5 HAIR TRENDS HEADING INTO SPRING

Attention all hairdressers! Whether your clients are seeking a bold transformation or just subtle tweaks to their style, we’ve got you covered. We’ve consulted with Kasho loyalists to ask them what the trendiest springtime haircuts you should keep an eye out for.

STRAIGHT AND LOOSE

“Tania Betsy, Creative Salon Director at The Hair Movement salon notes a prevailing trend toward smoother hair styles, clarifying that it’s not about the perfectly flat-ironed look, but rather a blow-dried appearance with a straightened yet relaxed vibe. This style incorporates some texture and fluidity, avoiding overly sharp lines. Describing it as a ‘palate cleanser’ from previous seasons, the aesthetic revolves around clean, minimalist hair reminiscent of the late ’90s and early 2000s, drawing inspiration from icons like Jennifer Lopez during that era.”

MIXIE CUT

The latest buzz in hair trends is the mixie cut, blending elements of the pixie and mullet styles. Google searches for this edgy look have surged by 1,000 percent in the past month alone. Kristen Stewart has recently embraced this trend, rocking it with textured layers, a tousled finish, and heaps of attitude—a perfect embodiment of how this style should be flaunted.

MIDI-BOB

In 2024, clean and uncomplicated silhouettes are set to dominate the hair scene, with one standout style being the midi-bob. This sleek and polished look exudes sophistication and maturity, making it a popular choice for those looking to transition from a shorter bob. Celebrities like Penélope Cruz and Selena Gomez have recently embraced the midi-bob with slightly more movement, adding to its allure and cementing its status as a must-have haircut.

FRINGES AND BANGS

Bangs and fringes are making a triumphant return to the forefront of hair fashion, adding a fresh and youthful vibe to any hairstyle. From blunt-cut bangs to soft, wispy fringes, there’s a style to suit every face shape and personality. Celebrities and influencers alike are embracing this trend, showcasing versatile looks that range from classic and sophisticated to edgy and bold. Whether you’re aiming for a chic curtain fringe or a retro-inspired micro bang, bangs and fringes are sure to inject an instant dose of style and personality into your look this year.

60s ARE BACK SWINGING

The iconic hairstyles of the 1960s are experiencing a resurgence in popularity, proving that classic never goes out of style. From voluminous beehives to sleek, mod-inspired cuts, the timeless elegance of 60s hair trends continues to captivate fashion enthusiasts around the world. Influenced by cultural icons such as Brigitte Bardot and Twiggy, modern interpretations of these retro looks are popping up on red carpets, runways, and social media feeds alike. Whether it’s the return of the bouffant or the revival of the flipped-out ends, there’s a nostalgic charm to 60s hairstyles that effortlessly complements contemporary fashion sensibilities. With their playful yet polished aesthetic, these vintage-inspired looks serve as a reminder that the allure of the 60s is as relevant and captivating as ever in 2024.

MILEY CYRUS GOES BIG, REAL BIG!

The Grammy Awards have consistently provided a platform for artists to showcase their talent, creativity, and unique styles. This year was no exception, and one artist who truly stole the spotlight with her bold and striking look was none other than Miley Cyrus.

As Dolly Parton once said, “Life is short, keep your dreams big and your hair bigger.” Well, at this year’s Grammy Awards, Miley Cyrus took her godmother’s words very literally. Not only did she take home an award, but thanks to her heaven-reaching mane of curls, she’s also sweeping through social media and has forever become synonymous with ‘volume.’

The visionary or culprit (depending on who you ask) behind the hairstyle that reaches for the stars is her long-time stylist and friend, Bob Recine. “Last year, I featured Miley’s wet look for hair,” Recine said in a statement. “For the Grammys, we decided we wanted something dry and bigger, more full hair, but sexy, tousled, and touchable,” and boy did he hit the mark he set out to hit.

As Miley Cyrus graced the red carpet, all eyes were on her. For the past decade, she’s been known for her fearless fashion choices, and Miley’s hair was no exception. However, it’s divided the internet. Some claim that she’s reintroduced an old-school style that will reverberate through the industry, while others have less flattering things to say, including comments involving electrical sockets. Either way, no matter which side of the creative take you are standing on, we can all agree on one thing: her fearless drive to push creative boundaries and norms helps us all in what we do, push boundries. Confidence to stand out, to try new things, to be different. Miley left everyone in awe, and my take is that we should all take a page out of her book.
