Summer Hair Trend Predictions for 2025

A person with straight, dark chin-length hair turns their head, causing their hair to fan out—a fresh look inspired by summer hairstyles. They are wearing a rust-coloured jacket over a white shirt, set against a pink background.
Get ahead of the curve with the styles set to sizzle this season. Whether you're booking a holiday, planning festival looks, or just craving a change, 2025 is bringing bold, carefree vibes with a twist of timeless glamour. From low-effort texture to statement cuts, this year’s summer trends are all about personal expression, playful shape and sun-kissed confidence.

Not sure where to start? We’ve rounded up four hair trends we predict will be everywhere this summer—so you can plan your next salon visit with style.

 

The Blunt Micro Bob: Small Cut, Big Statement
Thinking of braving the chop? Now is the time to do it. A short, blunt bob is going to be all the rage this year and we can’t wait. There’s something instantly put-together about this cut. Even when worn tousled or air-dried, it gives off that ‘editor off-duty’ energy. Wear it sleek and glossy, tuck it behind the ears for a Parisian vibe, or ruffle it up for a textured, undone finish.

Why we love it:

  • Low on length, high on impact.

  •  Look instantly put-together about this cut. 

  • Versatility in styling.

  • Hit reset in the best way.

 

The Shag is Back
An oldie but a goodie, this voluminous cut is about to have a comeback for summer. Messy in the best way. The shag haircut is the rebellious rockstar of the hair world—and it’s making a big, bold comeback. With its choppy layers, undone texture and lived-in fringe, the shag is all about movement, personality and not taking your hair too seriously. Think 70s cool meets modern edge, with a touch of “I woke up like this” thrown in for good measure.

Style it like a pro:

  • Scrunch in a curl cream or texturising spray for that perfectly messy finish
  • Air-dry or diffuse for natural bounce and body

  • Face-framing volume that softens and lifts

  • Play with fringe shape—go full, wispy or part it down the middle

 

The Audrey Fringe: A Classic Cut That Never Goes Out of Style
Inspired by none other than Audrey Hepburn. Timeless, feminine, and effortlessly elegant—the Audrey fringe is the kind of detail that transforms a hairstyle from simple to iconic. Unlike a full fringe, the Audrey style grows out gracefully and is easy to style if you want to sweep it aside or pin it back.

Key features:

  • A delicate length that highlights the eyes

  • A soft, wispy texture (no blocky, heavy lines here)

  • That signature Parisian polish with just a hint of playfulness

 

The Flicky Bob: Classic Bob, with a Twist (Literally)
Flicky bobs really dominated the Oscars this year. Whether it’s freshly damp from a dip in the pool or courtesy of the slick stick, this style is pretty low-maintenance compared with other bobs on our radar. 

You’ll often see it paired with:

  • A centre or deep side parting

  • Smooth, shiny lengths with bouncy ends

  • Face-framing volume that softens and lifts

One thing all soft glam looks have in common is healthy-looking hair. Shine, smoothness and softness all play a major role in creating that understated luxury finish that feels polished without looking overdone. Before major events, we often recommend gloss and shine treatments, hydration-focused hair masks, smoothing treatments for frizz control and precision trims to keep the ends looking fresh and healthy. These smaller treatments can make a significant difference to the overall result, helping hair look more refined while also improving how well the style lasts throughout the event.
