6 Spring Hair Trends that are Here to Stay

Spring may seem like it’s an eternity away but these Spring hair trends for 2026 are here to stay! We foresee some of these trends lasting well into Autumn or even Winter of 2026 so don’t worry, you’re not investing in a look that’s over before you walk out the salon doors. Spring is a time of renewal and change and what better way to embrace that than with a look to match? Maybe you’re looking to make a bold statement once beanie weather is over, or just looking for more ways to bring Springtime into your look, but whatever you’re looking for these Spring hair will give you a reason to look forward to tulips, walks in the park, and days where you can’t see your breath as you hustle down the street.

Bellbottom Bob
While we’re referencing a trend from the 1970s there’s nothing out of date about this new style for Spring, the Bellbottom Bob. Unlike a 200s but it’s not stacked, nor is it blunt like a French bob. The Bellbottom Bob is softer, bouncier, and more playful. There is a noticeable flare at the ends that frames the face beautifully and gives you all the rom-com main character energy you’re looking for. Plus, the movement as you walk through the city? Perfection.

Metallic Hues
Metallics are back baby! The rose gold hair craze of the 2010s has expanded to all the metallic hues. Silver, titanium, chrome, pearl etc. These give your hair that shiny, reflective, metal like sheen that makes people stop and go, “How is she doing that?!” This hair is not for the wallflower and colors like metallic lavender or titanium blonde are made to stop traffic. While this leans into a futuristic and high-fashion look you can tone it up or down depending on what level of attention you’re looking for. A subtle pearl sheen is going to be just as beautiful as a full on chrome look, just depends on what level of statement you’re looking to make. Note to the reader, this is going to be a high maintenance color needing gloss refreshes every 4-8 weeks. So make sure you’re prepared to make that investment before you dive in.

Side Bangs
Looking to try something new but not ready to go full Jess from New Girl on your hair? Side bangs may be the perfect style for you. And we’re not talking about the 2000s emo swoop where half your hair ended up on the other side of your head. These are soft, blended, cheekbone grazing layers. People are looking for some softness and shape to their hair again and side bangs are a great way to add that. You can be soft and wispy or long and blended, however bold you’re feeling! But if you have a cowlick heavy hairline this may not be best. Unless you love wrestling your hair every morning, then go for it!

Soft Apricot Blonde
Thinking about that soft springtime morning light? That almost incandescent glow? Well we’re leaning into a peachy color for spring and the result is irresistible. We’re talking about Soft Apricot Blonde. The color that lives in a warm, golden blonde base with that whisper of peach warm that brightens up the look. If you ever wanted your hair to look like it’s glowing, this is the color. It gives you more dimension than flat blonde and is less harsh than platinum with all the head turning action. This look is great if you have warm or neutral skin tones and want a multi-dimensional shine. If you’re a girl who loves the peachy cheeks and nude gloss look, this one is for you!

Romantic Waves
If you watched the Oscars you know that soft, romantic waves are back in a big way (though if you asked us, they never left). This is the hair that gives effortless classic Hollywood vibes while keeping it solidly grounded in the present. This is the hair you’re going to want to touch all day because of how soft it looks! Romantic waves are great for all face shapes so no matter what you’re rocking it looks fabulous. And fine hair? These waves create the illusion of fullness and movement without needing extensions. A medium barrel curling iron and some light hairspray and you’re good to go all day!

Ginger Brunette
Remember Cowboy Copper? Well this is her low-maintenance sister Ginger Brunette. We’re still getting all the warm, vibrant tones but Ginger Brunette leads with a deep brown color that has reddish-ginger highlights or undertones depending on how you decide to embrace it. CowboyCopper was giving that bolder and brighter red that made a huge impact but required a lot of maintenance. So if you want a rich, natural warmth that allows you to spread out a little more time in-between appointments, Ginger Brunette is your new best friend.

Whether you’re looking for something bold like metallic hues or a subtle change with some side bangs, these spring hair trends have something for everyone. So instead of daydreaming about what your hair could look like come spring, why not get a jump on it and bring some Spring to you?! It’s all about keeping yourself sane during these winter months and little changes like this can go a long way!
