We may be a third of the way through the year, but if you need a recap on the 2025 hair trends that have been (and will continue) dominating our fyp, you’ve come to the right place. We got in touch with the leading hair pros and tastemakers to get their steer on what to watch out for at the start of the year, and so far, so accurate. Although, we’ve seen a couple of curveballs enter the arena, too.
One major movement? Fresh interpretations of trad trends are in. “We’re seeing an increased interest in reinventing classic hairstyles in a modern way, like a messy textured bob as opposed to something laser cut,” notes Joanna Christie, CMO at Treatwell. “Continuing on from this theme, hairstyles that highlight a person’s natural texture have grown in popularity, over drastic hair texture changes that come from straightening treatments,” Joanna adds.
Elsewhere, we’re still not over Sabrina Carpenter’s curtain bangs or fire-toned strands. According to Joanna: “Sabrina Carpenter’s tousled buttery blonde waves and Dua Lipa’s fiery copper undertones owned 2024s modern and confident hair looks,” and heading into summer, both remain core trends.
Here are the 2025 hair trends you should really know…
The flip
There’s one teensy detail that we’ve noticed everywhere that’s been levelling up everyday hair looks, and that’s the hair flip. If you want to lean into one of 2025’s biggest trends with very little heavy lifting, you don’t even need to visit the salon for the latest chop of colour. Instead, grab your round brush and flip your ends.
The style channels several decades, particularly ’60s nostalgia, but with a modern spin. “With the help of style heroines like Jackie Kennedy, the flip hairstyle was one that defined the ‘60s,” explains celebrity hairstylist Larry King, and it’s had a sleek glow-up for 2025 that, crucially, gives versatility and personality. Depending on how you style it, it can look sophisticated, retro, cute or playful. “It feels young, modern and energetic,” confirms Larry. This style works particularly well on shorter bobs and midi styles where the ends finish at your eye-line, but it can work on all lengths.
