Hair is more than just a part of your look—it’s a reflection of who you are. A new cut or color can leave you feeling on top of the world or a bit out of place, but one thing’s for sure: changing your hairstyle can completely transform your vibe. Whether you're trusting a stylist or trying something yourself, finding a new look is always exciting.
As we dive into 2024, there’s no better time to give your signature style a makeover. With hair trends constantly evolving—thanks to influencers, celebrities, and TikTok—there’s something for everyone. From effortless ‘70s-inspired styles to sleek pixie cuts, this year’s top hair trends promise to cater to every personality. Here are the top six looks to inspire your next hair transformation.
1. Volume, Volume, and More Volume

In 2024, it’s all about embracing big, bold volume. With the ongoing popularity of the "mob wife" aesthetic, voluminous blowouts and intentionally messy updos remain a go-to style. If 2023 was about slicked-back buns, 2024 is all about letting your hair flow free and big. Layered cuts that add movement and volume are here to stay—think curtain bangs paired with bouncy blowouts or voluminous curls that have a soft, layered foundation. If you have fine hair and struggle to create fullness, consider adding hair extensions. Whatever the style, be sure to lock it in place with hairspray to keep that volume intact all day long.
2. All Natural

If you’re ready to give your hair a break from constant treatments, 2024 is your year. People are increasingly embracing their natural hair texture and color, opting for au naturel looks that feel effortless but polished. Whether you’re letting your roots grow out or learning to love your curls, the natural look is officially back. Minimal maintenance and a great haircut are all you need to highlight your unique texture. Add a few styling products to de-frizz or enhance your curls, and you’re ready to air-dry and go.
3. The Pixie

Florence Pugh has been setting the stage for bold, rebellious pixie cuts, and they’re making a comeback this year. The pixie cut is the perfect way to make a dramatic statement, replacing the long, wavy hairstyles that dominated for the past decade. This edgy, low-maintenance look is ideal for those ready for a big change. Touch-ups every four weeks will keep your pixie fresh, and with minimal styling needed, a bit of wax is all it takes to push it up and away for a perfectly tousled, matte finish.
4. Beach Blonde

Bleached hair continues to reign supreme in 2024, but it's not just about platinum anymore. Warm blonde shades like honey and golden hues are trending as celebrities like Beyoncé and Rihanna continue to rock sun-kissed locks. While bleaching requires regular upkeep, using bond-repairing products is key to maintaining healthy, vibrant hair. If you’re ready to try a sun-drenched look, be sure to give your hair the TLC it needs to stay strong and glossy.
5. Bob Cuts

The timeless bob is still going strong in 2024. Chin-length bobs are perfect for anyone looking for a chic, easy-to-manage style that doesn’t require much fuss. Inspired by icons like Twiggy, the bob is a classic that’s seeing a modern twist. It’s quick to style—just a little heat and product will have you looking polished in no time. For those days between washes, a spritz of dry shampoo keeps it looking fresh and bouncy.
6. Bond Girl
If there’s one hair trend to make you feel glamorous, it’s the Bond Girl look. Inspired by the seductive, polished hairstyles seen in James Bond films, this trend is all about sleek sophistication. Think soft waves, silky smooth texture, and high-shine finishes. Whether your hair is long or short, you can channel this ultra-glamorous look with the right combination of shine-enhancing products and a little bit of heat styling. It’s a timeless style that exudes confidence and allure—perfect for any special occasion.
2024’s hair trends are all about expression, individuality, and playing with different textures, lengths, and styles. Whether you’re aiming for big volume, bold color, or a sleek, minimalist cut, these trends will inspire you to make this year’s hair game your best yet.
