As we head into autumn/winter 2025, hair is all about movement, texture, and personality.

This season, classic shapes are being reimagined with playful twists, bobs that are bold and voluminous, crops that are light and feminine, and fringes that frame the face like a halo.

Whether you want a look that’s effortlessly undone or fashion forward with subtle sophistication, Melissa Timperley, Celebrity Hair Stylist & Founder of Melissa Salons details the cuts set to define the season.

The Rodeo Bob

Bobs are evolving for autumn/winter 2025—longer, looser, and more layered than before. The danger zone is the mumsy bob: too neat, too flat, too polite. The Rodeo Bob steers clear by embracing texture and volume. Think airy fluff, a blown-up silhouette, and a little attitude. Sexy, playful, and bold—the Rodeo Bob is all about movement.

Pro Styling Tip:
Apply a salt spray through damp hair, then air-dry with your fingers for lift and separation. Finish with a spritz of texturising spray to keep it touchable, not stiff. The goal? A bob that looks like it caught a warm breeze—undone, yet intentional.

The Tinkerbelle Crop

Soft, pretty, and distinctly feminine, the Tinkerbelle Crop is proof that short hair can be light and delicate without feeling dated. For autumn/winter 2025, the update is subtle but powerful: keep a little length at the nape so it can flick upwards. That small detail transforms it to fashion-forward, giving it movement, charm and femininity.

Pro Styling Tip:
Work a pea-sized amount of lightweight wax or cream into the ends, pinching them upwards for that flick. Avoid heavy products—this cut is about airiness, not weight.

The Halo Fringe

The standout cut of the season is the Halo Fringe. Seen on country singer Payten Porter, it curves around the face like a halo – creating instant lift, movement, and contouring the face. The appeal is in its effortlessness: it looks just as chic styled smooth as it does with lived-in texture. Universally flattering, endlessly versatile, and designed to frame the face—it’s the fringe set to dominate 2025.

Pro Styling Tip:
Blow-dry sections forward, letting them curve softly around the cheekbones. Finish with a mist of shine spray for that “expensive” gloss.
