Top 5 Hair Trends to Recreate this April
From classic bangs to '70s-inspired hairdos, here are the five trends you should try your hand at this month
Looking for a sign to change up your hair? Well, this is it. This April, we'll be taking notes from television's hottest show of the moment – Daisy Jones & The Six – and your favourite celebrities to recreate beauty's top five hair trends.
Bring Back The '70s
If there's one thing the Internet's obsessed with at the moment, it's the '70s aesthetic – all thanks to Amazon Prime Video's Daisy Jones & The Six. Starring Riley Keough, Suki Waterhouse and Camilla Morrone, the show features a stylish array of vintage outfits. The best part of the look though? The hair.
Each band member showcases one prominent hairdo reminiscent of the era; think: '70s blowouts, maximised volume, curtain bangs, and a whole lot of hair-ttitude. Take a page from The Six and recreate your best '70s-inspired hairdo. All you need are hot rollers, a brush, smoothing cream, and hairspray.
Get The Chop
Bangs are calling your name. Stars like Taylor Swift, Twice's Momo, Beabadoobee, and Sabrina Carpenter have all opted for the classic hairstyle, complementing the edgy-cute aesthetic many are going for these days. Although it may seem easy to recreate these looks on your own, we do still recommend going to a proper salon to get them cut professionally and maintained.
Slicked-Back
This 2023, we're keeping it sleek. After all, it's the best way to show off your beat at any event. Artists like Selena Gomez, Megan Thee Stallion, Dua Lipa, and Ariana Grande have all embraced the classy style. To get the desired look, ensure you have the right products to prep your strands.
Start by blow-drying your hair toward the ponytail to make it smooth. Next, put your hair up in a high pony and pull your elastic tight. Lastly, clean up any flyaways with a light smear of gel from the front of your scalp to the back. After that, you can style your ponytail any way you want it; loose like Selena's, pleated like Megan or Dua's, or volumised like Ari's.
A Staple Headpiece
Hair accessories have made their comeback, this time in the form of bandanas as seen on models and artists – Angèle, Bella and Gigi Hadid, and Nicola Peltz Beckham. Besides keeping your hair at bay on greasy hair days, this versatile piece of cloth can change up any outfit – be it add a pop of colour to your otherwise muted fit, or just add a casual touch to a carefully layered one.
Keepin' It Cute
Get inspired by Hailey Bieber, Blackpink's Lisa, and Red Velvet's Joy, and opt for bows this April. The addition of these hair accessories to your braids, space buns, or ponytails will have you looking cute in no time.
Our styling tips? Match the colour of your bows to your outfit and makeup. The size of the bows also complements different hairstyles. We suggest using narrower bows for tighter styles like braids, and broader bows for more voluminous and loose styles.
