Curly hair is a diverse category made up of many different textures, patterns, shapes and styles. That said, it’d be hard to nail down just one trend, be it a haircut or a style. Instead, the curly hair trends of 2025 are all about embracing the multiformity that makes curls special. From tight, dense coils to loose and wavy ringlets, this year’s looks are leaning into effortless styling to enhance the natural texture. “There’s been a shift, and curly hair trends are leaning more toward less structured looks, allowing for more room to be creative and amplify the unique shape of different curl patterns,” says celebrity colorist and curly hair expert Leysa Carrillo. With edgy layers, carefree cuts and tousled styles, there’s something for every curly girl to get into. Ahead, we tapped expert stylists for their predictions on curly hair looks that will dominate this year.
