8 trendy spring 2026 hairstyles and the products to reproduce them in 5 minutes

The spring-summer 2026 fashion shows dictated their hairstyle codes. At Michael Kors, Fendi or Ralph Lauren, three watchwords dominate: movement, texture and naturalness. Yet these catwalk looks are accessible to everyone, provided they master a few simple gestures.

Natural waves and assertive fringe: the stars of the season

On the catwalks of Michael Kors and Ulla Johnson, hair appears supple and slightly wavy. The principle is based on a clear idea: no longer transform your hair, but sublimate it. Blake Lively and Margot Robbie embody this aesthetic of free, flowing hair.

To achieve this result at home, Les Secrets de Loly’s Cloud Fusion mousse, available at Sephora for €24, is an invaluable ally. It provides volume and suppleness without a cardboard effect. Its formula contains 99.5% ingredients of natural origin. Simply distribute the product over damp lengths, scrunch to activate curls, then leave to air-dry.

Fringe, meanwhile, reigns supreme on the 2026 red carpets. Dakota Johnson sports curtain fringe, Sabrina Carpenter prefers a structured version, while Kerry Washington opts for micro-fringe. Each face has its own version of this essential trend.

“No longer transforming your hair, but sublimating it. No more, no less.”

The graphic bob and the tousled chignon: two complementary styles

The 2026 bob, seen at Ralph Lauren and the Coach show, is cut at chin level. It sculpts the face and highlights the cheekbones. Alexa Chung and Angèle adopted it with a textured, slightly unstructured finish. For this look, Color Wow’s Style on Steroids texturizing spray, available at €26.25 from Sephora, adds volume and hold without white residue.

The tousled chignon now replaces sleek, gel-plated versions. Seen at the Grammy Awards on Miley Cyrus, this style lets hair breathe with loose strands. Coelho Beauty’s Brume Mémoire, available at Oh My Cream for €45, sets hair with a blend of sugars and inulin. It also contains hyaluronic acid and sweet almond proteins.

• Tousled bun, catwalk style
• Side parting for instant volume

The Christy Cut and the retro blow-dry: a return to the ’90s

Inspired by iconic 90s model Christy Turlington, the Christy Cut makes a comeback this spring. This mid-length, short, blurred cut, worked in layers, reveals the nape of the neck and highlights natural curls. The universal 3-in-1 diffuser from BaByliss PRO, sold for €4.95 on Look Fantastic, adapts to most hair dryers for perfect results.

The inflated ’80s-style blow-dry also returns in a modernized version. The program: controlled volume, mirrored shine and natural movement. To protect the fiber, Yves Rocher’s Sérum Thermoprotecteur Restructurant, at €9.99, offers protection up to 230°C thanks to its plant-based keratin.

In practice, serum should be applied to damp hair before drying. Then, using a round brush, lift the roots to create volume. In just a few minutes, this simple technique will give you a catwalk-worthy hairstyle.

Braided ponytail: the elegance of Marine Serre runway shows

Houses like Marine Serre and Enfants Riches Déprimés have led the way this season. The braided ponytail, low or high, with or without a pronounced parting, is one of the trendiest hairstyles. For added glamour, jewels suspended in the locks complete the look.

Ouai anti-frizz cream, available at €30 from Niche Beauty, controls frizz over time. Formulated with recycled jackfruit, beet extracts and plant polymers, it protects against heat up to 232°C. Simply apply a dab to lengths, smooth into palm, then gather into a ponytail before braiding.

The side parting: the great comeback of a classic

We’d almost forgotten about it. But the side parting is making a comeback this spring 2026. It can be worn in a pronounced way, on one side or the other. Bella Hadid and Léa Seydoux have adopted it, instantly adding volume and a sculpted dimension to their hair.

Gisou’s Honey Infused Hair Oil, priced at €40, provides mirror-like shine thanks to Mirsalehi honey. This product controls frizz for 72 hours and protects against heat up to 230°C. It’s easy to use: apply a few drops to the palm of the hand, sweep over the lengths, then line the parting with a fine-toothed comb.

Other Gisou products are available to complete your hair care routine. The Leave-In Conditioner costs €34, the Honey Gloss Ceramide Therapy Hair Mask €44, and the Honey Gloss Ceramide Therapy Hydrating Shampoo €27. So every hairstyle can shine in fine weather.

Spring-summer 2026 trends offer rare hair freedom. From graphic bobs to braided ponytails, there’s a product to suit every style. With the right gestures, reproducing these catwalk looks takes just 5 minutes in the bathroom.
