From retro throwbacks to futuristic finishes, this season’s runways offered plenty of hair inspiration. We’re breaking down the standout looks and the pro products behind them so you can bring high-fashion styles into the salon for your clients this fall.
Retro Volume and Bumper Bangs
At Anna Sui’s Fall/Winter 2025 show, R+Co co-founder Garren delivered a playful nod to vintage beauty with retro volume and bumper bangs. To hold the style in place with flexible movement, he reached for R+Co BLEU Cult Classic Flexible Hairspray, ensuring the look stayed polished while keeping that throwback charm.
Grungey Texture
Texture took center stage at the Fall 2025 E.L.V. DENIM runway show, where hairstylist Philipp Haug created a raw and undone finish. Using Schwarzkopf Professional SESSION LABEL The Mousse for structure and The Salt Spray for grit, he achieved a lived-in, grunge-inspired texture that felt modern yet effortless.
Clean and Effortless
Minimalism met softness at the Tibi Fall/Winter 2025 show, where Frank Rizzieri enhanced the models’ own hair textures and shapes. Rizzieri styled extremely refined yet airy styles using Aveda Universal Styling Cream, he created undone waves, lived‑in curls, and lazy‑cool braids that nailed the vibe.
Slick Yet Textured Updos
At Sandy Liang, celebrity hairstylist Evanie Frausto reimagined claw-clip updos and high ponytails with a sleek-meets-textured twist. He layered amika Superfruit Star Lightweight Styling Oil for shine and nourishment with Fluxus Touchable, Flexible Hold Hairspray to lock in the playful, elevated finish.
Strong Bangs and Sleek Bun
For Christopher John Rogers, editorial hairstylist Sonny Molina showcased a bold, structured bang that embodied a confident woman, reflecting the collection’s sharp geometric shapes and color-blocking. Shine and hold were achieved with Bumble and bumble Spray de Mode Flexible Hold Hairspray, while a variation on this style paired the strong bang with a sleek, intricately twisted bun formed by working Thickening Full Form Soft Hair Mousse through the ponytail before twisting and securing it.
Hollywood Glam and Sleek Styles
At Global Fashion Collective’s 10 shows, Goldwell National Artist Odete DaSilva offered a versatile display of glam-inspired hair. Using Goldwell’s StyleSign Shine Spray for gloss and StyleSign Lagoom Jam with Bodifying Control Mousse for hold, DaSilva created three distinct runway statements. Hollywood Glam Waves were styled to achieve either a structured, wet-look finish or a softer horizontal wave pattern. Minimal Low Ponies were kept simple, clean and polished, emphasizing sleek lines and a glossy surface. Sleek Braids featured intricate cornrows that flowed into top knots, requiring strong hold and smooth texture for a sculptural, elevated result.
