While a quick wardrobe switch up is always a welcome idea, there’s nothing quite as transformative—or as instantly satisfying—as a new haircut. Look no further for inspiration: Whether you’re seeking an abbreviated chop, à la model Adwoa Aboah's close crop, or are in the mood for a modern-day upgrade on Jane Fonda's iconic 70s shag, complete with easy trim-them-yourself bangs, there's no rule that says high impact has to mean high-maintenance.

If a hint of retro attitude is up for discussion, Brigit Kos' bold, blunt bob merges the femininity of the ’20s with a dash of center-parted ’90s minimalism, while an off-kilter pixie freshens up the timeless short cut. But when in doubt, don't forget that it all comes down to the styling—with a sweep to one side and a spritz of hairspray, a pile of perfectly layered curls becomes the cool-girl look of the moment. Here are five ways to start fresh this year.
