Birkin Bangs

Birkin Bangs

Birkin bangs were popularized in the 70s by Jane Birkin, British actress and singer. The style is coming back in 2024, with celebrities like Anne Hathaway and Jenna Ortega paving the way.

The bangs are typically the length of the eyebrow, and the style is shorter and blunter than the popular curtain bang. The wispy volume of the 2024 version of Birkin bangs breathes new life into this classic style.

Low Contrast Roots

Low Contrast Roots

This year, we’re letting our roots grow out. The low contrast roots style emphasizes your natural root color with highlights closer to your mid-cheek to bring the focus back to your facial features.

It doesn’t require near-constant maintenance and gives an effortless look to the wearer. More and more people are choosing to go for the more down-to-earth styles rather than the high-concept or high-maintenance ones of the past few years.

Bows

Bows

If there’s one trend that has dominated 2024, it’s bows. Coquette core has taken the world by storm, allowing people to include more romantic and playful elements in their style.  

A big part of this trend has been the resurgence of hairbows. Bows are no longer just for the little girls in your life. They’re a fashion statement that embraces childlike wonder with a touch of elegance.

Blunt Bob

Blunt Bob

Hailey Bieber chopped her hair in 2023, so we already know it’s a trend going into 2024. She decided on a blunt, chin-length bob. With this style, you can go for short and sleek, wavy, or even an up-do.

The blunt bob is the perfect hairstyle for spring. It’s light, airy, and doesn’t take a lot of time to style. We know a lot of people are grateful to be dealing with less hair as it gets hotter outside.

Red with Blue Undertones

Red with Blue Undertones

The bright, in-your-face red hair of the past is taking a cooler turn in 2024. A new hair color making a statement this year is red with blue undertones.

Dua Lipa is to thank for popularizing this color. People are taking a bolder approach to the natural warm reds we’ve become used to. The cooler tones create a darker color that gives a mysterious vibe.

Cropped and Curly

Cropped and Curly

Curls can be kept loose and teased out or short and defined. In 2024, stars are holding their curls close. The cropped and curly hairstyle can be seen on actress Julia Garner.

Cropped and curly can be achieved with any length, style, or texture of hair. Curl-defining creams can aid in creating the definition you want. We love seeing people embrace their natural curls.

Asymmetrical Bob

Asymmetrical Bob

The side-part is fighting for its place in 2024, and we think it may have a home with the asymmetrical bob. Halle Berry is well-known for her take on this look, leaving length on top and cutting one side shorter.

Another way to do this is leave length in the front of your hair, so that it is long enough to pull back if you want it out of your face.

Polished Shag

Polished Shag

2023 was full of sharp edges, but 2024 is coming in a little softer and sleeker. The popular shag of last year has now turned into the polished shag, which has more rounded edges, giving that polished finished.

This style has longer, straighter layers than a regular shag. Stars like Jenna Ortega and Emma Chamberlain have had similar cuts. Take a flat iron and flip the ends for a retro feel.

Halo Cut

Halo Cut

The halo cut is reminiscent of a bowl cut but with a modern flair. The hair frames your face, putting you at the center of the halo effect. Probably the best example of this style is Florence Pugh.

The bangs curve around the top of your face around your eyebrows, while the rest of your hair can be cut anywhere from chin-length to the collarbone.

Wide Headbands

Wide Headbands

Wide headbands have become much more than just athletic wear in 2024. They’ve become a popular and versatile accessory, endorsed by celebrities like Bella Hadid. They’re celebrated for their laid-back look.

Headbands are helpful for practical reasons like keeping your hair back but can also serve as fashion statements. They fit very well within the “clean girl aesthetic” that prioritizes low-maintenance, natural makeup, and simplicity.

Barrettes

Barrettes

Barrettes may have started out as a way to keep your child’s hair in place, but no more! These hair accessories have made it big in the fashion world, with stars like Sydney Sweeney wearing them to big events.

Barrettes can elevate any look. You can even choose fun shapes or colors to give your professional look a little more personality. They are yet another fashion statement with practical purposes.

Side Swept Bangs

Side Swept Bangs

You may have thought that side swept bangs are a thing of the past, but they are making their way back into the public eye, along with the side part.

Dua Lipa is the best example of pulling off this look in 2024. With her hair in an updo, she sweeps her cascading bangs to one side, framing her face in a way to accentuate her cheekbones.

Lots of Volume

Lots of Volume

2024 has seen the birth of the “mob wife aesthetic,” which is a bold and maximalist style. Along with that trend, we’re going to see lots of big hair.

Long hair will have its time to shine this season. We’re embracing and enhancing naturally curly or bouncy hair with plenty of teasing and volumizing spray to get the full effect.

Rebel Pixie

Rebel Pixie

The pixie cut is back and better than ever with this rebellious version. The rebel pixie is cropped short but left a little untamed. The somewhat choppy layers add depth and dimension to the look.

The cut is as low maintenance as they come, styling completely up to your preference. Leave it a little wild and unmanicured to make it a bold statement of your individuality.

Slicked Back

Slicked Back

Sleek and slicked back looks started becoming more and more common in 2023 with the rise of the “clean girl aesthetic.” However, the wet and slicked back style is what’s making waves in 2024.

The style can be done with any hair length, but it’s usually easier to work with short hair. Just run a gel or volumizing mousse through the length of your hair.

Oversized Hairpins

Oversized Hairpins

Updos have become increasingly popular, and with that comes the need for hair accessories to hold the updo in place.  People have taken the need for functionality and turned it into a fashion statement.

Oversized hairpins are used to secure updos in place, such as French twists. They can add flare to an otherwise normal hairstyle. It’s a chance to show off your personality with hairpins like flowers or other fun designs.

Eyelash Bangs

Eyelash Bangs

The rise of eyelash bangs is great news for straight-haired girls. This take on bangs requires little styling other than the initial cut. Just let your hair flow straight down. Eyelash bangs are almost too long, but not quite.

The middle of your bangs should be a little shorter so they’re not actually in your eyes, while the sides of your bangs are longer and blend in with the rest of your hair.

Bronde

Bronde

Bronde is precisely what it sounds like: a mix between the blonde and brunette hair colors. This style showcases a return to natural hair colors. With its natural and soft appearance, the color highlights natural beauty.

The medium shade doesn’t have the platinum or drastically dark colors that have been popular in the past few years. Those colors are difficult to maintain, while bronde is much more likely to blend in with your natural color.

Mid-Length Lob

Mid-Length Lob

This summer, we’re chopping our hair. To do that, though, you don’t have to commit to a full pixie cut or even a bob. The mid-length lob, coming down to about your shoulders is a popular choice.

This haircut can be styled any way you want or not styled at all. Waves or curls make for a more romantic look, while sleek and straight gives off a powerful vibe.

Marshmallow Pink

Marshmallow Pink

Although natural colors seem to be coming back in style, bold colors will never be going away. In February of this year, Megan Fox showed off her new marshmallow pink hair, and fans instantly fell in love.

The bright color is screaming 2010s Tumblr, the perfect mix of rebellion and pastel dreams. This hair color is spring personified, and we know we’ll see a lot more of it as we go into the warmer months.
