TikTok Has Spoken: These Are the 5 Hair Trends to Try This Winter

With the sudden drop in temperature, it feels like winter is well and truly on its way. As the new season approaches, there are lots of cosy trends to try, from stylish scarf coats to red knitwear and knee-high boots. However, as a beauty editor, I'm always more interested in what makeup, skincare and hair trends we can expect to see, and my TikTok is currently filled with lots of different hair trends to try out this winter.

I don't know about you, but I've been seeing some super chic looks on social media, loved by celebrities and beauty influencers alike. Therefore, I thought it was only right to talk you through all of the biggest TikTok winter hair trends of 2024, so that you can try them out for yourself and see what all the hype is about.

From different hair colours to easy hairstyles and elegant accessories, there are lots of looks to choose from, and some of them are so simple to re-create. As with most TikTok trends, I have no doubt that we will be seeing these styles everywhere for the season ahead, so keep on scrolling to see which ones take your fancy. After writing this, I think I might have to give all of them a go…

1. Cherry Cola Hair

First up is cherry cola hair. I have seen so many people on TikTok dying their hair this deep red shade for the winter months, and I can totally see why. What I love about it is that it has a brown undertone, making it feel a little more subtle than a bright red hue.

If you're looking for a new hair colour this season, this is definitely the one to try.

2. French Pins

Claw clips were the hair accessory of choice last winter, but according to TikTok, this year is all about the French pin. As you can see above, this chic hair pin quickly and easily secures your hair in place, allowing you to create a wide range of styles.

Not only that, but it's the perfect fashion accessory to finish off your outfit.

3. Side Partings

Say goodbye to your middle parting, as it seems that side partings are here to stay. As someone who has parted their hair in the middle their whole life, I was reluctant to give this trend a go, but even I have to admit that it looks so sleek.

It's also great for adding volume at the roots. Simply apply a bit of mousse for even more impact.

4. Wispy Fringe

Fringes have been making a comeback this season, and according to TikTok, a wispy fringe is the way to go this winter. In fact, I've been seeing this hairstyle all over Instagram too.

If you're not quite ready to get a block fringe, a wispy fringe is a great starting point. This style has more of a feathered finish, allowing the forehead to peek through.

It seems that everyone on my FYP page is trying to achieve that bouncy blow-dry look this winter. From hot brushes to heatless curling kits, there are so many ways to get that salon-worthy finish at home.
