Hair trends are constantly changing, which makes trying a trendy new winter haircut or dramatic color exciting—and a little nerve-racking. The Look Du Jour switches up year to year, season to season, and even faster on a micro-trend level. Last year saw waves of sleek updos, warm tones, choppy bobs, laid-back shags, and a renaissance of throwback styles from decades long gone. The 2025 hair trends are a marked rebellion.
The fatigue of constant changes in styling, cut, and color is sinking in, explains Rogerio Cavalcante, master stylist and founder of The Second Floor Salon. "There’s a growing shift toward embracing softer, more romantic styles, and long, flowing hair fits right in," he tells Marie Claire. "After years of bobs, lobs, and pixie cuts dominating, many crave the versatility and drama of long hair."
This year, long, luscious (healthy) locks, minimalist highlights, and some fresh takes on embracing your natural texture are coming to the forefront. Bob grow outs are getting a French, lived-in twist and you can expect to see gray hair appear on the red carpet.
