Feelings of renewal, rebirth and refreshment are inevitable when parting ways with the grey and cold winter days. The bright sunshine brings the spirits high, opening the mind to making a change. This year’s hairstyle trends seem to adapt to the carefree moods, so we can say goodbye to the overly styled hair and welcome the effortless and chic styles.

From cuts to colors and accessories, consider these trends whether you are planning a simple trim or a drastic change.

Baroque Bob

Yes, bobs are chic again, but this spring, they are all about a relaxed version of Old Hollywood glamour. The voluminous baroque bob is a rounded, soft haircut that hits right above the shoulders, usually styled with big waves and curls. Forget about the 2023 French and Italian bobs and try this new fun and freeing hairstyle.

The voluminous, round-ended Baroque bob is easy for those blessed with natural curls, but others may need to play with curling wands. At the stylist, the cutting will be easy since all you need is a classic blunt bob cut, and the real work will happen when styling at home. But when you think of the timeless and artsy beauty it brings to your style, it’s totally worth it.

Birkin Bangs

Thanks to her famous effortless aesthetic, Parisian Jane Birkin has inspired numerous trends over the years. This spring, we are welcoming her short, blunt signature bangs. It’s not that we were avoiding them before; it’s just that it seems we found a way to prevent the shortcut and keep the wispy ends.

The Birkin bangs are such a big hit now because they require less hair than regular bangs but come shorter than the long-loved curtain bangs, bringing more dimension around the face. Although they may seem similar, the two styles differ in the length and width of the cut.

Kitty Cut

Imagine a more wearable version of the shag and the 70’s wolf cut. This is what the trendy kitty cut is. It fits people of all ages and hair types, and asks for a very low maintenance since it is longer than a bob. You can style it effortlessly in a classic way with a middle part or make it more playful with a side hair part. It can also easily turn to retro by adding curtain bangs into the mix. The length of the kitty cut can vary from below the chin to collarbones.

What sets this trend apart from the 2023’s favorite 70’s wolf cut is the breezy texture and rounded layers.  

Brigitte Bardot Headbands

Headbands are one of the significant trends in 2024 for a glamorous, vintage-inspired look with a modern twist. If you want to get this Bardot-inspired feel, opt for a thicker headband and wear it close to the hairline. Pair it with a sleek ponytail or loose waves, and voilà—you’ve got a classic and sexy look that goes well with both sporty and evening looks!

Hair Bows

Hair bows are another part of the overall “coquette aesthetic” trend in 2024. They are largely embraced by celebrities, beauty gurus, and fashion runways. Why are bows everywhere around us? First, they fit well with various outfits. They are also easy to incorporate into almost any hairstyle—braids, buns, and even simple ponytails. Finally, bows give an extra touch of class that makes you look like you have landed straight on a red carpet in Paris.

Don’t worry about having too much bows, this trend won’t fade away anytime soon. If Chanel embraced it and Jennifer Lopez was wearing it twice in the same day, you are safe to enjoy bows in all forms, fabrics, and colors.  

Burgundy Brunette

When it comes to colors, spring of 2024 brings bold ruby hues. That is, blue-toned red colors that vibrant and deep road, dominating over the typical ginger spice that we all got used to over the last few years.

However, the key to keeping this look trendy is to make sure your hair will stay shiny and vivid for as long as possible. Having in mind that red is not that easy to upkeep if you want to ensure the best red for your hair, it’s recommended to go to a colorist who can minimize damage with quality salon hairproducts and point you towards an effective home routine to keep your color looking its best.

Elevated Up-dos

The slicked-back style has always been and always will be chic. A French twist, sleek bun, or chignon, messy or tight, all of them are still in for those who prefer an elegant look. So, this is actually no new trend; the only good news is that you can keep rocking them.

Sleek and Shiny Velvet

Another all-time winner is the healthy and glossy hair with a luxurious velvet feel in glimmer and movement. However you choose to wear it, well-kept hair will always turn heads. Being a huge trend for 2024, now this look is made possible with many glossing treatments and colors with a multi-dimensional shine.

But why not keep your hair naturally healthy through heat protection and good hydration? Instead of trying to fake the shine with iridescent pigments, use your time at the stylist to treat your hair with high quality solutions such as Alter Ego hair products, based on natural ingredients that provide deep conditioning treatments and keep your hair moisturized and silky.

Whatever of these trends you choose to follow, make sure that the health of your hair is a priority.
