Southern Living's editorial guidelines Updated on March 19, 2024 Close Photo: @stylistinsta/@charlieandcosalons Spring is all about new beginnings, which means there's no better time to breathe fresh life into your hair with a trendy new haircut. If you've been too holed up all winter to head into the salon, a chop might be in order. For that, we're seeing all sorts of ultra-flattering lengths that graze the collarbones, hit the shoulders, or frame the chin in just the right way. Let's not forget that a little color refresh could also be in order, and we're more than ready to show the world the lightened version of ourselves with a new spring hair color. From there, you can add bangs, layers, or deep side parts to your heart's content. Everything from tousled texture to super straight sleekness is on the docket, and we're ready to enter the season with flattering spring hairstyles. Here are 36 pretty spring haircuts to freshen up your look. 01 of 36 Mini Fringe and Shoulder Length @salsalhair If you're not feeling bold enough to chop all of your hair off, go for a set of mini fringe that will highlight your brow and cheekbones. 02 of 36 Textured Collarbone Cut @hairby_chrissy If you want to add major curb appeal to your look, go with a collarbone cut, no question. It's ultra-flattering and works well with layers and texture. 03 of 36 Shaped Bob @salsalhair This isn't your typical chin bob. Short, choppy layers help create crazy-flattering shape and volume, while curtain bangs are the ultimate finishing touch. 04 of 36 90s Bob @riawna There's no stopping the 1990s; they're coming back hard whether you want them to or not. As for this straight, chin-framing bob, we're fully on board. 05 of 36 Curtain Bangs @brianacisneros We've said it before, and we'll say it again: Curtain bangs are the coolest fringe on the market. If you want something to instantly give you confidence, these are it. 06 of 36 Layered Mid-Length Curls @jaye_edwards Layers are the key to adding extra bounce to curly hair, no matter the length. 07 of 36 Modern Mullet @natalieannehair Anyone else thinking of chopping off their hair these days? This crop cut is serving up majorly chic vibes that you can style in many different ways. 08 of 36 Long Layers @mizzchoi When you're working with tousled texture and flattering multi-dimensional hair color, there's no need to go crazy with your cut. The layers will do the talking. Keep your layers long to ensure there's volume and movement to make the most of your mane. 09 of 36 Asymmetrical Lob @natalieannehair This is quickly becoming our new favorite 'do to try this season. A deep side part and asymmetrical cut is a surefire way to update any mane. 10 of 36 Rounded Bob @natalieannehair / Instagram Award for the most flattering bob of the year goes to...this one-length lob that curves under to frame the face and accentuates your collarbone. 11 of 36 Girly Shag @salsalhair You get all the bangs and layers of a classic rocker shag without the heavy eyeliner and torn band tee. Ask for slightly wispy fringe to make it more wearable. 12 of 36 Asymmetrical Pixie @rachelwstylist You don't need to sacrifice any styling potential if you leave one half of your hair longer when opting for a short crop cut. 13 of 36 Layered Long Curls @curlsbyhamsa Make a longer cut work for a curly girl by adding plenty of layers. Pair with curly bangs, and you're set with a spring refresh. 14 of 36 Deep Side Part @hairbycharlie Something as simple as changing up your hair's usual part can make your length and style look totally fresh. Experiment with a super deep side part and tousled texture for an instant refresh. 15 of 36 Classic Hollywood Cut @natalieannehair These brushed-out waves are calling our name. Keep your hair long and layered to enhance the Old Hollywood potential. 16 of 36 Top-Heavy Shag @lindsayshair Dive straight into cool-girl waters with this edgy shag cut that is heavy on the layers with full bangs up top. 17 of 36 Face-Framing Shoulder Cut @romeufelipe This might be the most flattering length to come out of the salon. Keep it largely layerless to make the most of your thickness, and let the face-framing pieces hit all the good spots: temples, cheekbones, jawline, and collarbone. 18 of 36 Bob with Hidden Layers @veronica_nunez Hidden layers and texture in this middle-parted cut make it anything but boring. 19 of 36 Longer Curtain Bangs @stylistinsta/@charlieandcosalons Curtain bangs add beautiful framing and volume around your face. If you ask your stylist for direction on what style could best suit your face, trust them! Stylists are trained to know what will look best on different face shapes and they can offer suggestions that reach the best outcome for your style, says Kali Larson, a Tampa Bay, Florida stylist. 20 of 36 Subtle A-Line Length @chrisjones_hair The blunt lob just got a texture-friendly update that feigns extra volume, thanks to a slightly shortened backside that lets longer pieces in the front frame the face. 21 of 36 Wispy Curls @nubiarezo Curly bangs instantly make every curl type look too cool for school, which is very much the move for spring. Ask for low-maintenance, piecey bangs to keep styling easy. 22 of 36 Cascading Curls Kali Larson / @hairbykalidelta We love the look of loose beach waves. Subtle face framing in the front and soft layers make for buildable volume while keeping your hair long. 23 of 36 Flipped Bob @ashleyantoinebeauty This is another throwback cut that has us all in. Everything about it, from the collarbone-grazing length to the flipped-under ends to the straight, ultra-sleek styling, could convince us to make a pre-spring chop. 24 of 36 Side Bangs @anhcotran If you want to update your lob for spring, try on a pair of side bangs for size. They're not near as committal as full-on bangs, and they're flattering for all ages. 25 of 36 Frenchie Bangs @renyaxydis If you're looking for that je ne sais quoi, these bangs are a no-brainer. You want something that's not too blunt, but not too wispy. 26 of 36 Curly Cropped Cut @soraverly Give all that curly volume somewhere to thrive with a super cropped cut that goes above a bob. 27 of 36 French Bob Kali Larson / @hairbykalidelta This cut may look intimidating but what the French bob lacks in length, it makes up for in volume and sheer, effortless style. 28 of 36 Curl-Boosting Layers @salsalhair This client of stylist Sal Salcedo went from weighed-down curls to totally volumized ringlets with the addition of lots of imperfect layers. 29 of 36 Casual Chin Bob @chrisjones_hair Another reason to go short? Significantly less worrying about how much time is spent on styling—and this no-fuss bob agrees. 30 of 36 Short Shag Cut @ashleyantoinebeauty The shag haircut will never go out of style and looks extra flattering on those with texture or curls. 31 of 36 Face Framing on a Straight Cut Kali Larson / @hairbykalidelta Beside this hair color (who doesn't love a good balayage?), we're obsessed with this straight cut and gentle face framing by stylist Kali Larson. 32 of 36 Grown-Out Curtain Bangs @nikkilee901 We could go on about curtain bangs all day long. They're that good. Versatile, flattering, and the most low maintenance fringe ever? Consider us sold. 33 of 36 Brunette Beach Waves Kali Larson / @hairbykalidelta They say blondes have more fun but with a brunette shade like this, we're here for playing devil's advocate. 34 of 36 Layered Curtain Bangs @stylistinsta/@charlieandcosalons Long face-framing layers are the easiest way to update any length cut. Ask for just below the chin. 35 of 36 Bob with Bangs @stylistinsta/@charlieandcosalons Adding wispy bangs to a shaggy bob is the finishing touch that pulls the whole look together. 36 of 36 Micro Bangs @veronica_nunez Go extra bold for spring with a cropped cut with baby bangs. The vintage style of bangs are made for a stylish risk-taker. Frequently Asked Questions What is the trendiest haircut for spring? The lob haircut is the most popular cut for spring.
