The Trendsetter Choice: From the Red Carpet to Your Date Night: 2026’s Golden Globe Hair Secrets & Valentine’s Steals
The 2026 awards season kicked off with a masterclass in glamour at the Golden Globes, setting the stage for a year of "structured minimalism" and "vintage revivals." From the red carpet at the Beverly Hilton to your local salon, the message is clear: 2026 is the year of the reimagined classic.
Whether you’re looking to replicate the A-list shine or prepping for a romantic Valentine’s date, here is the ultimate breakdown of the hairstyles that stole the show and how you can get the look using the best tape in hair extensions.
Red Carpet Royalty: Top Hair Trends from the 2026 Golden Globes
1. The "Tucked Bob" Takeover
The bob remains the undisputed champion of the red carpet. This year, stars like Robin Wright, Ayo Edebiri, and Rhea Seehorn moved away from the blunt "power bob" toward something softer. The trend of the moment is the Tucked Bob looks like bob hair weave—a chin-to-shoulder length cut styled with a deep side part and one side effortlessly tucked behind the ear. It’s polished, modern, and highlights jawlines like nothing else.
2. Old Hollywood 2.0
Vintage isn't just a look; it's a mood. Selena Gomez and Maura Higgins channeled mid-century sirens with voluminous, bouncy curls and high-gloss finishes. Unlike the stiff sprays of the past, the 2026 version is all about "touchable volume." Using large-barrel irons and lightweight shine serums, stylists created waves that move with the wearer rather than staying frozen in time.
3. Gothic Glamour and "Vintage Wood"
For the brunettes, Charli XCX and Amal Clooney led the pack with "Gothic Waves" and "Vintage Wood" tones. This trend focuses on ultra-healthy, glass-like shine and deep, rich mocha hues. Charli’s jet-black, cascading locks emphasized hair health as the ultimate luxury, while Amal’s soft, tumbling waves proved that timeless elegance never go out of style.
4. The "Bixie" and Textured Pixies
Short hair had a major moment thanks to Teyana Taylor, whose textured "bixie" (a bob-pixie hybrid) featured delicate finger waves. This look bridges the gap between edgy and ethereal, proving that short hair can be just as versatile for formal events as long extensions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What was the most popular hair color at the 2026 Golden Globes?
The trend shifted toward "Vintage Wood" (rich, multidimensional brunettes) and "Champagne Ribbon" blondes. The "icy platinum" look has been replaced by warmer, buttery tones that look more natural and sun-kissed.
How can I make my hair look as shiny as a celebrity’s?
The secret is Color Melting and Hair Perfumes. Celebrities like Amanda Seyfried used hair perfumes and glossing serums to add a reflective layer to their updos. At home, use a sulfate-free shampoo and a weekly silk-protein mask.
Is the side part officially back for 2026?
Yes. While the middle part dominated for years, the 2026 Golden Globes featured an overwhelming number of deep side parts. It adds instant volume and a dramatic, "Old Hollywood" flair to almost any face shape.
What is a "Bixie" cut?
The Bixie is a mix of a bob and a pixie cut. It’s shaggy and textured like a pixie but has the length of a short bob, allowing for more styling options like waves or tucks.
