So, take these 15 must-try 2024 hair trends with you into winter.

Winter is coming, and these are the hair trends you’ll want in your corner.

1. Short and Wild Shag

Now's the time to embrace your natural texture and flaunt those curls. While straight styles will always be in, winter is all about going full curly.

Whether you’re rocking short or long curls, the curly shag is perfect for the season. Style your natural texture and experiment with length to create volume and movement. This is a trend you’ll see everywhere this winter, so don't be afraid to style yours.

2. Curtain Bangs

Nothing flatters your forehead like bangs and curtain bangs are calling your name this winter. For Sabrina Carpenter, they’re the perfect way to accentuate her features, and you can achieve the same effect.

Go for a ‘do that feels fresh and stylish—this trendy cut adds exactly what you need to complement your face shape. So, this season, don't shy away from bangs. There's nothing to lose and plenty of stylish rewards to gain.

3. Terra-Copper

Redefine your cold-weather looks with this stunning hue. Maybe you've seen this shade on Chappell Roan in 2024, yes, that's the one—terra copper. It's rich, intense, and has more brown and orange tones than auburn.

If you'd like a vibrant look for winter then this is one for you to try. With Chappell’s rise to stardom this year, it's not surprising to see many wear this hue and it's perfect for such weather.

Note: the hue might fade quicker than you expect. So, take care of your hair. You can use a color-safe shampoo and conditioner when washing your hair.

4. Clavicuts

In case you're wondering, clavi cuts are lobs that sit right around your collarbone. They’re long lobs with specific lengths, and for the record, they’re quite fantastic. Think chic, versatile, and classy—that's what they are. You can easily pull them into a ponytail or experiment with other styles you’ve been eyeing, that’s how versatile they can get.

With many celebrities rocking the clavi cut in recent years, it’s a hot trend that will be everywhere this winter. So, consider trying it! The best part is, from blonde to black and brunette, there’s no color you can't style it in.

5. Sunflower Blonde

How we love this warm blonde shade. Isn't it calming and beautiful? It is. This shade is the warmest your blonde can get before it becomes another color entirely. It does look chic and can brighten up your look. More so, it can make your hair look much healthier.

So, while blondes with intense golden tones have been trending for some time, the sunflower blonde has stepped into the spotlight. This warm, rich hue adds a sunny, radiant touch to any winter look, making it the perfect blonde for the season.

6. Soft Curved Bob

Want to add a subtle old Hollywood touch to your bob? Why not try the soft curved bob? It gives you gentle, curved ends with a parting that suits the look. Here, Selena Gomez kept hers subtle but you can amp it using a hot tool to enhance the curves. How dramatic you go is up to you. So, make it yours and do what feels right for winter.

7. Bell-Bottom Bobs

Similar to the meaning of its name, the bell-bottom bob has flipped-out ends. The hairstyle was coined by TikToker Tom Smith, and with its recent rise this summer, it’s looking like it could transition into winter as a chic look you can wear.

We’ve already seen stars like Selena Gomez and Gigi Hadid rocking this style, so what are the chances of it not trending during winter? Pretty slim, if you ask us. Its sleek, polished top and flared-out bottom make it a style hard to deny.

Tips: A bob wig is ideal for getting this style, allowing you to transform into this style with ease and prevent heat damage.

8. Molasses Auburn

There’s a prediction that molasses auburn is taking over this winter—what do you think about rocking this gorgeous shade, whether on long or short hair? Just look at its richness—it practically jumps off the screen.

This stunning color is bound to shine during the colder months, and we can imagine how elegant and stylish it would look, much like Sophie Turner. So, don’t dismiss it just yet. Consider it, then decide. If you’re not ready for the commitment, try a wig in this shade—there’s always a way to make it work.

9. Slicked Back

Slick back is one look to remember for winter and there are many inspirations you can go with. Think of Gigi Hadid, Zendaya, and Megan Thee Stallion. They rocked this style in different ways and their styles stood out gorgeously.

So, whether it's long straight hair, with waves beneath or braids, this versatile style is yours to own.

For the perfect slicked look, have a brush, gel, and hairspray ready to achieve a nice and sleek look.

Note: Your choice of gel can determine how natural your hairstyle will look and if there will be flakes in your hair. Select carefully.

10. Curly Pixie Cut

What do you say to wearing a curly pixie cut this time around? We know straight pixie cuts are quite popular and can be very chic, but we've been seeing a lot more of this lately, and can't help but be stricken by it.

They help add volume to your hair and give you an edgy look. Plus, it'll be easy to manage, especially if you wear your natural curls more. Get a few products, and you'll be ready for the next season.

11. Retro-Inspired Blowouts

This style brings the perfect energy for winter. Brush your hair and gently tuck the strands behind your ear—whether your hair is short, medium, or long. It might look simple, but trust us, it makes a noticeable difference.

If you want to balance a long face shape, this is the trick. The best part? It gives you that boss lady, a serious vibe that’s both chic and powerful, making it a great winter style to embrace.

13. Barbie Bangs

Remember, you can tweak it to suit your style. Do that, and enjoy winter. 

14. Flippy Layers

Oh, what a gorgeous effect flippy layers will add to your look. They might have a retro vibe, but the touch they give will have you smiling every time you glance in the mirror this winter.

So, go to the salon and get those layers popping. You can try this with any hair color or shade, it will look great no matter what. Because the layers work magic, taking your hair from zero to a solid 100 and elevating your entire look.

15. Mousy Blonde

Speaking of blondes, the mousy blonde might be making a major comeback this winter. We know that as opposed to the golden tones reigning this fall, this is much more neutral, but a soft blonde hue for winter is nice. Its tones make it perfect for the weather and it blends with the mood.

Taylor Swift led the way with this look at the VMAs this year, and with her influence, we’re sure this trend will only grow in popularity. And that’s great news for anyone looking for a more understated blonde without the intense golden hues.

So, if you want a blonde that’s a little less golden but still beautiful, we highly recommend the mousy blonde. You’re in for a treat if you embrace this chic, low-maintenance shade!

Winter is the perfect time to try fresh, bold styles, and these 2024 winter hair trends will keep you looking chic all season long.
