11 Spring Hair Trends We’re Obsessed With In 2026

Key to the look is anchoring the hair colour in a soft neutral root to make the highlights look less stark. “This isn’t beachy blonde – it’s more considered, with a subtle sun-kissed feel that works year-round,” Marley adds. “There’s movement without excessive contrast, and brightness without losing depth. It’s ideal for natural blondes or mid-level brunettes who want warmth with understated dimension.”

K-hair

The glass skin trend, popularised by Korean skincare brands, has moved from the face to your scalp. Google search around Korean hair care products is reportedly up 110% – something that’s unsurprising when you consider they’re powered by ingredients such as cica, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, collagen and ceramides – all ingredients you’re just as likely to find in your serum.

That’s because the premise for K-hair is the same – to keep the skin on your scalp soothed and hydrated while simultaneously imparting a glass-like sheen to your strands by caring for the cuticles.

Better still, you don’t need to hunt for K-hair products on a niche website. Boots has not only identified K-hair as one of the biggest beauty trends of 2026, but it has launched the category onto the high street with brands such as Kundal, one of Korea’s most famous haircare brands, and Daeng Gi Meo Ri, expanding its impressive K-beauty haul.

French girl bangs

There’s no hiding behind this next trend. Baby bangs, “a very short fringe that sits mid forehead or even higher,” is set to overtake curtain bangs as the season’s go-to face framer, says Stefania Mastrogiuseppe, owner of Blue Tit Hammersmith.
