Hair trends for autumn 2026 focus on 70s waves and the Jackie-Bob

Hairdressing trends for autumn 2026 are shifting toward softer, more voluminous styles, moving away from the traditional bob in favor of retro-inspired looks.

One prominent trend is the return of ‘70s waves,’ characterized by effortless, beachy, and natural-looking waves. This style emphasizes soft layers and volume, inspired by the gentle aesthetics of the 1970s rather than the highly structured styles of previous eras. Achieving this look involves using mousse, light creams, or diffusers to enhance natural texture.

Another major trend is the ‘Jackie-Bob,’ a modern interpretation of Jackie Kennedy’s iconic hairstyle. This cut typically ends between the chin and collarbone and utilizes soft layers to create a rounded silhouette. Unlike a blunt bob, the Jackie-Bob focuses on volume at the crown and inward-turned ends, making it particularly effective for adding visual fullness to fine hair.
