Everything remains to be done, and now's the time to get introduced to the latest fashionable hair colours, cuts and styles. Your hair renewal for 2025 is about to begin.
Essential hairstyles for 2025 you should be aware of
A French twist
'Just look at the designs. To me, they say some sculpted hairstyles, with a French twist or a chignon,' he said. Mademoiselle carries a chignon tied sleekly in a knot at PatBo, or twisted, if you like it dramatic, like at Richard Quinn.
The pixie
For a forthcoming West End production. Both of these styles demonstrate that shorter lengths can also appear suitably feminine.
Global gloss
Head office, we've never been fans of the wet-look hair that's a staple at every fashion week, but shine is something that really appeals to us. And this shine is not just confined to the mid-lengths to ends: at Leonard Paris SS25, the hair appeared luscious and healthy-looking from root to tip.
Concentrate the bulk of the product on the mid-lengths and ends, but work the remaining product on your hands through the hair near the roots. The hair looks shinier and healthier after the first application.
The (new) romantic waves
to achieve rich, romantic curls that have a beautifully defined finish.
The throwback fringe
You'll see plenty of fringes – known as bangs – over the next few months, but our favourite is the throwback fringe, which gives a gentle nod to a '70s style. There's nothing like Farrah Fawcett levels of volume here, but instead, the cut is a bit choppy and shaggy. Tibi showed us what to do with such a style at its SS24 show.
The '70s cut
McKnight is also expecting some layered hairstyles reminiscent of the 1970s to make an appearance next year. 'Long hair is everywhere, but to keep it looking stylish and contemporary, consider a fringe or some choppy layers to sit alongside your cheekbones,' he says. 'Take inspiration from Stevie Nicks, Jane Birkin's bangs that skim her brow, and Marianne Faithfull's choppy cheekbone layers. It's about effortlessly cool texture and definition.'

Hollywood volume
The trend sparked by Sabrina Carpenter is still going strong. Big, bouncy hairstyles are all the rage; just take a look at the red carpet at the VMAs. Recent beauty product launches also reflect this growing demand, and while Carpenter's own hairstyle at the VMAs took six hours to achieve, newer styling tools can now save time.
'To achieve big, bouncy curls, use the volumising attachment at maximum heat and power setting, notes ambasador and stylist Syd Hayes. Next, curl each section of hair and then wrap it around your fingers, securing it in place with a pin.'
Cloud curls
"One from 'The Hairvoyant' Tom Smith, cloud curls utilise your hair's natural texture to create 'a halo of intentional fluff that brings an ethereal and carefree energy,' says Smith. 'Use your natural texture (if you have it), or recreate a similar style by braiding your hair after rough drying. Section with your fingers, and finish with a texturising spray and shake your hair upside down for an airy, fluffy finish.'
Bob hair trends we adore for 2023
The laser-cut bob
We're expecting to see plenty of bobs this season, according to Tom Smith. The laser cut is as accurate as you'd imagine. 'It's a perfectly measured, sharp, one-length bob that falls just above the shoulder and jawline,' says Smith. 'It looks best with a straight style or a hint of texture. This cut is ideal for individuals with fine hair, as it'll add the illusion of density and thickness.' Celebrities who have chosen this style include Jessica Biel, Lily Collins and Karlie Kloss, who's a long-time fan of the look.
The tousled midi bob
appears a bit more wearable than the sharply cut straightness, making the messy, chin-length cut an ideal introduction to shorter hair.
The French tuck bob
If Missoni and Weinsanto SS25 are anything to go by, you'll see plenty of bobs we're calling the French tuck: chin-skimming styles that are rounded off and tucked under the chin. It looks particularly chic with a side or diagonal parting, such as at Missoni; it helps stop the style looking too rounded and almost too young.
The hair colour trends to look out for in 2025.
The copper contrast
This person is a L'Oréal Professionnel Artist and Creative Director at Brooks & Brooks. The colour to watch out for this season, according to him, is copper, but with a twist. 'This season we're seeing a rise in earthy, rich shades of copper but worn with a natural undertone,' says Hawkins, which he thinks makes the shade suitable for all skin types. Combining the two different tones gives the shade dimension that appears more natural.
The terracopper
Terracotta and copper come together to create a striking and intense hue, as defined by stylist Tom Smith. 'This colour can be applied all over or used as a semi-permanent gloss on top of highlights or balayage,' Smith explains. 'It suits those with fairer complexions who have a pink undertone. The warmth of the colour enhances the natural glow of the skin, giving it a warm, rich appearance.'
Pumpkin spiced brunette
If you're looking for a modern take on brunette, take a look at Alexa Chung. We've seen her hair colour change from a very light brown to a richer, chocolatey brown over the years, but her latest shade is what we're calling pumpkin spiced brunette. The brown colour is based on a warm, cinnamon tone, giving a look that's lovely, pretty and modern.
Parisian blonde
It's completely chic: sandy and cool, with just the right amount of blonde. Muldoon created the look on Cara by adding some 'teasy light shades for a grown-out highlights effect'.
Toffee brunette
This colour mode has also been praised by hair stylist Tom Smith. 'It's rich and intense, and works well on darker bases,' says Smith. 'The warm tones blend chocolate, caramel and deep gold to give a shining and youthful appearance to the hair.' Individuals such as Kamala Harris, Sofia Vergara and Brie Larson embody this colour mode. Tom advises maintaining high gloss and shine levels using a weekly deep conditioning treatment.
