the early 2000s. To create the style, make sure to keep the hair tight and secure with bobby pins. Then, twist the hair up and wrap it into a bun; don't worry about leaving some ends to hang—that's essential for this look. After securing the bun, straighten the ends of your hair with a straightening device (Dyson's Corrale Hair Straightener, Paul Mitchell's Neuro Smooth Titanium Flat Iron, and Philips Essential Hair Straightener are some good choices) and voila! Y2K chic.
Super Straight Locks
It's simple, it's straightforward, but it's never boring. Super straight locks is a fantastic choice for the indecisive. Simply blow dry your hair with your rusted dryer, part hair at the centre, and straighten in sections. It's a quick and easy look that also channels the trends of today.
