Connects you with your favorite muse
As we find ourselves in a new month, it’s the perfect time to refresh your signature look. Over the past year, TikTok users have sparked a multitude of hair trends, ranging from trendy buns inspired by Sophie Richie to ’70s-style fringe curtain bangs. Looking ahead to 2024, there are numerous hair trends to keep an eye out for, and we have compiled a guide featuring six of the best ones to help you create your new signature style.
To identify the top six hair trends of 2024, we have closely followed product releases, observed the runways and red carpets, and consulted with seven knowledgeable hair stylists and experts who are well-versed in the world of salon chairs. Whether you are a fan of bold and maximalist styles or prefer a more minimalist approach, there is sure to be a trend that resonates with you. Who knows? Perhaps you may even consider adding volume to your hair with extensions or experimenting with bleaching. As always, the possibilities are endless.
“With the mob wife aesthetic continuing to be popular, I think voluminous styles will stay a huge trend for 2024. I see big bouncy blowouts and intentionally messy updos continuing to be popular this year,” says Laura Polko, a celebrity hairstylist based in Los Angeles. If 2023 was about tight, slicked-back buns, 2024 is the year of letting it all loose. Justine Marjan, a celebrity hairstylist based in Los Angeles, also predicts “layered cuts with lots of volume. We see many more bouncy blowouts and naturally looking voluminous curls that need a soft layered cut to support the added texture and root lift.” If you have fine hair that resists teasing, Marjan recommends extensions like the ones from Great Lengths to add some fullness. Just make sure to lock in any voluminous style with plenty of hairspray to keep it all in place.

If you’re tired of regular salon visits and your hair is begging for a break, this is set to be your year. According to Cody Renegar, a celebrity hairstylist who splits his time between Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., and Arkansas, the coming months will be all about falling in love with the hair color and texture your mama gave you. “Au naturale, classic looks, but with a personal edge, will be trending in 2024. I see people returning to their roots—pun intended. People are really leaning into the low-maintenance thing right now,” he says. So whether you’re letting your roots grow in or learning to work with your curly hair, you can trust that you’re right on trend. “I’m seeing more and more wanting to embrace their natural texture. If you have a great haircut, all you need is a little product to assist—whether to de-frizz or encourage curls—and you should be able to have a beautiful air-dry,” Kelly Macedo, a stylist and the owner of Interior Hair in Los Angeles, explains.

Harry Josh, a celebrity hairstylist and the creator of Harry Josh Pro Tools, says, “I see a big, rebellious cut, like the one Florence Pugh is known for, becoming popular in the coming months. We are seeing a lot of short, dramatic haircuts replacing the long, wavy look that we have ruled the media for the last 10 years.” Chopping your hair is an easy—albeit dramatic—way to switch up your vibe in a flash, and it might be time for those wanting to make a bold change to finally take that step. Amy Abramite, a stylist and the creative director at Maxine Salon in Chicago, recommends salon visits for touch-ups every four weeks when sporting this style. “Daily styling is low maintenance—no hot tools required. Push up and off the face with wax for a mussed-up matte finish and hold,” she adds.
Not everyone is into low-maintenance looks. Bleaching your hair is still very much en vogue, as evidenced by celebrities like Beyoncé and Rihanna. And it’s not just platinum blonde hair that’s getting all the love. “Warm colors are also becoming popular. Think honey and golden blondes,” says Renegar. If you try this yourself, be sure to use bond-supporting products that help to reduce and repair damage if or when it happens.
Chin-length bobs have always been stylish (Twiggy’s hair in the 1972 film The Boy Friend immediately comes to mind), and everybody’s catching on. “Maybe it’s because it’s the first of the year, but many clients are coming in wanting a chop to the chin right now. It’s timelessly chic and always in style,” says Macedo. It’s pretty easy to style at home, too; use a touch of heat and a little product, and you’re out the door. Plus, a quick spritz of dry shampoo in the morning keeps it bouncy and fresh in the days following wash day.
L’Oréal Professionnel and Kerasilk are entering the molecular bond repair game and for good reason, it just works. “Users can see and feel the noticeable improvements in hair strength, texture, and appearance. Thanks to innovation and social media, there’s an increased awareness about hair health and the effects of coloring, thermal styling, and environmental stressors. When paired with the in-salon treatment and at-home care, the results are impressive, as damage and breakage are addressed with this scientific approach,” explains Min Kim, the global ambassador of L’Oréal Professionnel. These formulas don’t just work on the surface of your strands; instead, the amino acids within them repair the inner structure of each hair, effectively reversing damage and leaving you with silkier, healthier hair.

BEST SUBTLE LE LABO PERFUME
$99 at Nordstrom$302 at Walmart$99 at Saks Fifth Avenue
If you love sipping your morning matcha latte, why not opt to have it in spray form, too? This calming perfume contains sweet fig, contrasted with smooth bergamot and deep vetiver.
Notes: Fig, bergamot, bitter orange, sesame, cedarwood, vetiver, matcha tea
Nordstrom rating: 4.7/5 stars
A Nordstrom reviewer says: “It’s a creamy, tiny bit citrusy, very light scent to be noticed by someone intimately. My husband loves this scent, said it was pleasant and calm so I am buying a full bottle. Don’t expect it to be something for people around you to notice. It’s perfect for a relaxing day, cuddle and hug your loved one. Also suitable for work because it lingers long yet only for you to enjoy it.”
BEST CITRUS LE LABO PERFUME
$99 at Nordstrom$230 at Saks Fifth Avenue
If you know that bergamot is one of your go-to scent notes, it makes sense to opt for this fragrance. It’s rich and citrusy, with hints of musk and cedar to keep it grounded.
Notes: Orange blossom, grapefruit, petitgrain, amber, bergamot, vetiver, cedar, musk
Nordstrom rating: 4.6/5 stars
A Nordstrom reviewer says: “I ordered this without first smelling it–a risk. This is now one of my all time favorite fragrances. It is seductive while at the same time very clean smelling. I have not loved a scent this much in YEARS. Quality product. I also have the body lotion to layer the scent.”
BEST SENSUAL LE LABO PERFUME
$230 at Nordstrom$230 at Saks Fifth Avenue
For a light, sensual fragrance, opt for Tonka 25. It’s a spicier perfume that still manages to feel fresh and light. If it’s date night, a spritz of this will seal the deal.
Notes: Orange, flower absolue, cedar atlas, styrax resin, tonka, musk
Nordstrom rating: 4.5/5 stars
A Nordstrom reviewer says: “This is a great cologne. If you want a unique, yet subtly bold fragrance this is it. It seems like the fragrances are layered. At times it’s bold, then it mellows out. You don’t need much 2 or 3 sprays to last all day. The scent has a reprise that will hit you at 7 PM even though it may have been applied much earlier in the day. Worth every penny!”

BEST SMOKY LE LABO PERFUME
$99 at Nordstrom$99 at Saks Fifth Avenue
“Thé Noir 29 is fresh, but with notes of musk and tea to give it depth,” says West. With contrasting notes like bergamot and tobacco, it manages to keep the balance between masculine and feminine.
An ELLE Editor says: “If you loved Santal 33 but found it to be too popular, consider this to be the runner-up. This is the Le Labo scent I consider to be the second-most recognizable. The fragrance is tea-inspired, but without a sense of primness, like taking a deep inhale in a canister of black tea. This is entirely my opinion, but it also smells a little like smoking luxury weed to me–a little earthy and sweet, too.” –Kathleen Hou, ELLE beauty director
Notes: Bergamot, bay leaves, black tea, fig, hay, tobacco, cedarwood, vetiver, musk
Nordstrom rating: 4.4/5 stars
BEST FLORAL LE LABO PERFUME
$99 at Nordstrom$99 at Saks Fifth Avenue
Floral fragrances are classic, and this scent is packed with a wide variety, giving the sense that you are an entire bouquet. “I am a firm believer that there is a floral fragrance for everyone. Lys 41 is mine because it feels feminine but is not overly sweet,” says West.
Notes: Lily, jasmine, tuberose, absolute, ambrette, vanilla, musk
Nordstrom rating: 4.5/5 stars
A Nordstrom reviewer says: “My youngest daughter bought this for me as a Christmas gift and ever since, I have been enchanted by the scent. It seems too, that wherever I go, someone is asking me what perfume I am wearing. Le Labo does a wonderful job crafting their perfumes!”
MOST UNIQUE LE LABO PERFUME
$99 at Nordstrom$220 at Walmart$322 at Saks Fifth Avenue
While the scent notes in Another 13 may sound familiar, the end result is something very unique. It’s a subtle, clean scent with hints of spice and woods. “Another 13 is spicy, but still extremely light with a bit of sweetness,” says West. Plus, it smells slightly different on everyone’s skin.
Notes: Ambrox, musk, amber, jasmine, moss, ambrette seeds
Nordstrom rating: 4.3/5 stars
A Nordstrom reviewer says: “A subtle skin scent that is what I imagine a paper mill or printing press warehouse would smell like. Upon first spray, you can catch a hint of jasmine and pear, then it quickly settles into clean, crisp white woods, and an almost metallic sharpness. I suspect this smells a little different on everyone as it mixes with your own skin musk. It’s sillage is soft enough to not overwhelm–I almost forget I’m wearing it. However, it clearly lingers since I’ve received compliments and inquiries on what fragrance I’m wearing. If you’re used to wearing potent, heady, room-filling perfumes, this is definitely not for you. If you would enjoy an understated fragrance that inspires you to cozy up on a leather couch and read a weathered library book, Another 13 might be up your alley.”
MOST POPULAR LE LABO PERFUME
$99 at Nordstrom$87 at Walmart$322 at Saks Fifth Avenue
Whether you’re a perfume aficionado or a newcomer to the scent world, odds are you’ve heard of Santal 33. It’s a sensual, creamy perfume with just the right hints of florals and woods to keep it balanced.
Notes: Australian sandalwood, cedarwood, cardamom, iris, violet, smoky wood alloy, ambrox, leather accord, musk
Nordstrom rating: 4.3/5 stars
An ELLE Editor says: “For a period of time in the 2000s, every luxury hotel in NYC and anyone who lived in SoHo smelled like this scent. The original inspiration was this fragrance was allegedly the American West, and once you smell its mix of smokey, woodsy, sexy notes, you never forget it. Particularly because someone you probably know is still wearing it. Whether it’s cult or classic, is up to you.” –Kathleen Hou

I have a deep love for getting my nails done. Although the process can be time-consuming, the results never fail to boost my mood. Instead of regular gel manicures every two weeks, I switched to CND’s Plexigel, which has made a significant difference. Now, I can go a full four weeks between appointments, and the addition of builder gel has resolved the issue of overgrown hyponychium.
Even though I can go a month without needing a touch-up, I prefer natural looks that grow out gracefully. I avoid dark colors and trendy 3D embellishments like “junk” nails. Recently, I discovered the “naked” French tips trend and found it quite intriguing.
French manicures are making a comeback, and the naked French tip trend puts a modern twist on the classic style. It enhances the natural beauty of your nails while creating a diffused French manicure effect.
According to Vanessa Sanchez-McCullough, a celebrity nail artist, in the past, there was a popular style called “forever French nails” that used pink and white acrylic powder. However, it fell out of favor due to its stark appearance. Naked French tips, on the other hand, offer a clean and natural look without being too intense or harsh. It gives the illusion of wearing clear polish while still covering any imperfections, as Sanchez-McCullough explains.
According to Sanchez-McCullough, the tone and color of Porcelain are a very soft white, making it ideal for this trend. After allowing it to cure, she went back to fill in any gaps, ensuring that the color was evenly distributed on the tip.
Next, she applied CND Plexigel in Oatmilk over the entire nail. Oatmilk is her preferred shade because it has a milky appearance without being overly opaque. Using a neutral color along the cuticle line has the advantage of seamless grow-out, as Sanchez-McCullough explains. The natural hue of CND Oatmilk blends in with the nail’s natural color, making any regrowth less noticeable.
After the first coat, she applied another layer of CND Plexigel Shaper Gel to refine the nail’s shape without compromising the colors already applied. This clear, thin viscosity gel prevents the nail from appearing bulky. To complete the manicure, she used CND Plexigel Top Coat and allowed it to cure.
The end result was truly the manicure I had always dreamed of. Normally, I prefer sheer colors that reveal the white of my nails, but they are not all uniform in size or shape. This French tip provided a sense of uniformity and made my nails look flawlessly natural. I am absolutely obsessed with this trend and plan on repeating it countless times until I tire of it, which I highly doubt will happen anytime soon.

If you’re experiencing hair loss, there are various solutions to consider, including hair growth supplements, hair growth oils, and thickening shampoos. These shampoos, packed with beneficial ingredients, can transform flat hair into voluminous strands. While they may not have clinical evidence to support hair regrowth, they can promote hair growth by creating a healthy scalp environment and improving blood circulation to the hair follicles. Some thickening shampoos also provide a temporary thickening effect by coating the hair shaft. If you’re looking for quick results, these products can be a great option. To help you achieve the hair of your dreams, we have compiled a list of 7 recommended hair-thickening shampoos from brands like Vegamour and JVN.

The shampoo is also said to be vegan, cruelty-free, and devoid of synthetic fragrances, only using bergamot oil for a fresh scent.”
