I don’t know about you, but the moment the sun comes out and the weather warms up, I feel an irresistible urge to chop off my dry, winter-worn hair, commit to a fresh new cut, and elevate it with new styles and accessories. There’s just something about spring that makes everything feel fresh—especially hair looks.
As a beauty editor, I’ve been gathering inspo from red carpets, celebrities, and Fashion Month. And lemme tell you, this season’s trends are a mix of effortlessly chic (think sculptural buns) and statement-making cuts (hi, jellyfish hair). To get the inside scoop, I even spoke with two celebrity hairstylists about the best spring 2025 hair trends, below!

Voluminous Loose Curls for Spring 2025
If this Doechii Paris Fashion Week look is living rent-free in your mind like it is in mine, then it’s time to recreate her gorgeous blowout. All you need is a hair tool that will provide some big curls like the Wavytalk Thermal Brush or the Dyson Airwrap. And the key to sky-high volume will be a styling product like the Nexxus Cloud Foam or K18 Airlift Spray.
Blunt Bobs for Spring 2025
It's no secret that bobs are everywhere lately, and I've been loving the blunt version that Kendall Jenner pulled off at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party. The short cut looks so chic without looking overly choppy. Celeb hairstylist Clariss Anya Rubenstein is a fan of the look too. "I'm loving a French bob for spring, there's nothing better than a look with a super chic bob that starts at the nape of the neck."
Oversized Headbands for Spring 2025
A thick, chunky headband can take any hair look from 0 to 100 with literally zero effort. They make a bold statement and can subtly enhance your hair's natural volume. Depending on your vibe, you can get a pack of classic neutrals on Amazon for less than $10—or opt for something bolder and brighter with a cute pattern.
Slicked-Back Braids for Spring 2025
There's nothing I love more than a sleek updo when the weather gets warm, and this snatched braid is so easy to DIY. Simply use a boar bristle brush and your favorite hair wax stick to create a smooth finish. Then just braid down the ponytail and you'll look like Ms. Zoe Kravitz in no time.<3
Face-Framing Bangs for Spring 2025
This combo of bang and angles (let's call them bangles?!) will be the next cut inspo that I bring to my hairstylist. They're perf for framing your face and will make your hair look put together even on the days when you don't feel like styling or adding heat.
Bold Buns for Spring 2025
The Oscars were filled with soooo many bun moments (Margaret and Ariana to name a few) and its a spring-favorite look of professional hairstylist Gabbi Jeanne. "I love a cool bun, something different than the classic ballerina style," she says. "Adding some spikes, twisting up the hair, or doing anything to make it sleek yet unique."
Warm Blonde for Spring 2025
Tired of the damage and upkeep that comes with being a bright blonde? Try opting for a honey-esque hue at your next salon appointment. "Blondes were afraid to be brassy so they went so bright," says Jeanne. "But now I'm seeing a warmer golden blonde, highlights, and balayage." Rubenstein is also a fan of rich, light, and golden tones for spring,
Oversized Accesories for Spring 2025
I'm a sucker for a hair accessory, and Dua's oversized bow at the Chanel is everything to me. Get the look with a fun bow from Sandy Liang or go for some hair hardware with a giant pony cuff from Lelet NY.
Half-Up Half-Down for Spring 2025
A half-up half-down look is so easy to wear, and leaving out some front pieces makes it intentionally effortless. I love how Tyla wore some barrettes throughout and kept the bun slightly messy and soft. I *will* be wearing this on the days I don't feel like sculpting my hair into a full high ponytail.
The Jellyfish Cut for Spring 2025
Okay I saved the most controversial for last. You can't deny that the Jellyfish hair trend isn't the hottest look among celebs right now. Miley, Billie, and Lady Gaga all were sporting the cut at the Grammys. Get the choppy look with a chin-length bob that cascades into blunt layers.
