The arrival of spring signals a time of transformation and renewal, and what better way to embrace the beautiful change than through a fresh hairdo? Whether you're looking to experiment with a new style or simply seeking ways to refresh your current look, this post unveils the top nine hair trends that will be all the rage in 2024 – and the best part? They're amazingly simple to achieve!
The Natural Movement
Clean beauty isn't just about skincare. It's permeating the hair care world, too. The natural movement trend celebrates the beauty and versatility of your hair's natural texture. For waves and curls, a texturizing cream or mousse will enhance bounce and definition without stickiness. If you have straight hair, a volumizing spray will give you that effortless bedhead texture. The key is to use products that don't weigh the hair down or leave a visible residue, and a gentle Aveda shampoo and conditioner can ensure your locks remain free from buildup.
Get Wispy with It
This season is all about lightness, and wispy bangs and face-framing layers are the epitome of that ethereal trend. Perfect for softening your look and giving the illusion of a more oval face shape, this style is versatile and low-maintenance. A quick rough dry with a quality hairdryer will set these wispy layers perfectly, and if you're feeling a little extra, a texturizing spray will add just the right amount of movement.

The French Twist
Ooh la la! Classic and timeless, the French twist is the ultimate in elegance. But don't be fooled, this style is far from dated. For a modern twist, consider a looser, more tousled version – think less 'starched ballerina' and more 'effortlessly chic Parisian'. Aveda's Brilliant Retexturizing Gel is perfect for keeping things smooth and in place without the crunch.
Braids for Days
Braids are the MVPs of the hair world – they're stylish, functional, and offer endless possibilities. From milkmaid braids that scream boho-chic to sleek, side-swept styles for a more polished look, there's a braid for every occasion. For a more intricate braid, Aveda Texture Tonic texturizing spray can help add grip, making it easier to manipulate your strands without slippage.
High Pony Club
A high ponytail exudes sophistication and fun. It's a trend that's been riding high for quite some time, and it's not coming down any time soon. To give your high pony extra lift, backcomb the crown area slightly before securing. Smooth any flyaways with a serum or cream – this season, we're moving away from a totally slick finish to a soft, touchable look.

The Power Part
A well-placed part can transform your entire face. In 2024, the power part is that and more – it's the unsung hero that can balance features, frame the face, and add interest to any style. Whether you opt for a deep side part for an edgy feel or a middle part for symmetry, make sure it's crisp and clean. A tail comb, some hairspray, and a touch of confidence are all you need to master the power part.

Accessory Overload
From bedazzled pins to silk scarves, hair accessories are bigger than ever. Literally. This season, it's go big or go home, with oversized, statement pieces taking pride of place. Think bold, gold barrettes or a colorful scarf woven through your braid. The key is to keep it intentional – accessories should complement, not overwhelm, your chosen style.

Play with Color
Spring is the perfect time to add a pop of color to your mane. Sun-kissed highlights, pastel ombres, or a bold statement shade – the options are endless. Meet with a color specialist at Gordon Salon to find a hue that complements your skin tone and lifestyle. And remember, Aveda's natural color formulations mean you can experiment with confidence, knowing your hair is being nourished at the same time. After you get something you love, you can protect the color with Aveda Color Control Rich Shampoo and Conditioner.
Say Yes to the Texturizer
Texture sprays and gels are your best friends this spring. Whether you're aiming for a sleek look, defined curls, or a tousled beach wave, the right texturizer can take your style to the next level. The trick to using these products is moderation – start with a little, then build up as needed. And as always, choose options that enhance your hair's natural movement without weighing it down.
With these nine spring hair trends, you're sure to find a style that resonates with your personality and lifestyle. Whether you opt for a whimsical braid or a new hair color, don't be afraid to switch things up and have fun with your look. Spring is all about new beginnings, and your hair is a great place to start!
