6 Hair Trends That Everyone Is Trying Out This Season
Bubble Ponytails
Bubble ponytails are equal parts fashionable and playful, and they’re such a cute way to add a little bit of oomph to your look in the warmer months, no matter where you are headed. The best thing about this style is that it’s super easy to do yourself at home. Pro tip: you can use different-colour elastics for a pop of colour in the ponytail.
Half-Up, Half-Down Pigtails
Addison Rae, Megan Fox, and more A-listers are bringing back Baby Spice’s signature hairstyle aka half-up, half-down pigtail. The trick to nailing this style is to keep your pigtail shiny, smooth, and tamed. The hairstyle screams hot girl summer and is guaranteed to get you tons of compliments.
Supermodel Blowouts
The vibe right now? The bouncier and fluffier the hair, the better. For Spring 2023, you’ll continue to see the ‘90s supermodel blowout dominate on social media. The hairdo is a classic hairstyle that can be fun, bouncy as well as messy but still looks very put together.
Zigzag Parts
Many of us wore zigzag parts in the early aughts, but the style is back with a modern upgrade. We love this iteration because it creates a unique and edgy look and can be teamed up with any simple hairstyle. The key to nailing this look is creating a clean, sleek part. Then, you can pair it with a messy bun, a simple ponytail, or a top knot.
Flipped Ends
Well, the ‘90s isn’t the only decade lending its inspiration to the spring hair trends. We’ve also seen tons of takes on the ‘60s-inspired hair flip. Even though it has been around for quite a few months, it’s gonna make an even bigger comeback in 2023. We think it’s a fun way to spice up a super sleek look this spring and beyond.
Micro-Braids!
These loosely tied micro braids make a statement of their own and it still looks good. The best part though? It even works on bed hair. All you need to do is: Spritz a salt spray into damp or dry hair to get those straight-from-the-beach waves and create loose tousled curls before adding in the braid. Take one-inch sections of hair to create a braid and use the almost invisible elastics to hold it to perfection.
So, are you ready for a wave of compliments coming your way?
