If 2023 was the year "quiet luxury" entered the lexicon, 2024 will see that trend and raise the stakes. For hair in particular, trends like headbands and buns will be a focus. But they won't be the versions you'd expect to see on a Gossip Girl binge; texture, layers, and individuality are all welcome. To get ahead of the best hair trends of 2024 keep scrolling for our predictions, culled from the runways, celebrity sightings, and more.

Headbands

Headbands were spotted on the spring/summer 2024 runways (Helmut Lang, Molly Goddard, to name a couple), and recently on celebs including Jennifer Lawrence. If you're not ready to go full Blair Waldorf, keep the style sleek and simple like J.Law's.

Jennifer Behr Cruz Headband

Lawrence is a fan of Jennifer Behr's timeless headbands, like this minimalist leather style.

Rich Copper Color

If recent hair changes on celebs like Hari Nef and Meredith Duxbury are any indication, this shiny new shade of red will be the It color for 2024. Shvonne Perkins, master colorist at Madison Reed, agrees, calling "copper penny" one of her top color predictions for the year.

John Frieda Radiant Red Boosting Shampoo

To keep color looking vibrant between appointments, swap in a red-enhancing shampoo like this one from John Frieda once a week.

Choppy Bob

The bob isn't going anywhere, but it is getting a bit more laid-back and unstyled. See: the recent cuts debuted by Laura Harrier, Emma Chamberlain, and Lady Gaga.

Roz Santa Lucia Styling Oil

ORIBE Bright Blonde Shampoo for Beautiful Color

Use a blonde-boosting purple shampoo, like Oribe's luxe formula, to keep color looking fresh, not brassy.

Nouveau Bows

Expect the ballet- and coquette-inspired bow trend to stick around, though it may look a bit different. For instance, we'll see corset-like ribbons (as seen backstage at Christian Siriano spring 2024), and supersized bows, like the one in Sarah Jessica Parker's hairstyle here.

Sandy Liang can be counted on for all things girly, including the perfect XL hair ribbon. Of course, a long ribbon from the craft store will accomplish a similar effect.

Big Buns

Seen at the 3.1 Phillip Lim and Alice + Olivia, the bun updo is a forever classic, and it's getting new life. This style Justine Marjan created for Olivia Culpo goes above and beyond by combining three major trends—bows, buns, and braids—in one.

Side Bangs

The rumors are true: Y2K-era side bangs are back, and Keke Palmer, Dua Lipa, and even Taylor Swift are giving the look their seal of approval. To keep the look firmly in 2024, avoid the flatironed-in-the-front, fried-in-the-back look of the past and go for a more cohesive style.

Dyson Airstrait™ Straightener
