<p>This season made hair the main (mane, if you will) character.</p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Fall/Winter 2025 felt like a season of hair stories: soft, wild, precise and sometimes soaking wet. The runways leaned into strong silhouettes and nostalgic references but kept it wearable and a little cheeky. Here&rsquo;s what led the charge &mdash; and how to achieve them.</span></p>

<h2>Fall/Winter 2025 Grooming Trends: Soft Power</h2>

<p>Gucci and Jacquemus brought back soft curls with a romantic, boyish charm. The look channels a modern Victorian mood with ringlets, gentle waves and face-framing shapes that read both refined and slightly mischievous. Work with what you&rsquo;ve got. Start by curling hair with a medium-barrel iron, then brush it out to loosen. Use a lightweight mousse for hold and a touch of hair oil to keep your curls soft, not crunchy.</p>

<h2>Fall/Winter 2025 Grooming Trends: Chop Shop</h2>

<p>Ferragamo and Herm&egrave;s leaned to uneven, choppy fringes that looked almost DIY. Cropped close with textured layers, this cut has a rough, boyish edge&hellip; as if someone grabbed the scissors in the bathroom mirror. Ask your stylist for a short, textured crop with visible layers and an imperfect fringe. Style it with matte clay, working it through with fingertips to keep it piecey and undone.</p>

<h2>Fall/Winter 2025 Grooming Trends: The Man Bob</h2>

<p>The bob has shaken off its scruffy reputation and stepped into chic territory. MM6 Maison Margiela showed sharp, chin-length cuts with glassy shine, while Louis Vuitton went looser, sending out tight curls with the same silhouette. It&rsquo;s less of &lsquo;I need a haircut&rsquo; and more of a deliberate, cool choice.</p>
<p>For a sleek bob, blow-dry it using a flat brush and finish with a straightener. Add shine serum for a mirror finish. If you&rsquo;ve got naturally curly hair, scrunch in cream and leave it to air dry to keep the shape but add bounce.</p>

<h2>Fall/Winter 2025 Grooming Trends: Drenched Effect</h2>

<p>Rick Owens took wet hair to its most dramatic extreme, with models looking like they&rsquo;d just stepped out of a storm, while Thom Browne kept things sharp and office-ready with slicked-back styles. Wet, shiny and deliberate is the name of the game.</p>
<p>Start with very damp hair and saturate with gel or styling cream, combing through to distribute it evenly. Use your fingers to create movement and keep the ends clumped together. Finish with shine spray for maximum gloss.</p>

<h2>Fall/Winter 2025 Grooming Trends: Mop Rules</h2>

<p>This isn&rsquo;t your classic bowl cut. The mop top seen this season at Ferragamo and Louis Vuitton had more movement and softness, with longer lengths that skim the ears and cheekbones. It&rsquo;s looser, more casual and less severe than a true bowl. Keep hair slightly longer around the crown and sides. Style with a light cream and air dry to get that lived-in swoop. A quick shake of the head is your final step to nailing the look.</p>

<h2>Fall/Winter 2025 Grooming Trends: Bleach Code</h2>

<p>Bleach was the shade of the season. Take your pick from frosted tips and platinum crops to washed-out blondes. Burberry updated bleach tips for the season with a softer, grown-up vibe, while Magliano went full peroxide with short, icy crops. Go to a pro for platinum. It&rsquo;s about tone as much as lift. Ask for an ash or cool finish to avoid brassiness. Maintain with purple shampoo and a weekly mask to keep your hair healthy.</p>
