After years of extremely sleek, flat styles dominating beauty references, fuller hair is regaining ground in 2026. Defined waves, well-formed curls, visible texture, and lengths with more movement are appearing both in red carpet productions and in looks that value a less polished finish. The idea is not necessarily to go for very long hair, but to create an appearance of greater density and presence.
The trend can also be seen in the promotion of "Practical Magic 2," which brought together Nicole Kidman, Sandra Bullock, and Joey King at different events. The actresses appeared with different styles, but with volume as a common point. Nicole went for blonde hair with curls and plenty of fullness, while Sandra showed up with voluminous hair as well.
