With party season fast approaching, choosing the right hairstyle can be just as important as the outfit itself. Experts have shared the top five trends for 2025, from glass hair to sculpted updos.
Cos Sakkas, TONI&GUY's Global Creative Director, says: 'Christmas is the perfect time to try something new and elevate your everyday style. Party season hair doesn’t have to be dramatic; it can be a subtle nod to the latest trends.'
Inanch Emir, Hair Extensionist of the Year, adds: 'This year, it’s all about glamour with a modern twist. Think luxe blowouts with lots of shine, soft Hollywood waves and high-gloss ponytails.' She also notes the popularity of sleek updos with sparkly accessories.
Celebrities like Zendaya, Dua Lipa and Jennifer Lopez are key inspirations. 'Zendaya can carry off anything from sleek buns to voluminous waves,' says Inanch. 'Dua Lipa’s bold but wearable styles give you confidence.'
For those with short hair, the 1920s finger wave bob is making a comeback, inspired by Serena Williams at the 2025 Met Gala. Ricky Forrest from Blue Tit Peckham says: 'It’s that perfect mix of nostalgia and edge – glamorous, but still really wearable.'
Sculpted updos remain a favourite, with face-framing pieces and big earrings for a festive touch. As one expert notes: 'An updo with volume is a classic for the holidays.'
