Cold weather, cozy vibes, and a whole new season of hair trends to fall in love with! This winter is all about warmth, texture, and a little main-character energy. Think plush shades, bouncy layers, statement bangs, and sparkly accessories that pull your look together like the bow on a present 🎁
Here’s everything you need to know about what’s hot for winter hair.
💋 1. Warm & Toasty Hair Colours
Say goodbye to icy tones and hello to rich, sun-kissed warmth! Winter 2025/26 is all about colours that make your complexion glow even on the frostiest days.
Trending shades you’ll see everywhere:
💖 Mocha brunette – smooth, dimensional, and seriously luxe.
🔥 Cowboy copper – a little spicy, a little sultry, and totally high-impact.
🍯 Golden honey blonde – that soft, radiant tone that looks incredible in candlelight.
☕ Cinnamon bronde – the ultimate “I just got back from a ski chalet” colour.
Pro tip: Ask your stylist for a gloss or toner with a warm undertone to bring that cozy light to your hair. And if you’re going red or copper, use a colour-protecting shampoo! Those shades are show-stoppers, but they love to fade fast!
🌸 2. Shaggy, Lived-In Layers
The modern shag is still going strong!
Picture this: bouncy movement, wispy ends, effortless volume… that “I woke up like this” energy that somehow looks amazing under a beanie.
Why everyone loves it:
✨ Adds texture and life to winter-weighed-down hair
💃 Works with natural waves or a curling wand
💇♀️ Looks good messy (aka, hat hair becomes part of the look!)
If your hair is thicker, shags help remove weight while keeping shape. For fine hair, a lighter version adds just enough oomph without feeling choppy.
Styling hack: Flip your head upside down and spritz a dry texture spray at the roots for instant movement and volume. You’re welcome 💁♀️
💘 3. Full Bangs Are Back (and Better Than Ever)
It’s official: the bang era is upon us! From curtain to blunt, this winter’s fringe game is strong and seriously chic.
Full bangs frame your face beautifully, especially when your cheeks are dusted with that winter flush ❄️
The trending styles:
🎀 Blunt, thick bangs for bold energy
🌬️ Wispy “French girl” bangs with soft ends
💫 Curtain bangs that melt into layers for effortless glam
Why we love them:
They make any haircut feel fashion-forward, and they peek out perfectly from under a cozy toque or headband. Just remember, bangs are high-maintenance babes. Book mini trims every 4–6 weeks to keep them fresh and flirty.
Pro tip: Blow-dry your fringe with a round brush and a little tension, then set it with cool air to avoid flat-forehead moments.
🎀 4. Hair Accessories That Steal the Show
If your outfit’s giving “quiet luxury,” your hair accessories can bring the sparkle ✨
This winter, we’re seeing everything from pearls to metallic clips to bow moments worthy of a selfie. Accessories are no longer just functional — they’re fashion.
Trend spotlight:
💎 Chunky metallic barrettes that double as jewelry
🎁 Satin bows (yes, they’re back, and we’re obsessed)
🌟 Statement hair pins and ponytail cuffs
🖤 Visible bobby pins styled in criss-cross patterns
These little details can totally transform your vibe! They’re perfect for holiday parties or just romanticizing your morning coffee run.
Stylist tip: Match your accessory tone (gold/silver/pearl) to your jewelry for a cohesive finish. It’s giving effortless elegance meets cozy glamour.
💿 5. The 90’s Blowout Revival — Big, Bouncy, and Totally Babe Energy
The 90’s supermodel era is officially back, and we’re living for it! Think: volume, movement, and that perfectly polished “just stepped out of a photoshoot” hair.
This trend is giving Rachel Green meets Cindy Crawford, but with a 2025 twist — shinier, smoother, and a little more undone (because who has time for a full roller set every morning?).
What’s trending:
💁♀️ Layers that frame the face and add bounce at every turn
💨 Big round-brush blowouts that scream luxury
💋 Flipped ends, swoopy side parts, and “rich girl” gloss
Why we’re obsessed:
Because nothing nothing says “put together” like a fluffy, bouncy blowout. It pairs perfectly with winter knits, red lipstick, and your favourite oversized scarf.
Styling secrets:
✨ Use a large barrel brush (or hot rollers!) to create that swoopy shape.
✨ Blow-dry with a volumizing mousse and lock it in with a lightweight shine spray.
✨ Flip your hair upside down for a final zhuzh — instant supermodel lift!
The vibe:
It’s polished yet playful. Effortless yet expensive. The 90’s blowout is that “I woke up like this… but also booked a gloss and a trim” kind of energy 😘
💫 Your Winter Hair Moodboard
✨ Warm mocha or copper tones
✨ A soft shag with movement
✨ Full bangs or curtain fringe
✨ One killer accessory to tie it all together
Imagine it: your hair catching the winter light, your bangs framing your eyes, and a pearl barrette sparkling under your scarf. That’s the Winter 2025/26 vibe! Cozy, confident, and undeniably pretty.
💕 Final Thoughts
Winter is the season for transformation! A little refresh, a little shimmer, and a lot of self-love. So whether you’re booking a colour session, trying a new cut, or just adding a cute clip, let your hair be your favourite accessory this season.
Hot cocoa in hand, glossy curls in motion, and bangs that say I’ve arrived. 🩶
