<\/figure>\n\n\n\n(Image credit: @joannacoops<\/a>; @amaka.hamelijnck<\/a>; @nnennaechem<\/a>;\u2002<\/a>@ingridedvinsen<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jump to category:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n By Kaitlyn McLintock<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n last updated 4 weeks ago<\/p>\n\n\n\n inFeatures<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n As a beauty editor<\/u><\/a>, I sometimes get the urge to change things up with my appearance. Usually, it’s something simple like setting the intention to wear more press-on nails<\/u><\/a> during a certain season or get more creative with my eye shadow<\/u><\/a>. But almost every time I’m due for a quarterly haircut, I get tempted to make a more drastic change. Something about going in for a trim feels like a greater opportunity to really mix things up and try something new. Truthfully, I rarely end up acting on my hair-related impulses, but I still love taking the time to see what’s trending. You know, just in case<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Whether you’re still deciding what trends you want to take part in or just like to “window shop” to see the hottest hairstyles<\/u><\/a>, you’re in luck. Read on to see the 20 top 2025 hair trends, according to stylists. From copper to “expensive espresso,” keep scrolling to get all the inspo you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n (Image credit: @tessamaethompson<\/u><\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Olivia Thompson<\/u><\/a> is a Joico blonde specialist, and she says that copper is having a moment again. Yep\u2014that’s right. What was formerly known as “cowboy copper” is going to take on a fresh, new look in 2025. “From soft apricot to burnished auburn, these shades highlight individuality.” She says copper is a bold yet wearable color that works beautifully across a range of skin tones<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Joico Artistic Director Larisa Love<\/u><\/a> agrees that the copper trend will have a resurgence in 2025. “From bold auburn to softer shades, copper will be in demand. These colors give a fresh and bold look, helping individuals stand out and make a statement,” she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jennifer Thomas<\/u><\/a>, an L.A.-based artist and SH-RD ambassador, agrees, adding that the trendiest way to wear the fiery color will be slightly different than in years past. This time around, it’s all about copper shades that have a brown undertone. “Think cinnamon and rust,” she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n (Image credit: @ingridedvinsen<\/u><\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Calling all brunettes (or anyone who wants to be!): The experts say “expensive espresso” will be the dark, rich, and sophisticated color of the year. “Deep, glossy chocolate and espresso tones are still trending, now with subtle dimension,” Thompson says. “Think soft balayage or lowlights that catch the light just right.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n Joico Senior Global Artistic Director Richard Mannah<\/u><\/a> agrees. He says rich, glossy espresso shades will remain popular for their sophistication and ability to enhance natural features. “These shades are ideal for those seeking classic, polished styles with minimal upkeep,” he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Celebrity hairstylist Dimitris Giannetos<\/u><\/a> says espresso shades are a classic for a reason. “I think it will remain strong in 2025. I love a sleek, glossy, cool-toned dark brown. It’s so dramatic and stunning and really gives off a polished look.” I couldn’t agree more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n (Image credit: @hoskelsa<\/u><\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n On the lighter side of things, expect to see rich, warm, champagne shades of hair take over. “Picture creamy champagne tones with diffused roots,” Thompson says. “It’s giving, ‘I just got back from my villa in the South of France.’ This blonde isn’t loud but it is undeniably luxurious. It’s about looking rich without trying too hard.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Mannah agrees that warm, honey blonde is the way to wear light-colored hair in 2025. “Warm tones like honey blonde and caramel are expected to dominate, bringing a natural, sun-kissed glow that complements all skin tones,” he says. “These shades create dimension and softness, making hair look healthy and vibrant. They align with the growing desire for low-maintenance, wearable color.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n (Image credit: @jlo<\/u><\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Speaking of low-maintenance color, Giannetos says this trend is perfect “for people who want to be blonde but are looking for something that’s a little lower maintenance and less damaging to the hair.” Since it sits somewhere between brown and blonde, your colorist can adapt it to be either warmer or cooler to complement your specific skin tone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I love the bronde trend. In fact, I’ve been wearing bronde hair for years now. It looks natural as it grows out, which means I only need to return to the salon for a refresh every four to six months or so. It truly is a low-maintenance (yet on-trend!) color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n (Image credit: @khloekardashian<\/u><\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gone are the days of bold, bright pinks, blues, and greens. This year, it’s all about softer and subtler takes on these colors. “Pink, lavender, and mint are shifting from bold, bright shades to more subdued, wearable ones,” Mannah says. “This trend reflects the influence of individuality and self-expression, offering a way to infuse personality into a look without being overly bold.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n Love says soft, pastel pink will be especially popular in 2025: “It’s a playful color that offers a fun way to express individuality without being overly bold.” Consider this as your sign to try an unexpected color this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n (Image credit: @ciara<\/u><\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Every year, a new Pantone Color of the Year<\/u><\/a> is announced, and this time around, it’s Mocha Mousse. The brand describes it as “a warming, brown hue imbued with richness.” So think hair tones that reflect your favorite sweet treats like chocolate and brownies. The richness will make your skin tone stand out, creating a more noticeable contrast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n (Image credit: @dimitrishair<\/u><\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n In 2025, Giannetos recommends embracing the so-called “Prada<\/u><\/a> bob<\/u><\/a>,” and yes, it’s as chic and high-fashion as it sounds. “This year, I think we’ll see a lot more short bobs, like the Prada bob,” he says. “It’s effortlessly chic and low-maintenance for everyday styling. Plus, it can work on any hair type<\/u><\/a>. The Prada bob is a blunt cut that swoops inward and gives an asymmetric look with the side part. Last year, I styled Joey King and Meredith Duxbury with this look. I absolutely love this cut!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n (Image credit: @lefevrediary<\/u><\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n The French bob has had a hold on me for years. Even though I love my long hair, I regularly consider cutting it into this chic, timeless look. Thompson says 2025 is offering me another opportunity to embrace it, albeit in an updated way. “This isn’t your stiff, textbook bob,” she says. “The updated version is soft, airy, and slightly undone. It’s perfect for anyone wanting a face-framing cut that feels fresh and elevated.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mannah agrees, saying, “The French bob\u2014characterized by its jaw-length cut and fringe sitting just above the eyebrows\u2014will continue to gain popularity for its effortless, chic aesthetic. This universally flattering, low-maintenance style aligns with the trend toward individuality and boldness.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n (Image credit: @dimitrishair<\/u><\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n As a longtime loyalist to curtain bangs, I couldn’t be more delighted that the experts are affirming their 2025 trendiness. “Curtain bangs<\/u><\/a> are a great fringe style if you want to transition your look,” Giannetos says. “This look has been popular throughout the fall<\/u><\/a>, and I expect it will continue into 2025. The look is not too blunt, very sophisticated, and nicely frames the face.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n (Image credit: @ellabalinska<\/u><\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Speaking of curtain bangs, why not incorporate them into a Stevie Nicks\u2013inspired look? Yep, the experts say a return to the ’70s-inspired shag is imminent. Take it from Thompson, who says curtain bangs are here to stay: “Textured layers and retro coolness define this cut, available in both long and short versions. Bonus: It looks great when air-dried, making it ideal for clients on the go.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mannah agrees, adding that the texture and movement a shag offers is unmatched. “This updated ’70s-inspired cut works across various hair types and lengths, making it a versatile option for those wanting a balance of structure and touchable texture.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n (Image credit:\u2002<\/u><\/a>@tyla<\/u><\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n In case you missed it, celebrities are taking the leap and sporting pixie cuts everywhere. Tyla showed off her big chop back in January, and now other A-listers are joining in. Most recently, Zendaya<\/u><\/a> was spotted rocking the short cut for a new campaign with sports brand On. If you’re tempted to try it, know that this edgy cut will bring out your bone structure and allow people to see more of your face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n (Image credit: @joannacoop<\/u><\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Don’t expect to see expensive-looking blowouts leaving your For You page in 2025. “Think voluminous, bouncy hair that moves effortlessly,” Thompson says. “It’s about shiny, touchable texture. Less like, ‘I just left the salon,’ and more like, ‘I wake up fabulous every day.’ This look is versatile and works well when styled sleek or tousled.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n (Image credit: @alexevansphotography<\/u><\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n “For events and special occasions, I think we’ll see more of a resurgence of Old Hollywood glamour,” Giannetos says. “Old Hollywood waves are so elegant and timeless. And this style can really elevate and tie together any formal look. As a hairstylist, I love it when my clients apply a modern take on classic looks. I just styled Kate Beckinsale with an Audrey Hepburn\u2013inspired updo. I love this Breakfast at Tiffany’s<\/em>\u2013inspired pony with face-framing pieces!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n (Image credit: @meganadelaide<\/u><\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n It might seem counterintuitive to the very polished trends listed above (and it kind of is), but the experts say we’ll also see soft, relaxed, and undone<\/em> looks in the form of natural, beachy strands. “Soft, messy waves and lived-in texture will continue to be popular for their relaxed, effortless appeal,” Mannah says. “This style embraces natural beauty and easy, everyday elegance. It can be worn softly around the face for a casual look or styled back for a bold, confident finish.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n “Beachy waves are here to stay,” Thompson affirms. “It’s the tousled, cool-girl hair that always looks laid-back and Instagram-worthy.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n (Image credit: @amaka.hamelijnck<\/u><\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have curly or coily hair, the experts want you to show it off and embrace your natural texture. Thomas says 2025 is all about showing off the “health and shine” of your natural hair<\/u><\/a>. It’s “as sexy as you can get in 2025.” Enough said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n (Image credit: @mobinapeiman<\/u><\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Al Campbell<\/u><\/a> is a Chicago-based stylist and Mizani artist. He says updos\u2014particularly the iconic French roll\u2014will be trending for 2025. “Given the fact that hair color and haircuts are transitioning to a space for more flexibility, it’s almost a given that updos are going to be on the rise again,” he says. “With flexibility being the foundation in the industry right now, updos are an easy way to transition a look without overcommitting. One, in particular, is the French roll. It has been elevated and is taking the industry by storm in 2025.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n (Image credit: @tia_dewitt<\/u><\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Have you ever heard the saying, “Accessories make an outfit?” Well, this year, the experts say they’ll “make” a hairstyle, too. “Accessories like headbands and French barrettes in bold colors or metallic finishes will remain in style, offering a nostalgic way to elevate simple hairstyles,” Mannah says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
