It's not often the hairstyles at Fashion Week consist of low-heat and minimal effort, but that was the common theme on the Spring/Summer 2024 runways. Because if you're anything like me, as soon as the weather heats up—I try to make my beauty routine as quick and easy as possible, and these hairstyles are the perfect fit. The first step to nailing hair trends for spring? Find your stash of hair bows, headbands, or even leftover holiday ribbons. Elevated accessories took the spotlight on the spring 2024 runways, from bows–both oversized and petite–to ‘90s comb headbands. Ahead, the six spring trends straight from the runways and the best products to help achieve these styles right now.
Comb Headbands
For Peter Do's debut collection for Helmut Lang, hairstylist Jawara Wauchope worked with Do to bring the style of downtown New York to the runway. "Peter wanted it to not look so put-together, so the inspiration was greasy hair that hadn't been washed in a few days," he tells Bazaar. "I came here today on the subway and was sweating, so that whole element of sweaty hair and running around the city is what we were going for." To create the illusion of three-day-old hair, Wauchope used the Bumble and Bumble Hairdresser Invisible Oil Primer–but not in the typically way. "Usually, you put a little in and then blow dry your hair, but we put loads in the hair to make the it heavy and then locked in the oil with the Dyson Corrale Hair Straightener."
In the accessories department, Wauchope combined '90s Helmut Lang with the current collection by cutting extra fabric from Do's designs to create ribbons and headbands and by bringing back the '90s comb bands.

Hairstylist Matthew Curtis brought vintage glamour to the Alice and Olivia Spring/Summer 2024 show, which was designer Stacey Bendet's take on Truman Capote’s 1996 Black and White Ball. "Since the show was inspired by the swans of the Ball, we wanted to take the glamour of the '50s and '60s but give it a modern twist," Curtis tells Bazaar. From low ponytails to rope-braid buns, the models' hairstyles were accessorized with dainty crystals and pearls.

"We wanted to make sure it looked like the model could do this hair on herself," says Wauchope, who was also the lead hairstylist for Altuzarra. Instead of a simple low pony, Wauchope twisted the ends of each ponytail into a knot for an elevated look. As a juxtaposition to the loose style, each model had a clean center part and a few face framing pieces in the front. To achieve that undone look, he used Fekkai Full Blown Volume Dry Texture Spray all over.
