The Top Winter Hair Trends to Put on Your Radar

The brief for Fall/Winter 2023 hair trends? Keep things cosy, low-maintenance, healthy, and defined.

Whether you’re taking inspiration from the latest runways or keeping with the natural progression of the season, this year we’re all embracing a new version of ourselves. That could mean more vibrant colour, natural texture, or ultra-shiny finishes — it all goes.

Winter 2023 Hair Trends

We’ve seen the runways, we’re paying attention to street style and we’ve talked to the experts — here are your winter hair trends sorted.

Wispy Winter Waves

We may have just bid adieu to warmer weather, but hairstyles are still holding on to summer vibes. In the past, we’ve seen similar versions of mermaid-inspired or undone waves during the winter and for 2023 they're taking on a new shape. Blending the lines between glamour and undone, wispy waves are in the spotlight. A slightly more defined version of fluffy waves, they can be created on natural texture with the right product mix, but are usually created by prepping with a blow-dry and finishing with a curling iron.


We suggest prepping with BLOW.DRY WASH + RINSE, following with EVER.BOUNCE and finishing with DOO.OVER to get the look.

Ballet-Inspired Buns

From fashion to beauty — ballet-inspired everything is trending this season. Luckily, you don’t have to invest in a pair of ballet flats to jump on the trend. From sleek to wispy, ballet buns in all shapes and sizes are the easiest way to get the look and make the ideal holiday hairstyle. Just ask Leland Olson and Mustafa Yanaz, who created the sleek bun look at Philip Lim SS24 at NYFW.


To get the look, MOTION.LOTION and HAIR.RESORT.SPRAY helped prep the looks, while SESSION.SPRAY and TOUCHABLE were key to perfecting them.

Copper Tones

Copper hair colour is a tone that translates well from fall to winter and from winter to spring. It instantly adds warmth during the colder months while also prepping for a spring full of pastels. Currently, we’re leaning into the darker, rusty, leather-like versions of Cowgirl Copper, and come spring it will be all about Copper Blondes and a return to lighter, brighter versions of this dynamic hue.


For best results, book regular GLOSS treatments throughout the season to keep your colour looking vibrant and healthy. Then follow with the EVERLASTING.COLOUR regimen – consisting of EVERLASTING.COLOUR TREATMENT, WASH, RINSE and LEAVE-IN – this at-home shampoo, conditioner, leave-in, and treatment is ideal for bond-building protection and colour longevity — a must-have for any copper-coloured finish.

Defined Texture

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by KEVIN.MURPHY (@kevin.murphy)

At the moment, many of us are walking away from perfectly straight styles, and it’s not just because of the upkeep. Learning to embrace a look that enhances your hair just as it is, is everything at the moment. From slight waves to defined curls and coils — embracing individual texture sometimes means combating frizz or improving the health of your hair and products are the easiest way to do that.


Start with a GLOSS to add shine and bond-building technology to enhance strong, healthy, brilliant results. From there, prep texture with KILLER.CURLS WASH + RINSE, an oat milk shampoo and conditioner duo full of weightless moisturisers and frizz prevention to set the stage. Then choose from KILLER.TWIRLS, MOTION.LOTION, KILLER.CURLS, KILLER.WAVES, EASY.RIDER or a combination of a few of these stylers to enhance your natural texture.

FAQ

Wispy winter waves are a standout trend this season because they blend a glamorous yet undone look that’s perfect for the colder months. This style is slightly more defined than the fluffy waves we've seen in past seasons and can be created using natural texture, blow-drying, or a curling iron. With the right product mix, like BLOW.DRY WASH, EVER.BOUNCE, and DOO.OVER, these waves hold their shape and maintain a soft, romantic finish.

Ballet-inspired buns are trending this winter because they combine elegance and ease, making them an ideal holiday hairstyle. From sleek, polished versions to softer, wispy takes, this style is versatile and effortless to create. Products like MOTION.LOTION, HAIR.RESORT.SPRAY, and SESSION.SPRAY give the hair structure and hold while maintaining flexibility, making this style achievable for any occasion.

Copper hair colour is a versatile tone that moves effortlessly from fall to winter and even into spring. This season, darker, richer shades like Cowgirl Copper are trending, adding warmth during the cooler months. As we head into spring, lighter, brighter Copper Blonde tones will take over. To maintain vibrant copper hues, regular GLOSS treatments and the EVERLASTING.COLOUR regimen, including WASH, RINSE, and LEAVE-IN, help protect and prolong the life of the colour.
