The Biggest Hair Trends for 2027
The Return of the Side Part
Millennials, this one's for us!
After years of being told that middle parts were the only acceptable way to wear our hair, side parts are making a comeback. And I have to say, I'm not mad about it.
We're seeing everything from dramatic, swooped-over styles to softer side parts that add a little extra volume around the face.
And the best part? You can try this trend in about three seconds without cutting or coloring a single strand of hair.
Big, Bouncy Blowouts
If there's one hair trend I'm not ready to let go of, it's the bouncy blowout.
This was huge in 2026, and it's definitely sticking around for 2027. But now we're seeing even more volume, especially at the roots.
I'm talking big, gorgeous hair that moves when you walk. The kind of hair that makes you feel like you should be getting photographed somewhere.
A round brush, hot rollers, or a good blowout tool can help you get the look at home.
And don't be afraid to go a little bigger than you normally would!
The Modern French Twist
I love when a hairstyle that used to feel super formal suddenly becomes something you'd actually want to wear on a random Tuesday.
The French twist is having a moment again, but the 2027 version feels a lot cooler.
You can keep it sleek and classic or loosen things up with a little volume and a few pieces around your face.
It looks especially cute with a simple outfit and statement earrings.
And yes, you can absolutely wear this without having somewhere fancy to go.
Oh, and you’re gonna need this:
Expensive Brunette
Brunettes are still winning in 2027, and I completely understand why.
We're seeing gorgeous chocolate browns, deep espresso shades, and warm chestnut tones that make brown hair look anything but boring.
The key is dimension. You want a little variation in the color so it catches the light instead of looking flat.
If you're already brunette, this could be as simple as asking your colorist for a gloss or a few subtle highlights.
No dramatic transformation required!
The Bouncy Bob
If you've been considering cutting your hair short, this might be your sign.
Bobs have been trending for a while, but I especially love the versions with a little bounce and movement.
Instead of wearing your bob perfectly straight, try styling the ends with a round brush and adding some lift at the roots.
It feels a little retro in the best way.
And if a chin-length cut feels too intimidating, a longer bob that hits around your collarbone gives you a similar look without losing quite as much length.
Bob-Maxxing
Now if you like the bob trend, this is a must know.
Whoever said short hair was boring clearly hasn't seen the bob-maxxing trend.
Instead of wearing your bob the exact same way every day, this trend is all about seeing how many cute hairstyles you can get out of one short haircut.
Think bouncy blowouts, flipped-out ends, deep side parts, tiny half-up hairstyles, mini claw clips, and even little updos.
I especially love this trend because one of the biggest reasons people hesitate to cut their hair short is that they're worried they won't be able to do anything with it.
But bob-maxxing is proving that short hair can actually be pretty versatile.
And honestly, some of these hairstyles look even cuter on a bob than they do on long hair.
Soft, Wispy Bangs
Want to change your haircut without doing anything too drastic? Bangs might be the answer.
For 2027, I'm loving the softer, wispy styles that let a little forehead peek through.
They're less of a commitment than thick, blunt bangs and can be styled to the side when you want them out of your face.
They're also really cute with a bob or longer layered haircut.
Just make sure you talk to your stylist about how much styling they'll need, especially if your hair has a mind of its own in the morning.
Undone Knotted Updos
This might be one of my favorite hairstyle trends coming out of the 2027 runways.
Instead of slicking every strand into a perfectly tight bun, we're seeing softer updos with loose knots, loops, and a little texture.
The goal is for your hair to look cute without looking like you spent an hour trying to make it perfect.
And I love that these styles work with everything from jeans and a sweater to a wedding guest dress.
You can even recreate a similar look with a few bobby pins and a hair tie.
Creamy Golden Blonde
If you're blonde or thinking about going blonde, this is such a pretty direction for 2027.
We're moving toward warmer, creamier blonde shades that have a little more depth than super icy platinum.
The color looks especially gorgeous with a bouncy blowout or soft waves because you can really see all the different tones.
Ask your colorist for a creamy golden blonde with subtle dimension rather than one flat shade.
And if you're naturally darker, keeping a little depth at the roots can make the grow-out much easier.
Crimped Hair Details
Okay, hear me out on this one.
Crimped hair is making a comeback, but it's not necessarily the full head of tiny zigzags you remember from middle school.
The 2027 version is a lot more interesting.
We're seeing small sections of crimped hair mixed into otherwise smooth styles, along with wider bends and creases that give hair an unexpected shape.
You definitely don't need to crimp your entire head to try this.
A few textured pieces around the back or worked into an updo are enough to make the style feel different.
Long, Face-Framing Layers
Long hair is anything but boring when you have the right cut.
Face-framing layers are sticking around for 2027, especially the kind that blend naturally into the rest of your hair.
They add movement and make a basic blowout look so much better.
I especially love this cut if you want to keep your length but feel like your hair is just hanging there doing nothing.
You get a noticeable change without sacrificing all the length you've spent years growing.
Rich Copper and Auburn Hair
Red hair has been having a moment, and some of the shades trending right now are seriously gorgeous.
For 2027, keep an eye on deeper auburn, cinnamon copper, and softer reddish-brown shades.
I especially love the colors that have a little brown mixed in because they feel more natural and can be easier to wear than a super bright red.
If you've never considered going red before, this might be the year that changes your mind.
Just know that red tones can fade pretty quickly, so ask your colorist what kind of upkeep to expect.
The Voluminous Shag
If you love a haircut with a little personality, the shag deserves a spot on your inspiration board.
We're seeing softer versions with lots of movement, shorter layers around the crown, and pieces that frame the face.
It has that cool, slightly messy look that works really well if you don't want your hair to look too perfect.
I especially love this on naturally wavy hair.
And if you have curls, a stylist who knows how to cut your texture can create a really gorgeous version of this look.
Glossy, Healthy-Looking Hair
Not every hair trend requires a new haircut.
Sometimes you just want your hair to look ridiculously good.
Super shiny hair is still a big deal for 2027, whether you're wearing it straight, curled, or in a blowout.
A gloss treatment can help boost shine, and using a good heat protectant and keeping up with trims can make a difference too.
I also love that this trend works with literally every hair color.
You don't need to change your whole look to make your hair look better.
Romantic, Loose Curls
We're seeing a move toward curls that have a little more softness and movement instead of perfectly identical ringlets.
These are the kinds of curls you can brush out a little, shake around, and not worry about keeping every piece in place.
They're gorgeous with a side part, and I especially love them with longer layers.
If you're using a curling iron, try alternating directions and gently separating the curls once they've cooled.
The result feels a lot more relaxed than a head full of perfectly matched curls.
The Sculpted Pixie
Short hair is getting some attention too!
The pixie cuts I'm loving for 2027 have a little more shape and personality.
Some are cropped close with longer pieces on top, while others have soft, side-swept bangs that give you a few different styling options.
It's definitely a bigger commitment than switching your part, but a great pixie can look SO good.
The important thing is finding a cut that works with your natural texture and how much time you actually want to spend styling it.
Natural Curls With Big Volume
I love that we're seeing more hairstyles that really embrace natural texture.
Instead of trying to flatten everything down, this trend is all about letting curls take up space.
We're talking gorgeous rounded shapes, lots of volume, and cuts that make natural curls look their best.
If you have curly or coily hair, the right layers can make such a difference in how your hair falls.
And honestly, big hair is fun. Why not lean into it?
The Modern Beehive
Yes, the beehive is back. But don't worry, you don't need to look like you're heading to a 1960s costume party.
The updated version is softer, with volume concentrated around the crown and the rest of the hair styled in a more relaxed way.
I especially love a half-up version with long hair left loose.
It's a really cute option when you want to do something different for a night out or special event.
And you can get a similar effect by teasing the crown a little and securing the top section with pins.
Soft, Lived-In Hair Color
Not interested in going to the salon every six weeks? Same.
Lived-in color is sticking around for 2027, and it's easy to see why.
Instead of super obvious highlights or a harsh line where your roots grow in, the color is blended so everything looks softer.
This works for blondes, brunettes, and pretty much anyone who wants a little brightness without a ton of maintenance.
Ask your colorist about balayage, subtle highlights, or a root smudge depending on your current color.
You can still have gorgeous hair without making salon appointments your entire personality.
So, Which 2027 Hair Trend Should You Try?
If you're looking for something easy, start by switching your part or trying a new way to style your hair.
A bouncy blowout, loose updo, or a little extra volume can make your usual haircut feel completely different.
If you're ready for a salon appointment, I'm especially loving the bouncy bob, soft bangs, and long face-framing layers.
And if it's your hair color you're bored with, there are so many pretty options right now, from rich brunette shades to creamy blonde and gorgeous auburn tones.
My advice? Save a few photos of the styles you actually love and bring them to your next appointment.
Because as fun as it is to follow the latest hair trends, the best one is always going to be the one that makes you feel good when you look in the mirror.
