Winter is finally in the rearview, which means now is the perfect time to update your look for the warm weather. If you’re scrambling to think of your next hair move, Elizabeth Olsen‘s chocolate bangs are here to inspire your next trip to the salon. Bangs have been having a huge moment recently, and they’re not going anywhere this spring. So, when you grow tired of your current hair look, think glossy and luscious—just like Elizabeth.
2025 hair color trends are all about deep hues. And if you suit natural shades best, chocolate brown is the easy choice for spring. Even though we’re not all blessed with it as our natural color, it can actually be a fairly low maintenance change if you already have darker hair. (At least, compared to going bleach blonde.) The warm weather doesn’t have to mean going lighter, especially since chocolate brown is just as chic.
If you’re not yet convinced, take it from Elizabeth Olsen. The star was seen in NYC donning dark brown hair with wispy face-framing bangs. She’s had bangs for some time now, but it’s something about this chocolate brown color paired with that healthy shine that’s inspiring us to experiment with a similar look. If you don’t want to commit to a new color just yet, bangs and a little bit of hair gloss are another way to change up your look à la Elizabeth Olsen.
Glossy hair has been everywhere recently, and Elizabeth’s light-reflecting locks are only solidifying our obsession with the trend. While salons can provide the glass-like shine we’re all after, the look is also super achievable at home. Thanks to the internet’s obsession with at-home hair gloss treatments, there are tons of options at every price point. So, even if you’re not getting papped on the Upper West Side like Elizabeth Olsen, at least your hair will be picture perfect.
