Hair trends to try this spring 2026 The mushroom cut of the 70s is back baby
Every spring the same thing happens: we feel an almost physical need to trim, lighten, refresh, and change something. Maybe it’s that feeling of a fresh start that makes us want to get a haircut. The fact is, when March arrives, the appointment at our trusted hairdresser is practically already set. So goodbye to dull, lifeless winter lengths: it’s time for lighter, shinier, more vibrant hair. And for those not ready to cut, there are plenty of hairstyles and accessories to try. Here are the hair trends to watch this spring 2026.
Hair trends and cuts to try this spring 2026
The Japanese Bob
The Japanese bob is a chin-length cut with super precise lines and a slight inward curve that frames the face. It’s neat, clean, almost strict. Its ideal look is with sleek, glossy, glass-effect styling. But it’s also one of those cuts that can handle any variation: soft waves, a last-minute side part, clips, and hair accessories.
Victorian curls
Whether inspired by Margot Robbie in Wuthering Heights or simply because we all feel like the protagonists of a period drama, Victorian curls are increasingly appearing on red carpets. They are soft but not overly perfect waves, with slight root volume and a few loose strands framing the face.
70s mushroom cut
The mushroom cut is making a strong comeback: seen on the runway, it will soon be everywhere on the streets. Uniform lengths frame the face on every side, fringe included. It’s the perfect cut if you have personality to spare and want to show it: a true statement to play with and experiment this season.
Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy headbands
Again, cinema is influencing trends (this time from the series American Love Story about Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy and John F. Kennedy). The headband is the new must-copy detail: minimal, elegant, a small touch that instantly elevates any look. Pair it with a low ponytail, a quick chignon, or wear it with loose hair.
Retro blowout
The beauty of a blowout is that it can have a different mood every day. Why not take inspiration from retro styles, where the trick is in the ends that curve inward or slightly flipped outward, creating volume and movement? A flat iron is your ally, but always protect your hair before styling.
