As we say farewell to 2024, it’s time to look ahead and embrace the bold new hair trends that are set to take over in 2025. Whether you're ready to chop off your locks or add a splash of color, this year promises to be packed with fresh styles that blend creativity, nostalgia, and versatility. From ultra-modern cuts to effortlessly chic waves, here are the game-changing hair looks you’ll be seeing everywhere in the new year.
1. The Return of the Shag: Modern and Messy
The shag haircut made a major comeback in 2024, and it’s not going anywhere in 2025. This choppy, textured cut is a perfect blend of volume and movement, making it a favorite for anyone looking to add dimension and personality to their hair. Expect to see updated shags with more defined layers, a softer finish, and playful fringe bangs. Whether worn straight or with natural curls, the shag is a versatile style for all hair types.
Oscar Oscar Stylist Tip:
“Shags should enhance your natural texture. We tailor the layers to your face shape, creating volume and movement without over-styling,” says Hayley, Salon partner at Oscar Oscar Carindale.
2. Micro Bangs: Shorter, Sharper, and Sleeker Than Ever
Micro bangs are a trend that’s been gaining momentum for a while, and in 2025, they’re set to dominate the scene. These ultra-short bangs—sometimes just a few millimeters above the eyebrows—offer a bold, edgy statement. Whether paired with a pixie cut or sleek bob, micro bangs add a level of sophistication while still maintaining that cool-girl vibe. Book you next cut here!

A major trend making waves in 2025 is the "wet look" hairstyle. This involves styling your hair as if it's just been freshly washed, creating a sleek, shiny, and glossy effect. Popular in both street style and high fashion, the wet look is the ideal way to add some edge and glam to your usual hairstyle. This can be achieved with styling gels, creams, or even oils to give your hair that "just out of the shower" vibe.
