From the ubiquitous ombr&eacute; dye to man buns, reminisce on the most popular hair trends of the last decade.

It seems that <a href="https://www.lofficielph.com/fashion/according-to-the-runways-top-spring-summer-2021-hair-trends" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hairstyles</a> that were once in, and then decidedly out&mdash;<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/celebrity-mullet-haircut-miley-cyrus" target="_blank" rel="noopener">mullets</a>, we're looking at you&mdash;are back in a big way. With all of the current love being shown for hair trends of the '70s, '<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/80s-hairstyles-for-2021-trends-mullet-curly-hair" target="_blank" rel="noopener">80s</a>, and '90s, the once-cool looks of the last decade have slipped from our collective conscious. But who knows, once the trend cycle makes its way around again, our favorite hairstyles from the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/2010-forgotten-fashion-trends-celebrity-tumblr" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2010s</a> might just make a comeback. Here, L'OFFICIEL recaps 10 of the top hair trends from the decade that brought us man buns and ombr&eacute; mania.

Massive, puffy hair buns offered a pulled-together look that went along with our <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/ballet-flat-trend-style-inspiration" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ballet flats</a> and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/skinny-jeans-out-gen-z-millennials-tiktok" target="_blank" rel="noopener">skinny jeans</a>.&nbsp;

Donut Buns

Ombr&eacute; hair was pretty much inescapable throughout the 2010s. Celebrities with long and short hair alike dyed their locks with the gradient look, most often opting for a honey-blonde finish at the ends.&nbsp;

Ombré

While Bump Its techinically <a href="https://www.glamour.com/story/i-tried-it-the-bump-it-hair-in" target="_blank" rel="noopener">debuted in 2009</a>, the hair styling tool's impact was seen into the next decade. From Snooki's signature 'do to Blair Waldorf's headbanded looks, a little (or a lot) of volume was expected.

The Pouf

Creative braids were all the rage in the 2010s, with waterfall braids providing a deceptively simple option to recreate.

<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/13/fashion/man-buns-are-holding-on-in-brooklyn.html?_r=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Man buns</a> went fully mainstream in the 2010s thanks to celebrities like <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/men/jared-leto-interview-finneas-billie-eilish-morbius" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jared Leto</a>, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/young-photos-of-david-beckham" target="_blank" rel="noopener">David Beckham</a>, and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/men/katy-perry-orlando-bloom-montecito-mansion" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Orlando Bloom</a>, alongside the top-knotted bartenders and baristas that aligned the look with hipster culture.

Man Buns

Another alternative braid option, fishtail braids were seen on red carpets and how-to YouTube tutorials throughout the decade.

Fishtail Braids

In the latter half of the 2010s, it became popular to chop off your hair&mdash;but not&nbsp;too short. Instead of the classic chin-grazing bob, the lob ("long bob") emergered as the preferred cut.&nbsp;

The Lob

Along with ombr&eacute; hair, it became popular to add just a touch of color with dip-dyed hair. If you wanted to partake in the trend but didn't want to commit to the color, products like hair chalk allowed you to play with <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/best-temporary-hair-color-semi-permanent-hair-dyes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">temporary hair colors</a>.&nbsp;

Dip-Dye Hair

While Gen Z has declared that <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/hair-parted-in-the-middle-gen-z-trend" target="_blank" rel="noopener">center parted hair is superior</a>, side parts and bangs swooped to the side were once the dominating style.

Side Bangs

Hair feathers were a defining feature for the boho vibe of the 2010s and were particularly popular among festival-goers and musical figures like Selena Gomez, Ke$ha, and, famously, Steven Tyler.
