If autumn has you reaching for the same sweater and the same bun on repeat, consider this your spring escape plan. The Spring/Summer 2027 runways have already served up plenty of hair inspiration, so you can steal a few ideas before everyone else catches up.
Cult Gaia and Tory Burch gave the humble ponytail a much more interesting job. Both shows featuredbelow-the-nape wrapped constructions that turn a basic tie back into something closer to a hair accessory.

A slipknot ponytail works best when there’s some grip to the hair. If your strands are silky and don’t hold styles well, try adding a texturizing product and secure the pony with an elastic before you tie the knot. Save this one for weddings, dinners, and days when a regular ponytail feels painfully predictable.

Crimped hair has a reputation for looking like a sleepover from the early 2000s. Christian Siriano and Christian Cowan make a strong case for giving it another chance. Their SS27 looks used texture as a deliberate styling tool, with crimping adding shape, lift, and visual interest.

You do not need to crimp your entire head to try it. Add texture to a few sections under a smooth top layer, or crimp the lengths before creating a ponytail or braid. A crimping iron works best for defined ridges. Heat protectant is essential, and a light texture spray can help the finish last.

The middle part has had a long reign. Diotima and Conner Ives suggest it may be time to move a few inches to the left or right. Their deep side sweeps bring drama to the front of the hair and give even simple styles a stronger silhouette.

This trend works particularly well on medium and long hair with enough length around the front. Use a blow dryer and round brush for a softer sweep, or add a little gel for a sharper evening look. It is an easy switch with a surprisingly noticeable result.

Nardos, Collina Strada, and Onalaja took volume well past the polite little bump at the crown. Their SS27 looks featured big shapes, lifted roots, and hair that clearly had no interest in being background decoration.

Fine hair can borrow the idea with volumizing mousse, root spray, and a round brush. Thicker hair has more room to go big, especially with velcro rollers or a blowout brush. This is the kind of hair that earns a second look at parties, fashion events, and summer nights when subtlety can take the evening off.

Susan Fang and Dreaming Eli showed that braids do not need military precision to look special. Their intricate styles mixed multiple sections, loose pieces, and plenty of texture, giving the finished looks a handcrafted quality.

This trend is especially useful for long, thick, or textured hair, since extra length gives you more room to build the design. Start with two or three simple braids and connect them with pins, elastics, or smaller plaits.
