Spring Hair Ideas
Spring always feels like a fresh start — lighter days, a change of wardrobe, and often the urge to do something with your hair too. You don’t need a dramatic overhaul to feel refreshed; sometimes a softer style or a subtle change of colour is all it takes. Here are three spring hair ideas the team at Wisteria Avenue in Abingdon love, and how to make them work for you.
Half-up styles
The half-up look is a spring classic for good reason — it’s relaxed, pretty, and sits comfortably between casual and dressed-up. The top section of the hair is gathered and secured while the rest falls loose, for a soft, effortless finish. It’s one of the most adaptable styles there is: it works across hair types and lengths, and it’s easy to wear day to day or for an occasion. It’s also a lovely way to show off colour or layers.
Long, loose curls
Soft, loose curls bring movement and body, and they suit the lighter mood of spring perfectly. Rather than tight, defined curls, the look here is gentle and natural — curls that are loosened out so they fall softly. It’s a versatile finish that carries from daytime through to evening, and it adds volume and texture without committing to any change in cut or colour. If you’d like to get this look more easily at home, it’s worth asking your stylist to show you a technique that suits your hair.
Balayage
If you fancy a change of colour for spring, balayage is hard to beat. The colour is painted through the hair in soft, sweeping sections to create a natural, sun-kissed effect — brighter towards the ends, with depth kept up top. It adds dimension without a drastic change, and because it grows out softly it’s wonderfully low-maintenance, which makes it an easy one to commit to. Our stylists tailor balayage to your hair and skin tone, so the result genuinely suits you.
