2026 Haircut Trends: Soft, Styled & Seriously Cool

The Long Bob (aka the “Lob”)

The long bob is still reigning supreme in 2026 - and honestly, we’re not mad about it. It’s chic, versatile, and works for almost everyone. Whether worn sleek, wavy, or blown out big and bouncy, the lob is the ultimate “cool without trying too hard” cut.

Soft Fringes Are Everywhere

Heavy, blunt fringes are taking a back seat. This year it’s all about soft, wearable fringes that blend beautifully into the rest of the hair. Think airy, flattering, and easy to style.

2026 Hair Trends FLINT

Face Framing & Piecey Fringes

Face-framing layers and piecey fringes are having a major editorial moment. We’re finishing these looks with texture and movement using pastes, clays, and finishing sprays - especially from the Davines “More Inside” styling range for that perfectly undone finish.

FLINT Pro Styling Obsession:

Davines More Inside for texture, shine, and hold
Bumble and Bumble Repair Styling Cream for smoothness with strength

Shop both via our online store here.

Big, Bouncy Blow-Dries

Yes, the blow-dry is BACK - and bigger than ever. Think volume, movement, and a luxe finish that lasts. Effortless glam with a modern edge.

2026 Colour Trends: Warm, Glossy & Low Maintenance

Warm Copper & Sun-Kissed Shades

Cool tones are stepping aside as warm coppers and rich, glowing hues take centre stage. These shades add instant brightness and look incredible across all seasons.

Low-Maintenance Toners & Semi/Demi Colours

2026 is all about colour that grows out beautifully. We’re loving semi and demi-permanent colours that enhance without commitment — perfect for refreshing tone while keeping hair healthy.

Enhancing Your Natural Colour

Rather than changing everything, this year is about working with what you’ve got. Enhancing your natural shade, adding dimension, and keeping hair looking glossy and expensive.

Glossing Is a Must

Gloss treatments are non-negotiable in 2026. They boost shine, refine tone, and leave hair looking polished and healthy. Our colour favourites? Davines colour conditioners & Wella colour conditioners Perfect for maintaining tone, shine, and softness between appointments.
