Every season, New York Fashion Week and London Fashion Week set the stage for the latest hair trends, and this year was no exception. Designers and hair stylists alike took centre stage, creating mesmerising looks that pushed the boundaries of creativity. From colourful hair extensions to intricate updos, the 2024 Fashion Week scene was brimming with bold, head-turning styles. Whether you’re a trendsetter yourself or simply looking for inspiration for your next hairstyle, we’ve rounded up some of the hottest hair looks from this year’s New York and London Fashion Week – each one worthy of Miranda Priestly herself.
Colourful Extensions
Chet Lo brought an explosion of vibrant energy to New York Fashion Week this year with his playful use of colourful extensions. Models graced the runway with bold, statement-making blue hair extensions. These clip-in hair extensions offered a fresh and effortless way to inject personality into any look, whether through subtle streaks or full-on vibrant locks. Hair visionary Anna Cofone hand painted delicate black patterns on each set of extensions, making them the perfect canvas for self-expression.

Floral Headpieces
Harris Reed took us on a whimsical journey with his signature touch of fantasy, incorporating oversized floral headpieces that felt straight out of a fairytale. Each model was crowned with cascading blooms, transforming them into walking works of art. These delicate floral arrangements were meticulously intertwined with the hair, creating an ethereal effect that felt both romantic and avant-garde. Paired with sleek short hair and 1920s style makeup, the floral headpieces brought the drama, perfect for anyone looking to channel high-fashion elegance with a surrealist twist.
Sleek Low Pony
Alaïa's runway during Fashion Week offered a masterclass in timelessness with the classic sleek low ponytail. This minimalist look is anything but basic, proving that simplicity can be striking. Pulled taut to perfection, these sleek ponytails embodied sophistication. The glossy, smooth texture of the hair was accentuated with just the right amount of shine, giving the models a polished, head-turning allure. Whether styled with permanent hair extensions to achieve that long, cascading effect or natural hair, the sleek ponytail is poised to be one of the go-to fashion trends of 2024, blending effortlessly with both casual and formal looks. Recreate yours today using our versatile Wrap Around Clip In Ponytail Extension.
Slicked Back Bun
Carolina Herrera’s show at New York Fashion Week reminded us that the slicked-back bun is here to stay. This chic, high-fashion hairstyle oozes sophistication and power. Models strutted down the runway with their hair pulled tightly into buns at the nape of the neck, allowing their features and the exquisite designs to take centre stage. The beauty of this style lies in its ability to transform you from day to night, whether it's worn for an evening gala or during a day at the office, it radiates confidence. For those with clip-in hair extensions or permanent extensions, this look becomes even more seamless, adding fullness and structure to the bun.
To keep your slicked updo in place, use a few spritzes of our Moisturising Silky Hair Spray to lock your tresses in place and keep pesky fly-aways at bay.
Artful Updos
Laquan Smith brought the heat to the runway with his unforgettable artful updos. Hair was teased, twisted, and pinned into complex shapes, creating a visual masterpiece. From French twists and abstract lines to unusual, braided bridal looks, each updo felt like a work of art, drawing attention to the models' faces and the striking garments they wore, making a strong case for why fashion week remains a playground for hairstylists around the globe. For those looking to replicate this at home, clip in extensions can help you achieve the added volume and structure required for these daring styles, particularly our One Piece Top Ups.
Banged Bob
Christian Cowan wowed fashion week with his edgy take on the classic bob, giving it a contemporary update with a bold bang. The banged bob featured sharp, blunt lines with an effortlessly cool vibe, offering a nod to both retro and modern aesthetics. The thick, heavy fringe added a touch of mystery and drama, framing the face in a way that was both flattering and fierce. This hairstyle, with its perfectly cut silhouette, proves that shorter hair can still have a major impact. Whether worn with or without extensions, blunt bangs screams chic, and it’s easy to see why it’s one of the top fashion trends of 2024.
If you’re not quite ready to take the plunge and cut yourself some bangs, why not try them out at home first with our Clip In Fringe? No fuss, no commitment, just gorgeous locks that can be added on to your own in seconds.
Sultry Spirals
Chopova Lowena took us back to the beauty of natural texture, showcasing models with tight, sultry ringlets, intricate spirals and maximalist braids that completely stole the show. These luscious curls were full of life, bouncing down the runway with a playful yet seductive energy. Some of the braided looks, either executed through long plaits or creative topknots, Lowena was able to channel a grungier aesthetic, pairing each hairstyle with heavy, over-the-top necklaces and neon makeup. Embracing natural hair is a key trend for SS25, and these spirals added a touch of romance. Tapping into a modern form of Grecian glamour, each hair look made the collection feel youthful and carefree.
