We may only be just a month into 2025, but we’ve already started to see so many amazing hair trends start to shape up for the year ahead. If you’re curious about hair colors and styles that are set to make a major impact in the extensions space, we’ve totally got you covered.
Our friends at Babe Hair Extensions—who are known for their ethically-sourced, hand-crafted hair extensions that are made with 100 percent human Remy hair—came through with a ton of insight into the top extensions styles that are predicted to trend this year. From It-girl colors to ethereal lengths, here are the extension trends to watch out for.
Sunflower Blonde
After first gaining traction in the second half of 2024, this warm and golden shade is on track to remain in increasing demand this year, according to Babe Hair. Not only is sunflower blonde easy to maintain, but it’s also a color that brightens the face making it super appealing to many people.
‘70s Waves
Cascading hip-length waves, as seen on the likes of Charli XCX, are predicted to trend. Like the carefree locks of the ‘70s, this hairstyle embraces an intentional messy look and dramatic length.
Cherry Red Hair
With searches for “cherry red hair” increasing over the past season, Babe Hair forecasts that even more clients will be requesting this rich, deep hue at their next salon appointment.
Natural Minimalism
According to Babe Hair, there have been reports that both hair growth and “glass hair” have been top of mind for many consumers. As a result, many people are prioritizing strong, healthy strands. While there is the assumption that a healthy hair routine can’t co-exist with extension wear, the two often work hand in hand. For anyone wanting to celebrate their natural hair color and avoid bleaching, extensions make a really good option.
Low-Maintenance Blends
As salon visits become less frequent, many people are seeking no-fuss hair extensions, per Babe Hair. Lived-in and balanced, balayage extensions allow for the natural hair to grow out smoothly without the harsh contrast of other highlighting methods. For clients who would like to add a pop of color but are hoping to avoid frequent touch ups or the need for bleach, balayage extensions are a great option.
Retro Curls
Retro curls have never been more coolor—or sought after. With hair trend forecaster Tom Smith recently announcing the return of “the set” and celebs like Kendall Jenner spotted rocking Marilyn Monroe-esque ringlets, there’s no better time to achieve this dramatic style with extensions.
Blunt Bob
First popularized in the late 2010s thanks to a number of celebrity cuts on social media, this shoulder-length chop is predicted to have a major moment this year. While the style may seem easily attainable, Babe Hair notes that clients may have trouble achieving this look with the assistance of extensions to add considerable fullness.
Mocha Mousse
Mocha Mousse, Pantone’s Color of the Year for 2025, is already making waves in the hair space as a must-try hair color. This warm and earthy brown has universal appeal and is flattering on clients of all skin tones.
