The change of season is the perfect excuse to update your look, and the catwalks are already dictating the rules of the game. We're talking about the main haircuts that will dominate this year.
In the world of fashion, hairstyles are always the finishing touch that sets a trend. In search of the perfect haircut for the spring-summer 2026 season, we turn to the catwalks as often as to new clothing collections. After all, it is there that the most precise visual codes of modernity are born.

Altuzarra spring-summer 2026
From the latest in 2020's bangs (and there's more than one of them this time) to the retro aesthetic pioneered decades ago by icons like Jane Fonda and Farrah Fawcett, here are the key takeaways to help you master the 2026 beauty trends with the skill of a true stylist.
The main haircut trends for spring-summer 2026:
Long hair with elongated bangs
Perfect for those looking for a radical change but not willing to sacrifice length. We saw this pairing at Chloé, with the brand's signature bohemian style, and at Chanel, where long bangs complemented natural waves. It proves that no matter what your hair texture, this cut works flawlessly.

Short straight bangs (above the eyebrows)
A bolder and more daring microtrend that we didn't expect to see return so soon. Straight short bangs that reveal the eyebrows appeared in the Altuzarra and Sacai collections. The common denominator is a perfectly smooth hairline. This detail makes the look unique and at the same time easy to style.

Mid-length
Brands like Fendi, Jean Paul Gaultier, and J. Press are bringing back a style that has been in the shadows for a long time. The medium-length haircut (shoulder length or slightly below) is distinguished by its practicality: it is easy to maintain and opens up a multitude of possibilities for various hairstyles.

Cascade and Curtain bangs
If you want to create a dramatic face-framing effect but aren't ready for a classic bang, “curtains” are your option. They work with any length and texture. You can go for a sharp graphic version, like McQueen and Fforme, or a softly blurred cascade of layers to add movement, like Valentino offers.

Shaggy in the spirit of the 70s
The 70s-inspired shaggy haircut is not going to leave the fashion charts. This year it is making a comeback with short layers, as seen on the Miu Miu and Stella McCartney shows. It suits everyone, but it will be a real salvation for owners of wavy hair who often hesitate to choose a shape.

XL-length and long layers
The “almost uncut hair” trend promises to be dominant. At least that's what Bottega Veneta, Christian Dior, Louis Vuitton and Dolce & Gabbana think. They offer extreme lengths with barely noticeable graduation. It's the perfect canvas for experimenting with hairstyles, but it requires impeccable care.

Pixie or garcon
Short hair is officially back. If you've been dreaming of this move for a long time, opt for a pixie or a garcon. Short temples and the back of the head, combined with a longer top, best emphasize oval, diamond and heart-shaped faces. Focus on the Altuzarra show or the nostalgia for the “swinging sixties” with the images of Twiggy and Audrey Hepburn.

Straight short bob
Rounding out the list is an absolute classic: the short bob with a perfectly straight cut, like Demi Moore's. This year, it became the main character on the catwalks of Balmain, Gabriela Hearst and Hermès, as well as a constant favorite of Lily Collins and Hailey Bieber.
