Ghost waves are the relaxed and 'undone' style we'll be seeing everywhere this spring

Keira Knightley is pictured with a softly waved bob hairstyle at the "Black Doves" Season One World Premiere at the BFI Southbank on December 03, 2024 in London, England/ in a beige to grey sunset-style template.

While last year's trends seemed to oscillate between bouncy Hollywood curls and ultra-sleek styles, this season offers some middle ground in the form of softly textured 'Ghost Waves.'

Say goodbye to high-maintenance looks and arduous styling, as the 2025 hair trends are signalling a shift towards simplicity; with minimalistic colours, bold cuts styled subtly (like the soft bell-bottom bob, for instance) and embracing natural textures all topping the list. Ghost waves are one such example of said shift, with their gentle S-shaped movement and perfectly undone feel. You can already see them gracing the red carpet and according to top hairstylist and trendforecaster, Tom Smith, their rise will continue long into spring.
