The start of a new school year is the perfect time to experiment with fresh hairstyles and express individuality. Whether you’re in middle school, high school, or college, there’s a trend to suit every taste and hair type in 2025. Here are some of the hottest back-to-school hair trends we’re loving right now:
1. Textured Shags: Effortless Cool
The shag haircut is making a significant comeback, offering a messy, layered look with plenty of texture. This style works wonderfully with natural waves or can be styled with texturizing sprays for a tousled, lived-in feel.
2. The Modern Bob: Blunt & Bold
A modern take on the classic 90s bob is gaining popularity, featuring blunt cuts, flipped-out ends, or even micro-bangs for a nostalgic yet contemporary look. The jawline bob, with its sharp, sculpted edges, is also a coveted style, highlighting facial features and offering versatility for various hair textures.
3. Embrace Your Natural Texture
- Celebrating natural hair textures and styles continues to be a major trend in 2025. Teenagers are embracing their curls and coils, opting for styles that enhance their natural texture through twists or braids. Cropped curls are also a great way to refresh a curly girl aesthetic, enhancing natural texture and defining curl shape. Young men can opt for a Textured Crop, a short-on-the-sides and longer-on-top style emphasizing natural texture and volume, perfect for embracing natural waves or curls.
4. Side Parts Reign Supreme
Side parts are making a huge comeback, adding volume, movement, and a touch of drama to any hairstyle. They are incredibly versatile and can be paired with a variety of styles, from sleek blowouts to textured bobs.
5. Accessorize with Flair
Hair accessories are a fun and easy way to express your style and elevate your back-to-school looks. Think retro headbands, velvet bows, oversized scrunchies, and jeweled hair clips. You can even try hair tinsel for a playful, festive touch without a long-term commitment.
