The Top Spring Hairstyles Trends
Bottleneck bangs
Curtain bangs were a major trend in 2020, and this year, we’re refreshing the look with wispy bottleneck bangs in between. What are bottleneck bangs? They’re piece-y, eyebrow-grazing bangs framed by long side bangs. Think: Jane Birkin. This style of bangs works for any face shape but is particularly beautiful on round faces, because of how the longer side pieces hug the cheekbones.
The grow-out process is also more seamless and natural with bottleneck bangs than with regular bangs. You can do a middle part as the bangs grow out and they’ll blend in with the longer side pieces.
Pretty in Pink
Playful and outside convention, pastel candy hues might be one of our favorite spring hair color trends.
Unsurprisingly, pink hair suits a whole range of complexions, too. Feeling brave? There are many hair kits out there to help you achieve pink hair at home. So, if your hair is already light and cool-toned, you can go straight to the fun part. For those with darker hair, it takes a little more dedication and a trip or two to the salon. If you don’t want to lighten all of your hair, we suggest asking for balayage highlights. This way, the pink will nestle in amongst your natural color.
French girl bob
If you always flirted with the idea of getting an “Amelie” haircut and moving to Paris, now’s the time—maybe for Paris, definitely for the haircut. The cheekbone-length French girl bob has been picking up steam on TikTok, proving this trend has legs far beyond the City of Lights. Apart from the shorter length, signature elements of the French girl bob are short bangs, tousled texture, and light layering around the face and mid-lengths.
This is an excellent spring hairstyle if you want to start over with your color, go back to your natural shade, or unburden yourself from damaged lengths. Don’t be afraid to try this style if you have curly hair! We love a curly French girl bob.
Slicked-back styles
The ultimate lazy girl hair hack, a slicked back ponytail or bun is ideal for in-between wash days, post-gym dinners, or to save time when you’re on vacation. There’s several ways to achieve the sleek slicked-back look: curl creme, hairspray, hair oil… our favorite? Our custom styling gel. Not only does it keep your hair in place, it gives hair a nourishing boost at the same time. Simply wet the hair with a spray bottle, then comb the gel through your hair from root to tip. Brush hair back into a ponytail, et voila!
The short shag
If the wolf cut is a little too bold for you, the short shag may be the ticket. There’s no other way to say this: A short shag is less mullet-y than a wolf cut. The shag is reminiscent of the ‘70s and ‘80s, when big hair was the only way to live. Ask your stylist for lots of layers from the crown down and a ton of texture and movement.
To keep the volume and thickness at the heart of this trend, go for a blunt cut on the ends that’s shoulder-length or shorter.
Honey Red Hair Color
If you’re not feeling bold enough for a bright hue, a softer spring color trend to try could be Honey Red. A new iteration that sits in the middle of strawberry blond and copper, it’s a copper red softened by warm golden and brunette hues. It’s a color that can suit everyone too. If you’re fair, opt for a larger ratio of blonde and golden tones woven in. For deeper skin tones, focus on the brown and copper elements.
The big chop
There are so many ways to style a big chop or (re)start your natural hair journey. You can go for a close crop, a buzz cut, a pixie, or a TWA with a big color change. As the name implies, this is a major hairstyle change, so it’s important to find a stylist that understands your hair texture and exactly what you want. Bring inspiration photos to the salon and ask the stylist if they have photos of super short haircuts they’ve done on other clients.
If your big chop is part of a natural hair journey, talk to your stylist afterward about switching up your hair care and styling routine to include more hydration, or changing your wash day schedule, to nurture and support your new hairstyle.
‘90s layers
This has to be one of our favorite spring hairstyles because it’s so easy to maintain and style. The classic face-framing ‘90s layers were popularized by many A-listers, including those with curly hair.
The key here is cascading front layers that start at the chin and go all the way down the lengths of the hair. For the most part, ‘90s layers are a dry-and-go style. To round them for that signature look, use a rolling brush and blow-dryer to define the layers in the front. Add a few bobby pins or colorful clips on one side for the full ‘90s effect.
The Bow 2.0
Instantly giving any style a way to stand out, adding a bow to your favourite hair styles is an easy way to accessorize. This spring, we’re taking our hair bows to the next level. No longer just for half up-half down hair or ponytails, we’re seeing them adorn intricate styles like braids and up dos too. The best part? They hide any mistakes, too.
