This universally flattering and sophisticated hair look proves that while trends come and go, elegance is and will always be timeless. Keep scrolling to find out more.
With rich, luscious curls full of volume, Old Money Hair is the ultimate modern take on old world glamour. Born from the quiet luxury trend, this hairstyle is the latest trend in the old-money aesthetic that everyone is obsessed with. It’s now virtually impossible to scroll through TikTok without coming across a post with the hashtags #oldmoneyhair, #oldmoneybob, #oldmoneyblonde, and #oldmoneybrunette.
As the name suggests, this trend is all about embodying expensive-looking hair with high shine, natural textures and tones, and volume. Unlike the sleek, sleek hairstyles and beachy waves we all know and love, Old Money Hair is understated, intentional and effortless – the epitome of “Mom, I’m a rich man.” Essentially, it takes inspiration from old Hollywood hairstyles. Glamor icons like Marilyn Monroe, 20’s sleek waves, 50’s loose chignons and 80’s blowouts inspire and give it a modern twist that is equally desirable and attainable.
Aside from how gorgeous this look is, perhaps the best thing about it is how easy it is to maintain. Despite what the namesake suggests, vintage blonde and brunette hair is easy to maintain and effortless. They save you a trip to the hairdresser and won’t damage your hair in the long run.

Unlike light platinum tones, Old Money Blonde focuses on creating softness through a mix of cool and warm blonde tones with added emphasis and brightness at the hairline. By the same token, the old, wealthy brunette sharpens her fullness by weaving in subtle, warm-toned highlights and lowlights throughout in shades of copper, blonde, and ash blonde, or with an ultra-glossy solid color.
Additionally, this hair trend is universally flattering on all face shapes and skin tones thanks to its mix of colors and voluminous styles that evoke voluptuous girl vibes. Not only are the color waves super soft, but also the haircuts and styles themselves. Whether you want to sport a soft blow-up, natural hair, thick curls or waves, or an old money bob, each individual style can be tailored to you, perfectly framing your face and desired aesthetic.
