Whilst there's still some time before next year arrives, as a beauty editor, I'm already curious about which hair trends 2024 will bring. It'll come as no surprise that last year paved the way for short haircut trends, with many of us (read: pretty much the entire Who What Wear UK team) flocking to the salon to chop our lengths into every iteration of a bob haircut going, from blunt bobs to the Italian bob and inverted bobs. And there's no doubt about it—a quick scroll of Instagram confirms that short hairstyles are here to stay well into this year. From a colour perspective, salons were inundated with requests for red hair, from cowboy copper to cherry cola red, as one of the year's biggest hair colour trends of the year.
So, what hair trends lay in store for 2024? From trending haircuts to the hair colours we'll see everywhere I asked Jason Crozier, art director at Neville Hair & Beauty, for all the insights on the hair trends we'll be wearing in 2024.

Just when we thought we'd seen all the possible types of bob haircuts, another iteration has entered the chat. The "baroque bob" is set to be a big hair trend in 2024, according to Crozier, which lends itself well to those with natural curls or longer bob haircuts that have grown out. "Baroque-inspired curls bring an air of opulence, with Versace’s runway as a prominent example," he says. "In 2024, the trend will evolve with a contemporary twist. Celebrities like Zendaya continue to embrace voluminous curls, but now with a hint of avant-garde geometric shapes, offering a combination of timeless beauty and modern artistry."
If you're not blessed with natural curls, curling wands are your go-to for creating volume and body with your bob.
