5 hair trends to follow this spring

With spring on its way and the good weather that comes with it, LAO has picked out 5 hair trends for you to follow this spring-summer 2021 season! Cuts, colors, or even accessories: we tell you everything, drawing on the carefully crafted looks from the runways and from our favorite influencers.

Short or long hair: there’s something for everyone!

What better way to mark the change of season than a fresh haircut! If you’re ready to go short, why not dare a beautiful, well-structured short bob! Why do we love the bob? For its lightness and simplicity, and above all because it flatters every hair type!

Short bob - spring 2021 trends

If you’re not ready to say goodbye to your length, you can always go for a beautiful, boho-style long mane. To show off your long hair, why not try some very on-trend hairstyles: a long, high ponytail, a bubble ponytail (we already covered it in last winter’s trends!) or even braids! Of course, you can also wear your long hair down for a more tousled, laid-back style! You can still trim your hair slightly to keep it healthy. Also remember to take extra care of your lengths!

Bangs for everyone!

Short, long, curtain, straight, side-swept: there’s a style of bangs for every taste and every face shape! This spring, bangs are more on-trend than ever. These bold cuts can completely reinvent you: glamorous style or rebellious side, bangs are a real way to change up your look every day!

Heads up: before taking the plunge with bangs, keep in mind that they require a lot of upkeep. To maintain and refresh your bangs, we recommend booking an appointment with your hairdresser rather than trimming them yourself at home. After all, badly cut bangs also take a long time to grow back!

Straight, thick bangs: Clara Luciani

Go for long, thick, straight bangs like Clara Luciani (top) or simpler, more natural and lighter bangs like Jeanne Damas (bottom), for a look that’s both chic and relaxed!

The scarf for summer

We already told you about it on our Instagram account: the scarf is one of the hottest trends of this spring-summer season! Whether worn in a bun, in a ponytail, in a braid or even with your hair down, a scarf dresses up your short or long hair! At LAO, we like it even more for how practical it is! Thanks to the many tutorials available on social media, it’s especially easy to create an original, polished hairstyle in just a few minutes with a scarf!

Plus, you can count on this accessory to go with every outfit, since it comes in a thousand and one colors! This spring, dare to show off your hair with the colors of your scarves!

Yes to natural colors!

In recent years, we’ve seen every color under the sun when it comes to hair! To be on trend this spring and summer, go for a natural, rather warm color with no extravagance! Take advantage of this trend to give a boost of radiance back to your naturally blonde, brunette or red hair!

For blondes, the timeless golden blonde with honey-colored highlights is still in vogue! For brunettes and darker shades, the trend is moving toward chocolate and mocha browns with ever more natural results. And for the redheads reading us, leave your color just as it is: naturally bold, with warm tones! If you don’t want to alter your color, opt for natural highlights to add a little shine to your hair!

So this spring and summer, dare to show off your natural color; it’s probably the one that flatters you most!

Trend: vibrant red hair

Slicked-back hair or the “wet look”

Finally, even though hair with movement is especially in style this spring and summer, there’s one exception: the wet look and slicked-back hair. This isn’t the first time we’ve seen these trends. From short hair to long, the wet look means slicking your hair back from roots to ends while creating a wet effect. We’d suggest saving the wet look for evenings, given how sophisticated it is.

In the same vein, the slicked-back hair trend is still going strong! It’s close to the wet look but gives a less polished, more natural finish. Slicked-back hair can be swept to one side, left loose, or even tied in a low ponytail or a tight bun.

Why not go for slicked-back hair during the day and a wet look in the evening!
