Hair Trends We Loved in 2025 and What’s Coming in 2026
At Love Hair, we’re always guided by what our clients want. Every appointment and every honest chat in the salon helps shape what we offer. And over time, some looks stick around. These are the styles that continue to feel right for our clients. They ask for them again, tell their friends and come back for more.
In this article, we’re highlighting the most-loved 2025 hair trends that have continued to shine. From short haircuts to long hairstyles, and hair extensions to natural texture, these styles reflect what truly matters to our clients. We’re also sharing the 2026 hair trends we believe will shape what’s next.

Celebrating 2025 Hair Trends
The most popular 2025 hair trends have centred around individuality, hair health and embracing your natural texture. The shift away from overly structured styling stood out. Hair became softer, with layered movement replacing blunt ends. Many clients in Hong Kong were ready for a change and our stylists loved helping them explore something new.
Short Haircuts Had a Moment
Short haircuts made a confident return. From tailored bobs to cropped pixies, these shapes brought a fresh feel that worked beautifully in Hong Kong’s warm, often humid climate. Clients often shared how liberating it felt to have less hair while still keeping it stylish.
Whether it was a modern bob or a relaxed lob, short styles suited clients looking for something sharp yet easy to manage. These looks do require regular shaping and a little styling know-how, and we’re always here to guide you through.

Long Hairstyles with a Softer Touch
Long hairstyles were still going strong in 2025, but with a softer, more layered look. We saw more interest in face-framing layers, curtain fringes and natural movement. The ultra-blunt one-length cuts have stepped aside for more shape and lightness.
Hair extensions helped take these styles further. In Hong Kong, we had many clients enhance their long hairstyles with extensions. Whether it was to thicken the ends, add volume or test out colour and fringe options, hair extensions made a noticeable difference. They were a flexible way to create something new without the commitment.

Blonde Took a Backseat to Natural Tones
Among the top 2025 hair trends was a change in blonde. Fewer clients wanted very bright blondes. Instead, they chose blended shades like milk tea, almond and ash beige. These tones felt softer, more natural and easier to maintain in Hong Kong’s climate.
Grey blending also gained traction. Rather than aiming for full coverage, many clients asked for a gentler blend of natural grey and coloured hair to keep things polished but low-effort.

Copper Colour Came Into Its Own
This year, copper took off. From golden reds to deep rust, warm tones were everywhere. These colours suited so many skin tones and felt like a fresh alternative to browns or blondes. We’re now seeing the start of a new shift to cooler, deeper reds like plum and aubergine are becoming more popular as we move toward 2026.

What to Expect from 2026 Hair Trends
The 2026 hair trends are already taking shape. Individuality and wellbeing remain key. At Love Hair, we’re ready to support clients through these changes with personalised advice, specialist services and honest recommendations.
Curly Hair Extensions Are Coming
Hair extensions will continue to be a big part of 2026 hair trends, especially with our upcoming launch of curly hair extensions. These are designed to match natural texture and allow clients to boost their volume or length without straightening or smoothing their curl pattern.
We’re proud to bring this to Hong Kong. It means more options for clients who want to wear their curls with confidence. You can book a complimentary consultation to find out what suits you best.
Long Hairstyles, Updated Again
Long hairstyles remain a classic, but in 2026 we’re seeing more layering to complement movement, waves and curls. Hair extensions are still key to achieving those fuller, more dimensional looks, whether you want a subtle change or something more dramatic.
Our team in Hong Kong also supports clients dealing with thinning or hormone-related changes. We offer discreet clip-in extensions and lightweight top pieces to add shape and structure where needed.
Short Haircuts Stay on Trend
Short haircuts are not going anywhere. In fact, 2026 hair trends include even more variety, think layered cuts, sculpted pixies and undercut styles. The overall feel is going to be confident and creative. We’re seeing more clients embrace their features and trust their stylist to create something that feels modern and manageable.

The Rise of ‘Undone’ Styling
This year, casual styling has really taken off. Oversized clips, soft knots and relaxed updos are showing up everywhere. These looks are light, effortless and perfect for Hong Kong’s fast-paced lifestyle. The aim is polished but not overdone.

Colour Trends: From Copper to Plum
We’re starting to see a colour shift as copper moves into deeper territory. Rich tones like wine, plum and berry are making an appearance in salons across Hong Kong. These hues add warmth and depth, while offering something a little unexpected.

Scalp Health Becomes Central
We’ve had more clients ask about thinning hair, stress-related shedding and changes linked to hormones. Scalp health is no longer a side concern — it’s central. We offer treatments and in-salon rituals focused on improving scalp balance, along with product advice for home care. It’s all about healthy hair from the root.
Why Love Hair Is Ready for What’s Next
Whether you’re planning a chop, growing your hair with the help of extensions or making a colour shift, we’re here to help. The 2025 hair trends showed us that clients want hair that suits who they are now. The 2026 hair trends reflect the same values, authenticity, creativity and healthy hair.
