Hair care, coloring, and styling trends

Overview

Hair care guidance continues to focus on maintaining the health of long, fine, or thinning hair through specialized products and gentle techniques. Key maintenance strategies include applying shampoo to the scalp and conditioner to mid-lengths and ends, using lukewarm water, and avoiding excessive scrubbing to preserve a smooth, light-reflecting surface. To manage volume and frizz, experts recommend lightweight formulas such as O Boticário’s Match. Escudo de Hidratação for UV and heat protection or Color Wow’s Dream Coat Supernatural Spray.

Coloring trends have evolved toward strategic highlights and luminosity, including ‘Vanilla Cream’, ‘Golden Brunette’, and ‘Bronde Sun-Kissed’. For individuals over 40, rejuvenating palettes like honey blonde and caramel remain popular. Recent developments show a surge in interest for ‘mocha balayage’, which blends warm coffee tones with lighter highlights, and ‘greige’ highlights—a blend of beige and grey—to help transition dyed hair to natural grey. For those embracing grey, textured pixies and voluminous side-parted bobs are recommended. For individuals over 60, a high, tight bun is being used as a temporary ‘facelift’ hairstyle to create an optical effect of a firmer face.

Styling for 2026 emphasizes natural textures and retro influences, such as the ‘Vintage Bob’ and voluminous pixie cuts reminiscent of Princess Diana. Key cuts include the ‘Contour Cut’, butterfly cut, and the collarbone lob. Accessories are also trending, ranging from minimalist gold clips to eccentric items like pearl nets. Regarding texture, curly hair specialist Conchi Arias predicts that by 2027, trends will focus on silhouettes—short, midi, and long—designed to celebrate natural movement and density rather than adapting straight-hair cuts.
