One thing you need to know about me: I, quite literally, stalk every major celeb hairstylist on Instagram. What can I say? I love seeing their polished takes on everything from beachy waves, to sleek updos, to micro-box braids. Already, they’ve given us a peek at the biggest hair trends of 2023 and the spring hair colors you’re about to see all over your feed, and now, we’ve got one more: The biggest spring 2023 hair trends, including tons of celeb haircuts, some ‘80s and ‘70s-inspired styles, and the best spring hair accessories to layer on your hair.
And don’t worry if you’re not following every celebrity hairstylist on IG like I am—you can still catch up on all the biggest spring 2023 hair trends below. And, for some expert insights, I also chatted with celebrity hairstylist Justine Marjan for all of the best hair trends to try asap, whether you’re looking for a new spring haircut, a formal updo, or a simple day-to-day style, regardless of your hair type and texture.
Bows for spring 2023
If you’ve scrolled through Pinterest as of late, you’ve probably seen an iteration of this spring trend, because “it’s so fun and easy to personalize,” says hairstylist Justine Marjan, whether you try it with bow clips or ribbons (as seen on Madison Beer above). It looks especially cutesy and delicate with light, gauzy fabrics, evoking all those romantic, cottage-core vibes of the springtime. Or, if ~soft~ isn’t your thing, you can also pair yours with edgy accents—like a loose braid or smudged black eyeliner—to give your look some harder visual interest.

Chin-length bobs for spring
Shout-out to celebs like Lori Harvey, above, and Hailey Bieber for convincing everyone (including me!) to ditch your long hair in favor of a short bob. This look really frames your face since the cut stops right at your chin, especially if you flip your ends under with a hair straightener (see: Harvey).

Bedhead texture for spring
Tory Burch showcased this tousled hairstyle for spring, which totally subverts the notion of perfectly polished runway looks. The best part about this style is that there’s really no need to follow the source material exactly; rough up your usual texture, maybe give your hair some grit with a texture spray or root powder, and be on your merry way.

Tinsel-extensions trend
I’m already planning to copy this tinsel extension look from Chloe Cherry for a sparkly lil hair moment at a few music festivals this spring. I, personally, plan to pick up the INH Tinsel Ponytail extension for Coachella, but I’ve also got my eye on a set of colorful tinsel clip-ins.

Deep side parts
All of those millennial vs Gen-Z discussions on TikTok have led to this: Yup, side parts are back. At least, they are when you style them in an Old Hollywood way like on HoYeon Jung above, complete with finger waves and a shine spray for a glossy finish. If you need a little guidance to get your part right, follow the arch of your brow, as hairstylist Xavier Valesquez previously told Cosmo.

Retro spring hair trend
TY, Daisy Jones and the Six, for bringing us back to the ‘70s in music, fashion, and ofc, hair. So if you want to embody those vibes yourself (like Riley Keogh pictured here, who plays Daisy in the series), ask your hairstylist to give you razor-cut curtain bangs and lots of face-framing layers to get that feathered, Farrah Fawcett look. Then, to get a fluffy, voluminous finish, grab your hot rollers. Roll sections of your hair vertically (i.e., with the roller face up to the ceiling, so your hair flips up), and let them set for 15 to 30 minutes, depending on your hair texture.

Ballerina bun for spring 2023
If there’s any time to follow the balletcore trend, it’s definitely the breezy, sunny springtime days. Seen on spring/summer runway shows like Sandy Liang and Carolina Herrera, this polished, pulled-back bun is great for the windy and rainy days of the season. Plus, it’s legit so easy to try yourself by smoothing your hair back with a boar-bristle brush, securing it into a ponytail, then tightly wrapping and pinning your hair around the base of the elastic until you have a sleek bun. Just make sure to spritz it with some hairspray to avoid the ~elements~ from loosening the bun.
