Looking for some winter hair trends inspiration to take to your next appointment? We’ve saved you precious time scrolling by collating them all in one place, freeing you up for other important cold-weather activities like lighting candles, bulk-buying soup and shopping for cosy knits.
Hair trends, or really trends of any kind, are a funny thing. Some people are staunchly against them, preferring timeless classics over flash-in-the-pan fads, while others get a buzz from being up to date with the next big thing. “People will often say to me, ‘I don’t really follow trends’, or ask ‘if I’m not into fashion do trends still apply to me?”, explains Zoë Irwin, colouring and styling trend forecaster and Creative Director at John Frieda. “I think the thing that’s worth noting is that everybody at some point will need to replace their winter coat or buy a jumper for the season, and even if you’re not aware of trends or colour movements, you’re still influenced by them. For example, the camel that’s this season is different to the camel of previous seasons.” Following hair trends doesn’t have to mean going for a dramatic cut like a mixie (an intimidating hybrid between a mullet and a pixie haircut) and can be a subtle, almost imperceptible shift, in your hair like from liquid brunette to jet brunette – but more on that particular trend later.
