Trends and Essential Professional Tools in the Salon
In 2026, hairstyling is evolving toward three key needs: controlled naturalness, speed of execution, and long-lasting results.
Clients want hair that looks “effortless,” yet flawless. Hairdressers need to achieve this in less time, with greater precision.
For this reason, professional hair tools are becoming essential—designed to deliver high performance with fewer steps and less stress on the hair.
Brontë Waves
Among the most requested hair trends of 2026 are Brontë waves—soft, irregular waves made iconic by Margot Robbie.
Compared to the past, these waves are less structured and more dynamic: the final look appears natural, but the technical work behind it remains crucial.
How to create them in the salon:
To achieve professional natural waves, use a 25 mm professional curling iron, such as our Infracurl, featuring Bio-Infrared technology.
Technical tips:
- Alternate the direction of each section
- Vary the tension
- Avoid overly uniform patterns
Natural Straight Look
In 2026, straight hair is softer and more fluid, with movement at the ends and light volume at the roots. A style that recalls looks like those of Dove Cameron. To achieve a professional result, it is essential to use a high-performance hair straightener—we recommend our Large2.
In-salon benefits:
- Work at controlled temperatures
- Avoid repeated passes Achieve
- structure and extreme shine
Hair Volume 2026: Natural and Strategic
Volume is making a comeback, but in a more targeted way: focused on the front root area, face contour, and light lengths.
How to create volume with professional tools:
For a natural effect, it’s important to work with a versatile straightener, such as Infrared Slim.
Technical steps:
- Lift sections at the root
- Position the straightener close to the scalp
- Rotate and direct the section
Hair trends in 2026 focus on naturalness, control, and speed.
Soft waves, natural straight looks, and strategic volume require technique—but above all, the support of advanced professional tools.
