SPRING HAIR REFRESH: TRENDING STYLES TO TRY THIS SEASON
What Are the Biggest Spring Hair Trends This Year?
- Soft gloss waves: loose, light-reflecting texture with a smooth finish
- Polished low buns: clean, minimal styles with subtle detail
- Playful volume and texture: lifted roots with natural movement
- Effortless half-up styles: relaxed structure with soft face-framing pieces
Each of these looks is versatile, wearable, and easy to adapt depending on your hair type or routine.
For example, softly defined glossy waves bring together shine and movement by layering hold with lightweight creams for a finish that feels smooth but never stiff. If you prefer something more structured, a low twisted bun delivers that sleek, pulled-together look in minutes, especially when prepped with heat protection and finished with a mist of TRESemmé Extra Hold Hairspray for lasting control.
If your focus is volume, building voluminous hair starts at the root. Using a thickening spray through the lengths adds lift and texture, creating that full, airy shape that instantly refreshes your look. And for something softer, a half-up romantic braid blends waves, texture, and gentle hold into a style that feels elevated but still effortless.
Runway to Real Life: How to Wear Spring Hairstyles
The season’s runway hair looks may feel high-luxe fashion, but they’re designed to translate into everyday styling with the right approach.
How to recreate runway hair looks at home
The happy news is that 2026 runway styles are rooted in texture and movement, and they’re surprisingly achievable. Effortless waves like these will allow you to lean into the modern romance trend that embraced texture, ease and individuality at London Fashion Week A/W 2026.
Pro tips for long-lasting hold and shine
To keep your look fresh from morning to evening, focus on your prep and finish:
- Start with a heat protectant to defend against damage and boost shine
- Build hold in layers, mousse or spray at the base, finishing spray at the end
- Use texture sprays strategically for grip and movement without stiffness
This approach ensures your style holds its shape while still feeling natural and flexible.
Celebrity and Red-Carpet Hairstyles Inspiring Spring Looks
This season’s most wearable celebrity hairstyles and red-carpet hairstyles are defined by clean finishes, soft structure, and high-shine results.

While natural, tousled looks are big this year, polished styles will always have their place – and the sleek ponytail may be the simplest to pull off. Getting this right is all about preparation, heat protection, controlled blow-drying and smoothing before securing the hair. A final mist of Extra Hold Unscented hairspray helps keep flyaways in check while maintaining shine.
For something softer, Hollywood waves bring a sculpted, classic finish that still feels modern. This look combines structured curling, controlled cooling and gentle brushing to create that signature ‘S’ shape, with mousse for hold and hairspray to set the style without stiffness.
If you’re leaning into ultra-smooth finishes, glass-like straight styles rely on careful heat styling paired with protection and smoothing products to maintain shine and reduce frizz.
Red carpet hairstyles made easy
Elevated looks don’t have to be complicated. With the right technique, you can recreate red carpet styles from the comfort of your own home.
A structured updo like a twist or chignon builds from a sleek base, using mousse and gel to create control before shaping the hair. Similarly, waves can be left soft for everyday wear, allowing for movement while still maintaining that refined finish with a bit of smoothing spray.
The key is to simplify the steps, while keeping the result polished.
Easy Hairstyles for Spring Events and Everyday Wear
When it comes to easy hairstyles for spring, versatility is everything. These are the styles that work just as well for a quick morning routine as they do for a last-minute plan.
Quick spring hairstyles for busy mornings
For low-effort styling, simple shapes make the biggest impact. A messy top knot or low ponytail can look instantly styled with just a bit of smoothing and finishing spray. These looks are perfect for non-wash days or when you need something quick but still polished.
Adding a little texture at the roots or soft waves through the lengths of a ponytail can elevate even the simplest style, giving it a more intentional finish. Try working a lightweight mousse or texturizing spray into damp hair before styling or misting a dry texture spray at the roots and mid-lengths to build grip and movement.
Spring event hairstyles that feel effortless
For occasions, spring event hairstyles are all about soft structure and movement.
A twist-and-turn updo offers a sleek, secure style that holds throughout the day, using mousse, gel and hairspray to create a smooth, long-lasting finish. It’s ideal for weddings or outdoor events where you want your hair to stay in place without constant touch-ups.
For something more relaxed, halo braids bring a romantic, boho-inspired feel. By combining soft waves with braided detail and finishing with a flexible hold spray, you get a style that feels both elevated and easy to wear.
How to Refresh Your Hair Routine for Spring
Updating your routine is key to achieving fresh hairstyles for spring that feel light, healthy, and easy to manage.
Spring hair-care routine for healthy styling
Start with a clean, balanced base. Lightweight shampoos and conditioners help remove build-up without weighing hair down, setting you up for better styling results.
From there, focus on prep:
- Heat protection to defend and smooth
- Lightweight styling products for movement and control
- Volume-boosting sprays to lift and shape
When your base is right, every style becomes easier to achieve.
When to switch up your styling products
As temps soar, heavier products can start to feel like a lot. Switching to lighter formulas, like texture sprays, flexible hold hairsprays, and lightweight creams, helps maintain movement and prevents buildup.
Think of it as adjusting your styling wardrobe for the season: lighter layers, more flexibility, and finishes that feel effortless.
