Cooler temps, fresher strands — the winter hair trends and tips you need straight from those in the know.
As the temperature drops, it’s not just your wardrobe that gets a seasonal update — your hair deserves a winter refresh, too. Whether it’s a bold colour transformation, a fresh chop (hello, Sofia Richie Grainge) or a new routine to combat winter dryness, now is the perfect time to experiment.
We spoke to Jaye Edwards and the team at EdwardsAndCo to uncover the must-know hair trends and go-to products for the cooler months ahead.

Top 3 Winter Hair Cut Trends
The Sofia Richie Bob
When it comes to cuts, right now it’s all about the jawline-grazing French Bob — elegant, effortless, and ultra on-trend.
“It’s defined by its jawline length and blunt edge, but still has tousled volume and layers,” says Edwards. It works best for oval and heart-shaped faces, but can be tailored to suit a variety of hair textures with the help of your stylist.
To recreate Sofia Richie’s take on the trend:
- What to ask for: A jawline-length bob with dimension and warmth — aka old money blonde with subtle face-framing highlights.
- How to style it: “Use a heat protectant like the O&M PS Spray and blow dry to about 80% dry for volume and shine,” Edwards advises. “For that ’90s blowout feel, use a round brush to frame the face, or a curling tong to create volume by curling away from the face.” Finish with O&M Desert Dry Texture Spray for movement and hold.

The 90s Claudia Schiffer Cut
“The Claudia Schiffer Cut is a cut we’ve been getting a lot of bookings for. I love this cut as it starts at the brow and gradually sweeps to the cheekbone, opening up the face and softening the features.”
The Return of Long Layers
Not ready to say goodbye to your long hair? Good news: long layers are still going strong.
“They’re a year-round favourite, but especially great for winter when you want your hair to feel polished and refined,” says EdwardsAndCo stylist Ash Jeffery.
“Soft layering can be tailored to suit your facial features, hair length and colour—making them incredibly versatile.”

Outback Honey
Forget flat, lifeless winter hair—Outback Honey is all about rich, sun-drenched warmth.
“As we head into the cooler months, we’re seeing a shift toward deeper, warmer hues that bring life and richness to hair,” says Jaye Edwards. “This is a tone that can be customised to suit you and worked to enhance your natural colour.” Think of it as the perfect seasonal glow-up for brunettes and blondes alike.
Biscuit Bronde
One for the blondes ready to embrace something a little softer, Biscuit Bronde is the ideal in-between. “It’s the perfect blend of soft golden blondes and creamy light browns—think sun-kissed warmth with a buttery base,” Edwards explains. “This is a popular transformation for my blonde clients who want to go darker for the winter months.”
Sparkly Brunette
If you’re a brunette looking to elevate your colour without a dramatic shift, Sparkly Brunette is your winter go-to. “It’s one of my signature colours that really takes off in the cooler months,” says Edwards. “Less is more when it comes to brunettes, and a balayage service can help you achieve that subtle, shimmering finish.”
Top 3 Winter Hair Care Products
Colder temperatures, indoor heating and dry air can wreak havoc on your hair — so a hydrating haircare routine is a must. Edwards shares his favourite products to keep your strands glossy and healthy:
- O&M Power Base Masque: “My all-time favourite for strengthening the hair and boosting fullness and growth.”
- O&M Dry Queen Dry Shampoo: A must for extending time between washes.
- O&M C-Spray Dry Conditioner: “Perfect for hydrating and nourishing the ends — especially important in winter when dryness can become more noticeable.”
Whether you’re warming up your tone with Outback Honey, refining your cut with soft layers or opting for that It-girl bob, this season’s hair trends are all about tailored touches and healthy, hydrated strands. And with the right products and expert guidance, you’ll be turning heads all winter long.
