Hair in 2026: What We’re Actually Seeing (and Loving) at Flaunt

We don’t really chase trends at Flaunt. But we do pay attention to what clients are asking for, what’s working long-term, and what people feel good walking out with weeks and months later.

As we move into 2026, there’s a clear shift happening. Hair feels calmer. More intentional. Less about doing the most, and more about doing what lasts.

Here’s what that looks like behind the chair.

Hair That Looks Done, Without Feeling “Done”

One of the biggest things we’re noticing is that people want their hair to look polished without feeling overstyled. Not stiff. Not overly blown out. Just… finished.

That means:

• Clean shapes

• Soft movement

• Hair that falls into place naturally

Think less “perfect waves” and more “this just works.” Styles that look just as good air-dried as they do styled, and cuts that don’t need constant fixing. This is the kind of hair you can live in, and that’s exactly where things are heading.

Color That Grows Out Well (On Purpose)

In 2026, color isn’t about dramatic contrast or constant maintenance. It’s about richness, softness, and tones that age well between appointments.

We’re seeing a lot of love for:

• Warm blondes and dimensional brunettes

• Rich coppers and deeper tones that feel glossy

• Color placed intentionally so roots don’t feel stressful

Clients are choosing color that looks good now and later, which honestly makes everyone happier. Less pressure, better longevity, and hair that still feels fresh months down the road.

Cuts With Shape, Not Stress

Cuts are getting more thoughtful, not trendier.

We’re seeing:

• Bobs that feel wearable, not severe

• Pixies that are soft and confident

• Layers that add movement without taking away fullness

• Bangs that grow out gracefully (yes, really)

The goal isn’t a dramatic chop unless you want one. It’s shape that supports your hair texture, your routine, and your lifestyle. The kind of cut that still looks good when you don’t have time to style it.

Texture Is In (and It’s Staying)

Natural texture isn’t something to fight anymore, it’s something to work with.

Curls, waves, movement, even perms are showing up more and more because people want hair that feels like them. We’re spending more time designing cuts and color around texture instead of trying to smooth it out or control it.

The result? Hair that feels easier. And honestly, more fun.

So What Does This Mean for You?

If you’re thinking about your hair going into 2026, here’s the big takeaway:

You don’t need to reinvent yourself. You just need hair that works better for you.

That might look like:

• A softer color refresh

• A cleaner shape

• More volume or length through extensions

• Or simply hair that feels healthy again

The trends are pointing toward intention, and that’s been our approach all along.

Ready When You Are

If any of this sounds like what you’ve been wanting, we’d love to talk it through with you. Trends are fun, but great hair is personal, and that’s always been the point at Flaunt.
