Trust Me—These 5 Winter Hair Trends Are About to Be Everywhere (2024)

Winter is almost here, and every year I decide that I want to drastically change my hair for the new season. I've done it all, from cutting it all off into ashort bob to dying my brunette locks bleach blonde, but this year I'm at a loss with what to do for the colder months. As a beauty editor, I'm lucky enough to know lots of people that work in the hair industry, so I thought it made sense to reach out to the experts to find out whathair trends will be everywhere this winter, and get some much-needed inspiration for my next visit to the salon.

I reached out toSamantha Cusick, founder of Samantha Cusick London and Stā Studios, and Jordanna Cobella, colour and trends ambassador for Wella Hair and creative director of Cobella Salon, and after talking to them, I'm struggling to decide whichtrend is my favourite. From rich, glossy shades to short, boxy cuts, there's something for all of us, so keep on scrolling for your ultimate guide to the biggest winter hair trends of 2023. I'm warning you, you're probably going to want to book an appointment straight after reading this. In fact, I've got mine next week…

1. The Boxy Bob

"This hairstyle is highly requested in the salon right now, and we’re even seeing celebrities braving the chop—Hailey Bieber being amongst my favourites to wear the perfect chin-skimming bob," says Cusick. "These boxy bobs will be worn with that 'undone' look this winter, for the epitome of cool-girl chic."

I'm personally a big fan of this hairstyle, and I love the fact that people are favouring a more undone look, as it makes styling your hair a whole lot easier.

Shop the Trend:

Ouai

Finishing Crème

To add that tousled kind of texture, try a finishing cream like this one from Ouai.

Hair by Sam McKnight

Cool Girl Barely There Texture Mist

Another way to get that tousled look is with a texture mist, and I'm loving this Sam McKnight one.

Larry King Hair

Velvet Texture Clay

If spray productsaren't your thing, try this texture clay from Larry King instead.

2. Cinnamon Bronde

"Ourinfatuation withcowgirl copper is crossing over into the winter months," explains Cusick. "Cinnamon bronde is a fusion of warm, reddish-brown and strawberry-blonde shades. This blend creates a rich, multidimensional hair colour reminiscent of autumn hues. Think sophisticated yet vibrant."

3. Wispy Bangs

"Wispy bangs are back, but in an elevated way compared to those '90s wisps," says Cusick. "Think soft, forehead-framing pieces that border on curtain bangs."

If you have a full fringe, don't fear, as you can still give this wispy style a go. Keep the side of your fringe a little longer to give that curtain-bang effect.

Shop the Trend:

Drybar

The Double Shot Blow-Dryer Brush

To get those perfectly styled face-framing pieces, use a blowdry brush and work from roots to ends for volume and bounce.

Living Proof

Perfect Hair Day 5-In-1 Styling Treatment

Add asmall amount of styling cream for a polished finish.

4.Midi-Brown Gloss

"This winter is all about embracing natural mid-browns and earthy, nature-inspired brunette shades," explains Cusick. "This colour offers an easy choice, steering clear of high-maintenance highlights and deep hues. I like to fine-tune each client's colour formula to match their natural hair level."

In my opinion, this hair colour looks so chic and expensive.
