We're Ignoring Everything but These 7 Spring Hairstyle Trends From Here on Out

There's enough stress in the world right now over Tom Hanks [1] and toilet paper and the fact that we all need an iPhone app to remember to drink enough water in a day, so when it comes to hairstyles to wear this season [2], there should be zero fuss. Fortunately, the looks you can expect in the coming months are exactly as they should be: simple.

"There will be two overarching tiers of hair trends for Spring [3]: the conservative styles and the progressive styles," said Devin Toth [4], NYC-based hairstylist at Salon SCK. "There will be trends that give space for people who want a safe, subtle, less-is-more, natural hairstyling approach — ones that don't require in-your-face drama. Then, there will be the trends for people who are feeling more free and adventurous after this 'corona Winter' and election season. These bold hairstyles are cool [5] for people who are fearless of judgement and just don't care anymore."

Call it our favourite new DGAF — or at least, give fewer f*cks — approach to beauty that everyone deserves right now. As Michelle Cleveland [6], celebrity hairstylist and owner of Hair Addict Salon, put it: "Unlike the polished, glass-like looks we've been seeing so far this year, this season is about carefree hair — less styling products [7] and more texture."

Ahead, Toth and Cleveland are breaking down seven hairstyle trends [8] worth the temporary reprieve, so you can finally start getting excited about Spring again.

Spring 2020 Hairstyle Trend: "Lived-In" Texture

Both Cleveland and Toth agree: the overall vibe for the upcoming months will be less by-the-book — and that includes lots of texture and movement. "Spring of 2020 will prove to be the season of the 'lived-in' look — haircuts and styles that are no longer polished," Cleveland said. "This season, you're going to see a throwback to the '90s when grunge was king and the hair was textured and free."

Spring 2020 Hairstyle Trend: Loose Tendrils

On the topic of loose, undone texture, face-framing wisps on any updo hairstyle will become a new go-to: "We'll see lots of tendrils from the bang section with the rest of the hair in a bun," Toth said. "Hair falling on your face is always super cool and fits with the overall vibe of the season."

Spring 2020 Hairstyle Trend: Bright Hair Colour

Whether it's "drenched" hair colour [9] just at the roots or ends or woven throughout, Toth predicts "painted wefts of colour" will be huge for Spring. "Blues, pinks, and even greens will be a trend for people who just want to have fun," he said.

Spring 2020 Hairstyle Trend: The Shag

Like we predicted earlier this year, one of the biggest trends of the season will be the shag haircut [10] — "except now with a modern twist," Cleveland said. "It will be a hybrid between old and new, where unlike the more disheveled looks of the past, you will see it dressed up presented in a softer, more wearable manner."

Still, that doesn't necessarily mean you need to get a full-blown cut to try the trend, per se. Toth explained: "Heavy curtain bangs can make any hairstyle look like a shag. They will be wider and shorter than last season's bangs."

Spring 2020 Hairstyle Trend: Deep Part, Bouncy Curls

Embracing your natural texture is never a trend — in fact, it's beautiful no matter the season — but there's a particular way to style your curls that gives it a nice Spring refresh. "Curly hair [11] is definitely replacing the waves from last year," Toth said. The cutest hairstyle to try combines a perennial favourite: "the deep side part with an ear tuck, paired with full bouncy curls."

Spring 2020 Hairstyle Trend: The Hair Flip

"The hair flip — where it's a bob haircut [12] or long hair in a pony — gives a cooler-than-school, '60s retro vibe," Toth said. And who wouldn't want that?

Spring 2020 Hairstyle Trend: Accessories — With a Twist

Hair accessories have been huge [13] in the last few seasons, but Toth predicts a resurgence of pearls and statement barrettes (which, we agree, will make the perfect accent to a springtime outfit).
