Spring 2027 Hairstyle Trends: Low Ponytails, Crimps and Big Bangs, Made Easy
What hairstyles are trending for spring 2027? In New York, the low ponytail was "the top tapped style of the entire week," according to Vogue. [1] In Paris, Vogue said "a forward fringe is le star du moment," with bangs at Celine, Louis Vuitton, Loewe and more. [2] Crimps and tight ringlets showed up too. [1] [3]
Short answer
- Low ponytail: sleek, knotted, folded or curly.
- Big bangs: pointy, tousled, side swept, glassy straight or fuzzy.
- Crimps: two very different crimped looks in New York.
- Ringlets: tight curls and curly bangs at Acne Studios.
Trend 1: The low ponytail
Vogue listed several versions at New York Fashion Week: an "infinite knot," "the fold," a simple elastic at Tory Burch, a "coil pony" of curls, and "graphic low ponytails" at Zankov. [1]
How to do it (original):
- Brush hair back. Use a little gel or cream at the hairline for a sleek look.
- Gather at the nape of your neck, not the crown.
- Secure with a soft elastic.
- The fold: fold the ponytail up and pin it so it looks tucked.
- The knot: split the pony in two and tie a loose knot before the elastic.
- Curly version: leave curls loose in the tail and define them with cream.
Hair safety: tight ponytails every day can pull hair out at the edges over time (traction hair loss). Keep it loose, switch the spot, and skip the tight version on most days.
Trend 2: Big bangs
Vogue's Paris report described bangs in "fairylike points," "tousles over headbands," "side swept curtains," "glassy straights" and "fuzzy waves." [2] Hairstylist Matthew Sosnowski told Vogue he sees "hair as a frame of the canvas, so fringe always provides that beautifully." [2]
Try before you cut (original):
- Clip in bangs first, for a week.
- Pin your hair forward and fold it under to fake a fringe.
- If you have a strong cowlick or very oily skin, start with curtain bangs. They are easier to grow out.
Styling bangs fast:
- Wash just your bangs in the sink in the morning.
- Blow dry them side to side with a flat brush, then down.
- A little dry shampoo keeps them from separating.
Trend 3: Crimps
Vogue noted two "totally different" crimps at Area and Christian Siriano in New York, and Paris had "crimpy, colorful" wiglet bangs at Kiko Kostadinov. [1] [2]
How to do it (original):
- No heat: braid damp hair in four to six small braids, sleep, and undo in the morning.
- With heat: use a crimping or mini waver iron on dry hair with heat protectant. Keep it under 185°C (365°F) for fine hair.
- Just a piece: crimp only the front pieces or the ends for a softer look.
Trend 4: Ringlets
Vogue Singapore said tight ringlets and curly bangs led Acne Studios. [3]
How to do it (original):
- Curly hair: use a gel on soaking wet hair, then finger coil small sections.
- Straight hair: wrap small damp sections around flexi rods or paper straws overnight.
- Do not brush once dry. Separate with fingers and a drop of oil.

Quick styling kit

- Gel or cream for sleek looks
- Heat protectant

Day to night with one style (original)
Low pony:
- Day: soft, a few pieces loose at the front.
- Night: slick it back with gel and wrap a small piece of hair around the elastic to hide it.
Bangs:
- Day: brushed to the side.
- Night: straight and glossy, with a little shine spray.
Crimps:
- Day: only the ends.
- Night: full head, pulled into a low pony.
Protect your hair while you try trends
- Use heat on dry hair only, never wet.
- Do not use the same tight elastic spot every day.
- Sleep on a satin pillowcase or in a satin scarf to keep crimps and curls longer.
- Give your hair two or three heat free days a week.
Quick takeaway
Spring 2027 hair: low ponytails, big bangs, crimps and ringlets.
Keep ponytails loose to avoid pulling hair out at the edges.
Clip in bangs before you cut them.
Use braids overnight for heat free crimps.
