The Best Haircut Trends From London Fashion Week Street Style

[ad_1]

At fashion week, the onus has typically been on the various teams of hair and makeup artists to dream up next season’s beauty trends. Almost all of them push the envelope; just take a look at Pat McGrath’s viral glass skin effect on models at the recent Maison Margiela show.
In reality, though, the most wearable beauty trends come courtesy of fashion week street stylers, and in London especially, it’s all about the haircuts.
Last season, we spotted jaw-grazing bobs, beautiful protective styles, and a softer iteration of the shaggy “wolf” cut (see: the “kitty” cut). This time around, we’re expecting even more unique takes on the various classics. So call your hairdresser — here’s all of the haircut inspiration you’ll need this spring and beyond.

Is it a mullet? Is it a pixie cut? This style sits somewhere between the two — the “mixie” if you will — and it’s even better with the chopped bangs, which lends more of an edge. PHOTOGRAPHED BY MARIANA DOS SANTOS PIRES
Emilia Silberg is proof that the micro bob — a short crop that just about grazes the jaw — is going to reign supreme this year. We especially love the deep side parting and flicked ends, which can be achieved with a good straightener, like the ghd Chronos Styler 1-inch Flat Iron.Photographed by Dave Benett/Getty Images for CHARLES & KEITH
We’ve seen the “bixie” (a cross between a bob and a pixie cut) and the “mixie” (a mix of the mullet and pixie), but commentator and presenter Zeze Millz proves that the OG pixie cut can’t be beaten.
“Before, this was seen as the haircut for straighter, finer hair but it has adapted to curly hair and textured hair, too,” Neil Moodie, editorial hairstylist and founder of Neil Moodie Studio, told R29 recently. Photographed by Christian Vierig/Getty Images
Another day, another micro bob, this time on Eliza‘s junior shopping editor, Hannah Thompson. Thompson’s short, chunky crop — adorned with two simple silver clips — was cut by hairstylist Elliot Bute at Hershesons Fitzrovia. PHOTOGRAPHED BY MARIANA DOS SANTOS PIRES
Beautiful natural hair and protective styles are ruling both London’s streets and the runway shows this week, including Harris Reed, Chet Lo, and Preen by Thornton Bregazzi. PHOTOGRAPHED BY MARIANA DOS SANTOS PIRES
The “butterfly” lob (long bob) is the talk of London salons. Sitting just above the shoulders, it comprises subtle layers throughout the mid-lengths and long curtain bangs that provide a face-framing effect, much like this cut on digital creator Francesca Saffari outside the Bora Aksu show. Consider investing in a blow dry brush, like the T3 Airebrush, to style your layers effortlessly. Photographed by Christian Vierig/Getty Images
Celebrity hairdresser Harry Josh predicts that short chops with strong colors — much like this bleach blonde style — will play a key role in hair trends to come. “I feel like we are in a rebellious time in the world and people are fed up and want change to break out of the norm,” said Josh.

The fragmented bang is the cherry on top of this mid-length curly cut. When styling, choose a nourishing curl cream, like Pattern Styling Cream, and a lightweight hairdryer with a diffuser attachment, like the Curlsmith Defrizzion Travel Hair Dryer & Diffuser.PHOTOGRAPHED BY MARIANA DOS SANTOS PIRES
Mid-length haircuts are anything but boring. This cut boasts layers for heaps of volume and what hairstylists are calling “Birkin bangs”, a bang that occupies a cozy space between a full bang and a curtain bang. Photographed by Christian Vierig/Getty Images
Soft curtain bangs like these give long, one-length hair a little shape. When it comes to styling, a big round brush and a lightweight hairdryer is your best bet. Try the Moroccanoil Ceramic Round Brush and Dyson Supersonic hair dryer.PHOTOGRAPHED BY MARIANA DOS SANTOS PIRES
If the “butterfly” lob is a little too short for your liking, consider the original butterfly haircut as seen on Adriana Mora: shorter layers which are seamlessly blended into longer layers to encourage movement and volume. Photographed by Dave Benett/Getty Images for CHARLES & KEITH
Short and chunky curtain bangs are going nowhere fast and this is picture evidence that the style is so versatile. Wear your hair down or pulled back into a chic bun so that the bangs fall effortlessly around your face. Photographed by Christian Vierig/Getty Images
Closely-cropped bobs embellished with hair clips seem to be a theme at London Fashion Week this season, and we’re here for it. The deep side parting lends this look a 1920s vibe. Photographed By Mariana Dos Santos Pires
Another case for the mid-length haircut, this time with a wet-look edge. The secret to nailing it isn’t actually gel, which typically dries rock hard, but rather a heavy helping of shine spray like, Color Wow Extra Mist-ical Shine Spray, on damp hair. PHOTOGRAPHED BY MARIANA DOS SANTOS PIRES
If the idea of sweeping curtain bangs seems a little too high maintenance for you, consider a super straight full bang instead. Your chosen hairstylist should chop into the ends at an angle to give it some movement and texture, much like this style on the right. Photographed By Mariana Dos Santos Pires
Side part? Check. Long layers? Check. Copper apricot hair color? Yep. This look nails three major 2024 trends in one. Photographed By Mariana Dos Santos Pires
Like beabadoobee, ask your hairstylist for long layers to give hair that’s all one length a little something extra. Photographed By Mariana Dos Santos Pires
“Botticelli” waves (think loose waves inspired by the hair in Renaissance paintings) are everywhere right now and on hair this beautifully long, they’re mesmerizing. We’re especially enamored by the “cowgirl” copper hair color on this London Fashion Week guest. Photographed By Mariana Dos Santos Pires
The closely-cropped pixie is a key trend for 2024, according to Rodrigo Padilla, hairstylist at Jenna Perry Hair. Invest in a shine serum to amp up the glossy effect, like Arkive The Good Habit Hybrid Oil.Photographed By Mariana Dos Santos Pires
