Celebrity Hairstyle Trends and the Tools Behind Them

In 2025, we’re witnessing a strong shift toward more natural, textured styles, healthy hair routines, and high-performance styling tools. And the good news? You don’t have to be famous—or have a glam squad on call—to get the look.

Let’s dive into trending celebrity hairstyles, the hair tools you can use to recreate them, and tips on achieving these star-worthy looks at home yourself.

The Comeback of Celebrity Curly Long Hair

Curly long hair is coming back as a top-trending hairstyle for 2025. More and more stars are embracing their natural curls, using them as a form of self-expression and empowerment to strengthen their natural beauty. Actresses like Yara Shahidi, musicians like Lizzo, and beauty icons like Tracee Ellis Ross are showing off their curly locks with pride—and fans are taking notice of this confidence without any touch required.

The authenticity is what made this natural curly long hairstyle unique. Rather than hiding curls under heat styling or extensions, this style focuses on minimising touch or styling on natural hair while enhancing its texture with high-quality products and the right tools. It’s always been highly recommended to use a leave-in conditioner or curl cream to prep your hair and nurture its strength first. Then, section it off and use a medium-barrel hair styling tool to touch up curls or define areas needing more bounce. Finish the routine off with a lightweight oil or shine spray to add gloss and tame frizz.

The Polished Bob with a Subtle Texture

The polished bob with a subtle texture is a sophisticated trend gracing the red carpets and fashion editorials. Think of the elegant Cate Blanchett or Gwyneth Paltrow, both of whom frequently showcase chin-length or slightly longer bobs with a subtle wave or bend to avoid a stark, overly straightened appearance. On the more contemporary side, actresses like Zendaya and Florence Pugh have embraced the versatility of the bob, experimenting with sleek finishes that still retain a hint of effortless texture. Charlize Theron also often steps out with beautifully styled bobs, sometimes featuring soft waves and a dramatic side part, perfectly embodying this polished yet subtly textured trend. 

Want to achieve the same look with healthy, radiant hair? Our Veaudry iStyler with tourmaline plates is the best option. Its smooth plates ensure even heat distribution, minimising damage while creating that desired sleekness and subtle movement. Its rounded edges allow for effortless shaping and a gentle bend at the ends.

Effortless Waves and Face-Framing Layers

Effortless waves paired with face-framing layers remain a popular celebrity hairstyle. Sienna Miller and the iconic Gisele Bündchen often exemplify this bohemian yet sophisticated look, with their hair appearing windswept and beautifully undone. Looking for a more youthful and vibrant take? Turn your head to singers like Dua Lipa and Selena Gomez, who have embraced long, soft layers that frame their faces and enhance their radiant glow. And for a style that remains eternally chic and approachable, Jennifer Aniston has long been an advocate for layers that create those signature soft, effortless waves. 

You can pull off this celebrity hairstyle with a Veaudry curling iron. Designed to create natural-looking waves without harsh kinks, it helps you achieve that coveted “just stepped off the beach” texture while maintaining a healthy shine. Do not forget to use a heat-protectant spray before styling your waves to keep your locks looking their best.

Sleek High Ponytails with Braided Accents

The sleek high ponytail, elevated with sophisticated braided accents, offers a more striking yet elegant option. Ariana Grande has certainly made the high ponytail her signature, and we now see the addition of subtle braids, such as a sleek wrap around the base or delicate micro-braids within the ponytail itself. On the red carpet, actresses like Lupita Nyong’o have demonstrated the high ponytail’s capacity for true glamour by incorporating elaborate braided elements. Even models like Jourdan Dunn have showcased the versatility of this look with sporty yet chic variations featuring interesting braid designs. 

Achieving that impeccably smooth base for your high ponytail requires a reliable straightener, and our Veaudry hair irons with adjustable temperature control are ideal for creating a frizz-free, polished finish. The adjustable heat settings allow you to protect your hair while achieving that sleekness. If you want to create those delicate braids, a fine-toothed comb and styling serum can provide the perfect grip and definition.

Celebrity Hair Care: It All Starts with a Healthy Routine

No style—no matter how trendy—will look good if your hair isn’t healthy. Most celebrities follow a consistent hair care routine that focuses on moisturisation, protection, and nourishment to achieve the best strength from the inside out.

Key elements of a good hair care routine include:

• Sulphate-free shampoos 

• Deep conditioning treatments 

• Leave-in conditioners and serums 

• Using heat-protectant sprays before styling

• Scalp care, such as massages or scalp serums

With healthy hair, styling will be made easier and hold better throughout the day. Plus, it reflects light more naturally, giving that red-carpet shine without the need for extensions, extra gloss spray or hot styling everywhere you go.

The Tools Celebrities Swear By

Recreating a celebrity hairstyle is easier than ever, thanks to modern technology and high-quality tools. Whether styling tight curls, soft waves, or sleek, straight locks, having the right equipment can make or break your look.

Here are some top hair styling tools that celebrities and their stylists rely on:

1. Hair Styling Wand

Perfect for creating loose waves or defined curls, hair styling wands offer control without the damage of traditional curling irons. These wands are essential for shaping and defining celebrity-like curly long hair, especially when working with natural texture.

2. Hair Styling Hot Brush

The hair-styling hot brush is a must-have tool for achieving salon-level volume and smoothness. It functions as a round brush or blow dryer, helping you create bouncy blowouts similar to Jennifer Lopez and Hailey Bieber’s go-to hairstyles.

3. Flat Irons and Straighteners

Flat irons with adjustable heat ranges will deliver a professional look (as if you’ve just walked out of the salon) while remaining easy to use. Plus, they help minimise damage and allow you to pull off various hairstyles.

4. Blow Dryers with Ionic Technology

These Veaudry’s professional blow dryers reduce frizz, speed up drying time, and leave your hair shinier and smoother. Creating the perfect base before using a hair styling wand or hot brush is what it’s made for.
