We don’t want to jinx it, but it seems like summer (with actual sunshine) has finally arrived! Once you’ve slathered on the SPF and decided on your summer nails, it’s time to pick from the incoming summer hair trends.

Unsurprisingly, bobs are back (did they ever leave?), in the form of the Pageboy and Riviera – effortless styles that are perfect for comfort and ease in the stifling heat. Bored of bobs? There’s an even shorter style that might tickle your fancy instead. Meanwhile, in hair colour trends, bold and brash colours have been switched out for more muted tones that come to life in the sun.

Here are 11 summer hair trends for 2025 that are set to define the season.

Ghost Blonde

Like no-makeup makeup for your hair, ghost blonde is the subtle hair colour trend that we’ve already been seeing everywhere on the likes of Blackpink’s Lisa and Bella Hadid. “Ghost blonde is a barely there blonde tinge added to darker blonde, light brown or brunette hair, in super-faint strands,” says hair stylist Jason Collier.

A low-maintenance (read: easy) transformation, strands of blonde in brunette or dark blonde hair add an interesting dimension that glows in the sunshine. “It’s not full-on highlights, but more of a lifted glow, like natural sunlight catching your crown,” Jason adds. Ghost blonde catches in the light and adds dimension, without screaming ‘I’ve had my hair done.’”
