Move over sleek blowouts and pin straight hair; 2025 is all about letting the waves take over.
Beach-kissed or red-carpet ready, the wavy hairdo is no longer a backup look; it's the headline.
Whether you're going full mermaid or just teasing soft ripples into your lob-styled hair, waves are officially the popular rebellion against too much styling.
Here's how your favourite stars are owning this texture with bounce and attitude to spare.
