2025 Hair Trends
At Blue Tit London, we’re always a step ahead when it comes to hair. Our talented stylists have been hard at work forecasting the hottest hair trends for 2025. Looking for new inspiration? Here are sixteen fresh trends straight out of London…
Haircut Trends
Side Partings
Swaying to the side is back and fresher than ever. Inspired by early 2000s fashion, today’s side fringes bring a modern twist to the classic look. Think Beabadoobee’s soft side-part fringe or Christina Aguilera’s bold, root-volumized side parts. This trend screams effortless cool and works wonders for any face shape.
What Our Stylists Say:
Bec Choice, Blue Tit Leyton: “It’s a softer take on the iconic styles of the early 00s, perfect for the younger generation rediscovering this era.”
Long Pixie
Say hello to the long pixie — the perfect blend of chic and easy-going. This grown-out pixie exudes laid-back charm, offering a short bob feel with endless styling options.
What our Stylists say:
Reece Wentworth at Blue Tit Clapton says, “Combining a sharp pixie with a mullet adds a rebellious punk-inspired look (see image above). Minimal styling keeps it effortless”
Tom Warr, Academy and Creative Director at Blue Tit, adds: “The long pixie is undone and effortless with a loose texture that’s easy to style. Think musician and model Bec Lauder rocking the look effortlessly.”
Evolving the Shag Cut – the ‘Not a Shag’
This one’s for those who love layers without going full ‘shag.’ It’s all about long, layered cuts with shorter, subtle bang pieces for a softer, timeless vibe.
Swinging 60s Inspiration – The Fringe
Encompassing the whole decade from mod to rockers with voluminous styles too, think pixie cuts, and soft, face-framing fringes. Add texture to your bob for that “plush and fluffy” look that’s irresistibly playful.
What Our Stylists Say:
Kamila Pruszek, Blue Tit Portobello: “It’s all about movement and charm, enhancing your natural features beautifully with a well-cut fringe.”
This bold cut is taken right down for structure, while the soft perimeter frames the face beautifully.
Reece Wentworth says, “Heavy texture gives this cut a grown out mod vibe, Add some product into damp hair to give it that lived in finish.”
Styling Trends: Turning Heads in 2025
Braids Are Back
After years of subtlety, intricate braiding is making a fierce return. Bold, statement-making braids will dominate both casual and formal looks this year. Think eye-catching updos or everyday styles that demand attention.
What Our Stylist Says:
Bec Choice from Blue Tit Leyton predicts: “Braids will be everywhere in 2025, showcasing stunning techniques and creativity.”
2025 Afro & Textured Hair Trends
Modern Pixies & TWAs
Short hair, don’t care: big style in small packages is a key trend this 2025.
What Our Stylists Say:
“Shorter cuts, like pixies with textured tops… offer volume and slicked fun edges”
Then if you dare to go shorter the beautiful versatility of TWAs (Teeny Weeny Afro) is going to be huge this year.
Face Framing with Layers
Layered hairstyles are making a strong comeback, adding volume and movement to natural hair. Whether short or long, layers can frame the face beautifully and provide a fresh, modern look. This trend includes styles like the wolf cut and curtain bangs, adapted for curly and coily textures.
What Our Stylists Say:
Pashcan’el Mitchell states, “I’m seeing a lot of fringe styles that are easy-going and textured — such as boho-inspired bangs or curtain fringes. They complement curly, weave and straight hair framing the face.”
Embracing Natural Textures
“The movement towards natural hair continues to gain momentum, with many opting to showcase their curls, coils, and kinks. Styles like afros, twist-outs, and wash-and-go looks are popular, emphasizing the beauty of natural hair. Maintaining moisture and using products that enhance curl definition are key to achieving these looks.”
Pashcan’el Mitchell, Afro & Textured Hair Specialist at Blue Tit London.
Protective Styles with a Twist
Protective hairstyles remain a staple, with innovative variations gaining popularity:
- Boho Braids: Inspired by ’70s fashion, boho braids offer a relaxed yet chic appearance, often incorporating loose extensions for added texture.
- Butterfly Locs: A softer, more textured version of faux locs, providing a carefree and stylish look.
- Kinky Twists: These add volume and texture while protecting natural hair, offering a versatile styling option.
Bold Hair Colours
Experimenting with vibrant hair colours is a significant trend. You’ll see lots of warm browns and blondes from shades like honey blonde and rich burgundy complementing natural textures and adding dimension to curls.
Retro-Inspired Looks
Styles from past decades are being reimagined with modern twists.
Think old Hollywood bobs: This chin-length haircut with voluminous curls has been popularized by celebrities and offers a timeless elegance.
2025 Colouring Trends
There’s nothing quite like a new colour. Whether you’re craving subtle warmth, rich depth, or bold vibrancy, these shades are all about multidimensional beauty and timeless sophistication.

The go to this year will be golden-toned blonde. This is replacing the cooler shades of last summer offering a warm hue that adds depth and richness.

Coppers are here to stay, but for 2025, they’ve taken on a more sophisticated twist with Crimson Spice. This cooler, more refined version of cowboy copper is perfect for redheads looking to refresh their colour. Vibrant yet polished, Crimson Spice combines warmth with dramatic depth, making it the ideal shade for winter and autumn. Inspired by celebrities like Chappell Roan and Rihanna’s taking us back to her loud era.
Cherry Cola
Cherry Cola reds are another standout trend for 2025, blending rich, deep red hues with a touch of dark cherry undertones for a velvety, dramatic finish. These darker, moodier tones are the perfect evolution of classic reds, offering a bold yet wearable look. Inspired by Dua lipa and her striking, sultry color choices, this shade is ideal for anyone looking to embrace a red hue this season but still keeping it chic.
