The trend of voluminous hair is back this summer, marking a shift from the previous seasons dominated by sleek styles. Celebrity hairstylist Sangeeta Hegde notes that trends often pause rather than disappear, and the current preference for fuller textures reflects a desire for glamour and expressiveness. Celebrities like Sydney Sweeney and Gigi Hadid are leading the charge with their voluminous hairstyles, which evoke a nostalgic 90s feel while remaining modern and wearable. Hair expert Sneha J Jhaveri describes today's volume as soft and alive, influenced by the supermodel aesthetic without the stiffness of past styles. Designers at Lakme Fashion Week 2026 showcased this trend, featuring soft, natural waves that complemented fluid silhouettes. For those looking to achieve this voluminous look at home, Jhaveri recommends using lightweight products, drying hair upside down, and employing techniques like Velcro rollers and gentle backcombing to enhance volume.
