Spring/Summer 2024 Hair Trends Highlight French Bangs, Modern Shag and Curve Cut
Fashion experts outline the key haircuts set to dominate the spring and summer season. The "flowing midi" length, cut to the clavicles with soft layers, offers movement and works on fine to wavy hair. The French carré, a softer take on the classic bob ending between chin and shoulders, suits delicate facial features and natural waves, with actress Léa Seydoux as a style icon. A contemporary shag, termed "shaggy," revives the 1970s layered look with a rock‑and‑roll edge and is favored by celebrities such as Suki Waterhouse and Billie Eilish. French bangs make a comeback, providing a gentle, tousled fringe that suits oval or longer faces; they are popular with Dakota Johnson and influencer Jeanne Damas. The "curve cut" creates a gentle arc around the face, giving a polished yet natural look for longer hair, embraced by Jennifer Lopez and Swedish designer Matilda Djerf. These trends emphasize ease of styling, suit a wide range of hair types, and draw on celebrity influence.
