Paris Fashion Week in Review (Hair trends)

Paris AW2026 brought a sharper, more controlled and elegant direction. Hair moved towards precision and

placement, whilst still soft and natural. It felt deliberate, structured, and restrained.

Chanel

At Chanel, hair was sleek, controlled, and mostly gathered into chignons, sitting alongside moments

of natural hair. The finish felt clean and effortless, close to the head with a quiet precision rather

than obvious product or force. Subtle flashes of iridescent texture caught the light throughout,

introducing an editorial shift.

Tom Ford

At Tom Ford, the look centred around a strong middle, or off center parting, with hair pushed back

using product to create a sleek, almost coated surface. Bleached hair ran throughout, worn both

with and without visible roots, adding contrast between polish and rawness. The finish felt

deliberate and controlled, with a subtle tension between refinement and exposure.

Saint Laurent

At Saint Laurent, hair was defined by a heavy side parting, pulled tightly into sleek chignons. The

finish was precise and directional, sitting close to the head with a high level of control. It felt strong,

almost military look.
