The 7 Biggest Winter Hair Trends 2025

1. The Ripped Bob

First up is the effortlessly cool 'ripped' bob. "[This hairstyle is] chic yet low maintenance and embraces your natural texture, so it’s worn effortlessly and is the perfect style to air dry," explains Sakkas. If you do want to use a few products whilst air drying, Sakkas recommends a sea salt spray to encourage movement and texture.

2. '90s Nostalgia

I've been spotting these '90s style, face-framing layers everywhere at the moment, and according to Sakkas, this is set to be a big trend for winter. "There’s [going to be] a real appetite for volume and texture: think 90s nostalgia—retro bouncy blow-outs, or face-framing bed-head layers," he says. "It’s less about one dominating the other, and more about choosing which mood suits you—clean and refined, or big and expressive."

3. The Pixie

"The pixie haircut is a really flattering, cheekbone-enhancing style that can be personalised to suit your hair type and face shape," Sakkas tells me. "As we head into a new season, we’re going to be seeing more grown-up versions of the pixie, which are more defined with layered, shattered fringes. As it starts to grow out, play with different textures and shapes; tuck one side behind the ear, change the parting or add some texture through the top."

4. Face-Framing Colour

In terms of colour, Sakkas tells me that face-framing styles will be everywhere for winter. He recommends trying a "lumi blush" look, which uses "a balayage technique to add soft, blush-toned accents to frame the face while creating a subtle play of light and shadow throughout."

5. The Shag

"The shag is having a revival," says Sakkas. "For winter, it’s full of serrated and seamless textures, with feathered layers and retro choppy waves. This versatile style comes in multiple versions to suit almost every hair type and texture, making it one of the most popular trends for the season ahead. This cut speaks to a rebellious spirit and has the power to completely transform your look."

6. The Lob

If you're growing out your summer bob this season, the lob is the perfect in-between hairstyle. "The lob usually suits below the shoulders and suits all hair types, especially thicker hair. Still, the cut can be tailored for finer or thicker hair types," Sakkas explains. "It’s the perfect style for those who want to go shorter but want to keep some length."

7. Polished Ponytails

Sleek, polished styles are also big this winter, and Sakkas says that sculpted ponytails will be trending for party season. "Don’t pull it too tight; you want it to look modern with softness and an effortless finish," he advises. "For glass-like hair, add a few drops of hair serum or hair oil to the palms, and work this through damp hair with your fingertips to add sheen, control flyaways and add movement."
