We’ve been catching up with two of our senior stylists at Blue Tit London to get the lowdown on textured hair trends and inspiration for 2025 – and trust us, they’ve pulled through with some seriously next-level looks. It’s giving effortless cool, it’s giving main character energy…
Celebrating the Versatility of Afro-Textured Hair by Michael Kent Blue Tit Brixton
In this collection from February 2025, Michael Kent wanted to explore the transformative nature of afro and textured hair by working with, rather than against the natural texture. The catalyst for this was the theme of metamorphosis.
Each style showcases the hair’s natural beauty while illustrating its remarkable adaptability.
The series features an array of techniques, including intricate braids, elegant twists, and playful bubble braids, all of which work in harmony with the hair’s natural texture. Hopefully, you find them inspiring.
Each hairstyle represents a stage in this metamorphosis, celebrating the journey of self-expression and cultural pride through the art of hair styling.
Pashcan’el Mitchell Senior Stylist from Blue Tit Clapton puts forward his key textured hair trends for 2025
There’s a broader cultural shift towards valuing natural hair in all its forms, paired with a focus on ease, personalisation, and embracing your unique texture.
2025 is about embracing cuts that prioritise natural texture and versatility – we are really here for it!
Lived-in Natural Waves & Relaxed Textures
Natural-looking, effortless waves aren’t going anywhere and are ever popular, providing a laid-back vibe that’s stylish.
Pashcan adds. “We like adding more structure in the shape of your cut for a modern form of Afro.”
Short Hair, Don’t Care
“Shorter cuts, like pixies with textured tops… offer volume and slicked fun edges” says Pashcan’el Mitchell.
Big style in short packages is a key trend from TWAs to grown-out pixies and short-as-you-dare styles with texture.
The Fringe Has It
Pash also states, “I’m seeing a lot of fringe styles that are easy-going and textured… They complement curly, weave and straight hair framing the face.”
We were inspired and created these strong looks with beaded pieces – seriously next-level. Just wow.
Protective Styles
Protective hairstyles continue to be a mainstay. From intricate to jumbo braids, twists and classic Bantu knots there’s some innovative variations gaining popularity. Cornrows, feed in braids and Bantu knots give you a chance to look snatched while protecting your hair. What’s not to love?
Bantu knots work whether you’re rocking them as a standalone look or unravelling them for juicy, defined curls, they’re are easy, versatile and iconic.
Hopefully, our textured hair looks have inspired you. If you want to chat about your hair journey or have a particular look in mind, get in touch, we’d love to see you in one of our salons.
