1. Korean Air Bangs
Korean air bangs are continuing their global takeover in 2025. These delicate, wispy bangs frame the face beautifully, creating a soft and youthful look. They’re perfect for anyone wanting to add a subtle edge to their look without making a drastic change. And when we say “anyone,” we mean it—this airy style suits all face shapes and hair lengths.

2. Gentler Hairstyling
In 2025, there’s a shift happening around prioritizing hair health. One facet of this is a focus on gentler hairstyling options. Heatless hairstyles in particular are getting lots of attention, with different techniques cropping up all over social media. One of our favorites is the sock method, where hair is split straight down the center and each side is wrapped around a fuzzy sock (hey, as the weather starts to heat up, you won’t need them to keep your feet warm). This, and other heatless styles, allow you to reduce your hot tool usage and minimize heat damage.
Of course, this trend doesn’t dictate that you give up heat styling entirely. In fact, there are new tools, like L’Oréal Professionnel’s AirLight Pro, that allow you to still use heat while making the whole process gentler on your hair. The AirLight Pro is the first hair dryer augmented with infrared light that helps quickly dry the hair without damage. This technology, which combines the power of light with heat and wind, helps prevent over-drying your strands for an overall healthier-looking finish. Learn more in our article, The Airlight Pro Is Changing the Way We Style Our Hair.

3. The French Bob
Think of the French Bob as the “no-makeup makeup look” of hairstyles. The chin-grazing cut, often paired with soft, natural waves or blunt ends, gives off a chic, effortless vibe. It’s a versatile style that can be dressed up or down, making it a favorite for 2025.

4. Digital Perms
Digital perms are a must-try for those seeking low-maintenance, natural-looking waves. Originating in Korea, this technique uses digital temperature-controlled rods to create long-lasting curls or waves, giving your hair that “woke-up-like-this” perfection.

5. Mocha Mousse
In case you missed it, Mocha Mousse (Pantone 17-1230) was announced as Pantone’s 2025 Color of the Year. With rich notes reminiscent of frothy coffee, whipped chocolate, and creamy cannoli, the neutral hue is meant to symbolize indulgence and comfort. What we love most about it, however, is how the sumptuous color palette inspires a range of dimensional brunette hair looks. Immerse yourself in the sweet world of Mocha Mousse–and learn how to get the color—with our article, Mocha Mousse Hair Color: How to Try Pantone’s Delicious 2025 Hue.

6. Peptide Hair Products
In 2024, everyone was talking about peptide skincare products. And, as you might know, haircare trends tend to follow in the footsteps of skincare trends. That’s why it comes as no surprise to us that peptide hair products are among the biggest spring hair trends for 2025. Expect to see peptide-infused shampoos, conditioners, and treatments lining the shelves of your favorite beauty stores. Depending on the formula, these products can have a wide range of benefits, from anti-aging to damage repair.
Among L’Oréal’s professional brands, you’ll find peptides in L’Oréal Professionnel’s Absolut Repair Molecular line. It features a pre-treatment, shampoo, rinse-off serum, hair mask, and leave-in mask, all formulated with a patented peptide bonder.

7. Blue-Black Hair
Rich, bold, and ultra-glossy, blue-black hair is one of the top spring 2025 hair color trends. This striking shade combines deep black with subtle blue undertones, adding dimension and mystery to your look. It’s a sophisticated choice that’s flattering on various skin tones.
8. Wet Wavy Hair
The dark beauty aesthetic, dubbed the “sea witchery” trend, was one of Pinterest’s biggest predictions for the year. It’s marked by edgy looks complete with siren makeup, mermaid manicures, and—you guessed it—wet wavy hair. This textured wet style mimics the look of just-stepped-out-of-the-ocean strands. It toes the line between polished and relaxed, making it equally ideal for beach days and festivals as it is for red carpets. To get the look, spray your strands with plenty of leave-in conditioner, like Mizani 25 Miracle Milk Leave-In Conditioner.

9. High-Gloss Hair
Shiny, glass-like hair is the ultimate goal for this spring (and beyond). Achieving this look involves investing in gloss treatments, shine-enhancing serums, and proper haircare routines that hydrate and protect. But for a quick dose of shine, you can always spritz Redken Shine Flash Spray over your mane. It’s the perfect way to get glossy while you work on building a complete glass-hair regimen.

10. Retro Hair Accessories
Hair accessories inspired by the ‘80s and ’90s are back in a big way. Think chunky headbands, claw clips, and barrettes—but with a modern twist. These pieces add personality to any hairstyle, whether you’re rocking a sleek ponytail or loose waves.

11. Bouncy Blowouts
If you ask us, you can never go wrong with a bouncy blowout. This look centers around full-bodied, silky strands with soft curls or waves that exude a polished vibe. It’s especially perfect for adding a playful, luxurious feel to your spring wardrobe—no wonder it’s among the top spring 2025 hair trends.
Achieving this trend requires using the right tools, like a round brush and a powerful blow dryer, alongside volumizing products and heat protectants to maintain that airy lift. Whether worn casually or dressed up, the bouncy blowout captures the spirit of spring: light, fresh, and full of life.
12. Sustainable Haircare Products
Sustainability continues to be at the forefront of beauty, and if you haven’t already hopped on board, 2025 is your year. When you spring clean your haircare collection, consider restocking with eco-friendly products. This could mean anything from refillable bottles to biodegradable packaging. Right now, we’re loving Kérastase’s Elixir Ultime Refillable Hydrating Hair Oil—a classic formula with updated, refillable packaging.

15. Liquid Hair
Liquid hair is designated by smooth, sleek strands that cascade like a waterfall. While similar to glass hair, this trend focuses on natural movement for an extra polished look. The effect is achieved with keratin treatments, heat styling, and high-quality smoothing products to create a flowing, reflective finish.

Two-tone hair color is for the bold and adventurous. Try contrasting shades like platinum and jet black or vibrant red paired with orange. There’s really no limit to the combinations you can come up with—this trend allows for endless creativity.

18. Curtain Bangs
After starting to blow up a few years ago, curtain bangs only seem to be getting more popular, no doubt due to their versatility and low maintenance. They frame the face beautifully and highlight your best features (which is why they’re sometimes known as contouring bangs). They also pair well with various cuts, from bobs to long layers, making curtain bangs a perfect option for anyone aiming to refresh their look.

19. Textured Shags
The shag cut is getting a textured update, and it’s sure to be a favorite for anyone who loves an undone, edgy look. Pair it with curtain bangs or choppy layers for extra dimension. And don’t forget to play up your texture with a finishing spray, like Pureology Style + Protect Texture Finishing Spray. A few spritzes will add body to your hair and create texture without buildup or crunch.
20. Sculpted Baby Hairs
Styling and sculpting baby hairs isn’t anything new, but you may notice more intricate designs popping up come spring. The idea is to turn edges into works of art. This trend is particularly popular when paired with protective styles like braids or updos to add a creative flair to an everyday look. To partake in the trend, you’ll need a strong edge control product, like Mizani True Textures Sleek Holding Hair Gel.

21. Expensive Blonde
Expensive blonde isn’t just a color—it’s an aesthetic. This spring 2025 hair color trend focuses on multi-dimensional blonde tones, created with subtle highlights and lowlights for a luxurious, sun-kissed look. To replicate this look, ask your stylist about using Redken Shades EQ Gloss in 010N Delicate Natural, 09NW Cream Soda, and 09GB Butter Cream. These are the shades used on the model above! (We recommend still giving your colorist some creative control—they can help select the best shades for your coloring and desired look.)

22. The Butterfly Cut

24. Chocolate Cherry Hair Color
A number of the hottest hair colors for spring 2025 are dark, rich shades with a twist. We already spoke about blue-black hair, but there are a slew of others, including a Hair.com favorite: chocolate cherry hair color. It’s just so…delicious. The dark base color is infused with deep red and burgundy tones, putting a vibrant twist on classic brunette shades. It’s a great option for anyone who wants to add some warmth and depth to their hair color but isn’t ready to stray too far from natural-looking shades.
25. Long Curls and Waves
Last but certainly not least, long waves and curls are one of the most popular hairstyles for spring. This trend celebrates natural texture, emphasizing soft, cascading waves and voluminous curls that exude effortless beauty. Whether you’re rocking loose beachy waves or tight, defined spirals, the focus is on embracing your hair’s unique pattern. Pair this look with hydrating products to keep curls looking bouncy and frizz-free, like Matrix A Curl Can Dream Scrunch N’ Go Defining Spray for Waves and Curls.
