The Enchanting Trend That’s Casting a Spell on 2025
The magic of hairstyling has taken a whimsical turn this year with the emergence of Fairy Waves – a mesmerising trend that’s capturing hearts and turning heads. At Locate Your Look, we’re seeing more and more clients requesting this ethereal style that combines soft, romantic waves with a touch of mystical charm.
What Are Fairy Waves?
Imagine the gentle, flowing locks of a woodland fairy – that’s the essence of this enchanting trend. Fairy Waves are characterised by their loose, natural-looking waves that seem to float and dance with every movement. Unlike traditional beach waves, these are softer, more delicate, and have an almost weightless quality that creates an otherworldly effect.
How to Achieve the Look:
1. Start with well-hydrated hair
2. Use a heat protectant with shimmer particles for that magical glow
3. Create loose waves using a large barrel curling wand (1.5-2 inches)
4. Gently finger-comb the waves to break them up
5. Finish with a lightweight, illuminating mist
Why We Love This Trend:
– Perfect for all hair lengths and types
– Versatile enough for both everyday wear and special occasions
– Creates a romantic, dreamy aesthetic
– Low-maintenance yet high-impact
– Ideal for adding volume to fine hair
