Spring always brings with it the desire to go into spring cleaning mode and organize our homes and spaces…but our hair deserves a refresh too!
We’re no longer able to hide bad hair days under a cute beanie now that spring is here. We’re spending more time out and about with friends, and of course we want to look great for summer events coming up soon!
Hairstyles and cuts in 2024 are gravitating towards anything reminiscent of the 90s! Bobs, from the shaggy to the Baroque won’t steer you wrong; long, layered butterfly haircuts will help your locks feel healthy and cared for; and nostalgic trends like claw clips are not only coming back, but they’re being improved upon.
Color is big, whether it’s a healthy-looking, natural shade like strawberry blonde or Expensive Brunette, or a vibrant Cherry Coke or lavender gray. We’ve also got some braid hairstyles you can do at home, without spending big bucks at the salon.
Mermaid Shag
If you like the rock n’ roll-inspired shag haircut trend, but also enjoy a little bit of length, you’ll love this variation on the classic. Add some bright colored highlights to really channel your inner mermaid.
Expensive Brunette
Expensive brunette refers to a rich brunette color with lots of dimension. It’s one of the biggest hair trends this year, and it looks wonderful styled with long layers and waves.
Think Pink
Spring is the time to make a bold change, like adding your favorite bright color to your hair–think pink, mauve, or turquoise. Going with an ombre version can make the color easier to maintain.
Flowers
Look at this cute idea to give your hair a spring aesthetic! There is a brilliant hack to help these flowers stay in your hair: lash glue! When you’re finished, they are easily removed with water.
Hair Scarf Updo
A hair scarf is a good way to freshen up your hairstyle without waiting for an appointment at your favorite hairstylist. A pastel or floral scarf woven into a braid provides color, making it perfect for spring. See this post for even more inspo: 15 Bandana and Scarf Hairstyles.
Cherry Coke
Cherry Coke as a hair color is a viral Tiktok invention; it’s a reddish brown inspired by Y2K nostalgia. It’s also (relatively) healthy for your hair, since those of us with dark hair can reach that vibrant color without multiple bleaching sessions.
Chunky Highlights
Chunky highlights are trending in 2024, but they’ve undergone some improvements since the last time they were a thing. Instead of perfectly straight, Kelly Clarkson-esque gold highlights, these are a little more uneven and natural looking.
Y2K Flower Clips
Any Y2K-era hair accessories are fair game now! Who else remembers those pearl button hair clips from the early 2000s? These sparkly, all-over flower clips are similar.
Sleek Blunt Bob
Bobs are having a big moment this year, whether asymmetrical, texturized, or inspired by old Hollywood. Sleek, blunt bobs like this one have been popularized by Elle Fanning, America Ferrara, and Michelle Williams.
Curtain Bangs
We all still want curtain bangs this year! Thanks to Dakota Johnson and Heidi Klum, they aren’t going anywhere anytime soon. They look best paired with long, wavy layers, or even a shag cut!
Butterfly Clips
These butterfly clips scream ‘90s and early 2000s style, and they are a playful accessory to add some color to your hair for spring.
The Claw Clip
Claw clips are back and then some, only this time we have the internet to teach us how to wear them. (Was I the only one who couldn’t keep them from falling out?) Instagram and Tiktok are full of claw clip hairstyle tutorials to help you perfect the art of claw clip hairstyles.
Strawberry Blonde
This hairstyle is trending this year, and it’s easy to duplicate the look with large rollers or a blowout brush! Strawberry blonde is a classic color that will never go out of style.
Hair Scarf
Make your messy bun a little bit fancier this spring by weaving in a cute hair scarf! Luckily for those of us whose hair is challenged in the thickness department, a scarf helps portray the illusion of a thicker bun.
Layered Butterfly Cut
If you love your long hair and don’t want to cut it short, simply have your hairstylist freshen up your locks with a layered butterfly cut like this one.Your locks will feel fresh and healthy afterwards!
Baroque Bob
Be inspired by Zendaya’s Old Hollywood bob, aka the Baroque Bob. Ask your hairstylist to show you how to style this at home–it’s all about the blow drying and curling iron technique!
Embrace Natural Waves
Going natural and embracing your hair’s natural waves is always in style! Baby’s breath is the perfect flower to work into a hairstyle, and this laid-back look is so pretty for spring.
Pink Bow
Hair accessories are big this season, and a sweet mini hair bow is an easy way to add a touch of spring to your hair style.
Edgy Braid
Channel your inner Black Widow with an edgy side braid. Perfect for a day at the farmer’s market with a friend.
Purple Gray
A silvery, lavender toned hair color has been very popular the last few years, and it’s easy to see why! It’s eye-catching and looks great with any style.
Peekaboo Highlights
Peekaboo highlights are a very fun, quirky way to incorporate a little bit of color without going all out. They are fun in a picture, but they are even more fun in real life when playing around with different styles! This vibrant blue-black is one of the most popular colors this season as well.
Dutch Buns
Dutch braids ending in mini messy buns is a cute way to keep your hair out of the way without having to go to the salon!
