2024 Haircuts to die for!! September 10, 2024 15:02
With winter coats stashed away and the sun shining brighter, it’s clear that spring has officially sprung! And what better way to embrace the new season than with a fresh haircut? If you’ve already rearranged your wardrobe, reorganized your space, and refreshed your skincare, then it might just be time to give your hair a spring makeover. From the effortlessly chic to the daringly bold, Morgan & Morgan The Hair Collective’s team of top stylists have the scoop on the hottest cuts of the season. So, if you're ready for something fun and fresh, let's dive in!
The “Wet-look” Bob
Think sleek, wet-look vibes but with a modern twist! Training Manager Erin Walters recommends the “Wet-look” Bob for those wanting to dip into spring’s trendiest style. “It’s perfect tucked behind one or both ears, and it works wonders with a side part,” Erin says. For that ultimate semi-wet look, trade in heavy gels for hydrating creams like Alterna CC Cream. And don’t forget to give your hair some extra love with the Alterna Moisture Mask or QiQi Mask to keep it smooth and shiny.
The Inverted Bob
Fancy a bob that’s a little extra? The inverted bob is a favourite among trendsetters like Hailey Bieber, featuring a chic angle that’s shorter at the back and longer at the front. Erin suggests styling it sleek and straight, or you can add a touch of hair oil for a lived-in, effortless vibe.
Invisible Layers
If you love low-maintenance styles, “barely there” layers are your new best friend. According to Jennifer Morgan, these subtle layers add movement without the upkeep. To keep things sleek and shiny, she recommends blow-drying with a paddle brush and finishing with a leave-in cream like Alterna Blow Out Butter. Simple yet stunning!
The Ultra-Choppy Mullet
For the daring trendsetters, the ultra-choppy mullet, inspired by Kristen Stewart, is making waves this season. Jennifer notes that this style is especially fab on curly hair, giving a playful edge to your look. Want to tone it down? Opt for a softer version while still keeping it cool.
The Side-Swept Bob
Super versatile and effortlessly stylish, the side-swept bob is perfect for those who love flexibility. “Just flip your hair to one side, and you’re good to go!” says Steve Morgan. Whether you’re after a casual look or something polished, adding a bit of volume with texturising spray will have you ready for anything.
The Bouncy Bob
Big on bounce and full of life, the “bubble” bob is having a major moment. Stylist Emma Bleackley raves about this face-framing style, which suits just about everyone. Want even more volume? Try blow-drying with a round brush and spritzing on Color Wow Dream Cocktail for that extra oomph.
Big Hair, Don’t Care
Texture and volume are back in a big way! “This season, it’s all about embracing the frizz and showing off your natural curls,” says Casey Ladd. Think bold, carefree, and full of personality — it’s time to let your hair do the talking.
The ’90s Flick
For those with long locks, the ’90s flick is the perfect way to add a retro twist without committing to a big chop. Tanya Courtney loves how this style grows out seamlessly, transitioning from a bob to a lob with ease. Use a round brush or straighteners to flick out the ends for that signature ‘90s flair.
The “Uncut” Bob
Wavy or curly-haired beauties, this one’s for you! Alecia Kent recommends the “uncut” bob for a more relaxed, textured look that works with your hair’s natural movement. A bit of volumising product and a good scrunch is all you need to let your waves shine.
Feathered Layers
Feathered layers are still going strong, but this season they’re being styled inwards for a softer, more polished feel. “It’s all about adding a little bit of romance to your cut,” says Koji Hirota. Whether you want the layers at your cheekbone, chin, or collarbone, there’s a length to suit everyone.
The Classic Lob
Timeless and chic, the classic lob is still the go-to for those who prefer a sleek, no-fuss style. Alex Kenny recommends this for finer hair types, offering a polished look that’s effortlessly stylish and easy to maintain.
The Soft Crop
For anyone looking to embrace a shorter style, the soft crop is a gentle take on the pixie cut. Emma Bleackley describes it as a slightly grown-out pixie with feathery layers — perfect for that “just rolled out of bed” vibe (in the best way possible).
The Textured Pixie
Ali Ngaia loves the textured pixie for its versatility and movement. “This cut adds a ton of personality and volume,” Ali says, making it perfect for anyone looking for a bold but flattering style.
The Nirvana Cut
Last but not least, the “Nirvana” cut is a nod to ’90s grunge with a modern twist. Stylist Georgia Head points to Gigi Hadid’s wispy bob as the ultimate example of how to rock this laid-back yet chic style.
No matter your vibe this season — bold, soft, or somewhere in between — the key is to have fun with your hair and try something new. Spring is all about fresh starts, and your hair is no exception!
