Inside Summer’s Biggest Hair Trends, According To Brisbane Hair Icon
What's hot in hair
By Bianca Licina | 17th December 2025Pondering what hot girl summer might mean for your hair (and whether your current ‘do is ready for the assignment)? Same. So we went straight to the source, tapping hair pro Jaye Edwards from Edwards and Co to spill on how all the cool people will be rocking their locks this summer. Think sun-kissed colours, effortless cuts, and the kind of low-fuss products that make your hair look smick without even trying.
From subtle switches to full glow-ups, here’s what Jaye is heroing for summer.
3 COLOUR TRENDS
1. Mocha Brunette
JE: “Mocha Brunette is all about depth with dimension. It’s rich, glossy, and feels incredibly expensive without being overpowering. It’s defined by Mocha tones with seamless balayage and soft contouring around the face so the colour never looks flat. It’s perfect for brunettes who want to elevate their natural base with warmth while keeping maintenance minimal and the finish ultra luxe.”
2. Suede Bronde
“Suede Bronde continues to be one of our most requested shades because it hits that sweet spot between blonde and brunette. It’s warm without being golden, cool without being ashy, and universally flattering. For Suede Bronde, I focus on muted lowlights and diffused highlights so you get this creamy, seamless blend that grows out beautifully. It’s effortless and sun-kissed, perfect for the warmer seasons.”
3. Buttery Blonde
“Buttery Blonde is that soft, luminous blonde everyone wants right now. It gives brightness without tipping into harsh platinum. The key is balancing warm, buttery reflections with clean, controlled lift. We always keep the root stretched so the look stays modern and natural, not stripey or overdone. It’s a blonde that feels healthy, hydrated, and full of movement.”
3 CUT TRENDS
1. Scandi Bangs
“Scandi Bangs are the ultimate cool girl haircut. It’s wispy, feather-light, and sits slightly shorter through the centre to open up the eyes and cheekbones. What I love about this cut is the versatility; you can wear them soft and airy for that Scandi minimalism, or more tousled and textured for a French girl vibe. They instantly modernise any haircut without committing to a full, heavy fringe.”
2. LOB “Long Bob”
“The LOB is timeless for a reason. It’s clean, it’s chic, and it frames the face beautifully. This is the kind of haircut that will be personalised to suit your facial features, so the hair moves effortlessly rather than sitting stiff or blocky.”
3. Bouncy Blowout
“The Bouncy Blowout is iconic for a reason – clients want volume and shine! To achieve it, we combine directional brushing with rounded layers that encourage movement. Leaving you with hair that looks full, airy, and incredibly touchable. The secret to the perfect bouncy blow-dry is healthy hair, and this starts with scalp health.”
TOP PRODUCTS
“This season is all about scalp care. Healthy hair comes from a healthy scalp so I’ve been recommending clients to look into hair care products that prioritise scalp health and hair resilience. I’ve been loving the new AMPERNA hair care range, which contains a prebiotic and postbiotic complex to support a balanced scalp environment, creating the perfect foundation for stronger, smoother, and healthier hair.”
“To lock this in, my favourite hair care/styling product is the O&M CØR.restore Leave-In Treatment. It contains 11 essential amino acids that help seal the cuticle for a smooth, glass-like finish while locking in hydration, boosting elasticity, and defending against breakage. Hair feels stronger, sleeker, and visibly healthier!”
“My secret to a new colour transformation are the Three Warriors Hydrabronze Tan Drops. I tell my clients to mix a few drops in with a moisturiser, and it gives their skin the perfect glow to complement their new hair colour! It’s a summer essential.”
