2025 Spring Racing Hair Trend Report

Spring Racing season in Brisbane is all about fashion, flair, and unforgettable hair. With warm weather, bold outfits, and dazzling headwear, your hairstyle needs to be both on-trend and race-day ready. Here’s our insider’s guide to the biggest 2025 spring racing hair trends that Brisbane women will be wearing trackside.

1. over sized bows & headbands

We’re a sucker for a hair accessory, and Dua's oversized bow at the Chanel is everything to me. Get the look with a fun bow from Sandy Liang or go for some hair hardware with a giant pony cuff from Lelet NY.

A thick, chunky headband can take any hair look from 0 to 100 with literally zero effort. They make a bold statement and can subtly enhance your hair's natural volume. Depending on your vibe, you can get a pack of classic neutrals on Amazon for less than $10—or opt for something bolder and brighter with a cute pattern.

Pro tip: Prep with a smoothing serum before your blow-dry to keep humidity at bay, and finish with a gloss spray for that camera-ready sheen.

2. Sleek Bobs & Sharp Cuts

The structured bob is back in full force—sleek, straight, and razor-sharp. Paired with bold fashion choices, this cut is modern, chic, and low-maintenance throughout the day.

Race-day edge: Add a side-part and tuck behind the ear for an editorial, headpiece-friendly finish.

3. Sculpted Ponytails & Braided Elegance

For women who want both drama and practicality, sculpted ponytails and braided details are key players this year. Whether it’s a high-gloss, snatched ponytail or a low ponytail with soft braiding, these looks stay secure and polished from the first race to the last.

Hot tip: Wrap a section of your own hair around the elastic for a professional touch.

4. Bold Buns for Spring 2025

The Oscars were filled with soooo many bun moments (Margaret and Ariana to name a few) and its a spring-favorite look of professional hairstylist Gabbi Jeanne. "I love a cool bun, something different than the classic ballerina style," she says. "Adding some spikes, twisting up the hair, or doing anything to make it sleek yet unique."

4. Spring’s Colour Palette: Bronde, Raffia Blonde & Pastel Accents

This season is all about dimensional colour. Brisbane women are embracing:

  • Raffia blonde – a warm, sunlit blonde with creamy depth.

  • Bronde blends – seamless blonde-brown fusion for natural sophistication.

  • Pastel pops – think subtle rose, lilac, or icy blue peeking through soft layers for a playful, fashion-forward edge.

5. Accessories That Make a Statement

No Spring Racing look is complete without the right accessory. In 2025, we’re seeing:

  • Oversized bows for a feminine, playful touch.

  • Velvet or satin headbands to pair with sleek styles.

  • Sculptural fascinators in bold shapes, balanced by simple, elegant hair.

Brisbane-Specific Styling Tips

  • Beat the heat: Stick with humidity-resistant products to avoid frizz in Queensland’s spring warmth.

  • Stay comfortable: If you’re wearing a statement headpiece, keep your style simple and balanced.

  • Longevity is key: Book in for a professional blow-dry or styling session the morning of race day to ensure your hair lasts through every race, photo, and after-party.

Final Word

The Brisbane Spring Racing Carnival is more than just a day at the track—it’s a chance to make a bold fashion statement. This year’s hair trends are all about shine, structure, and creative flair. Whether you opt for polished waves, a sleek bob, or a daring ponytail, your hair should complement your outfit and give you the confidence to shine all day.

✨ Blonde Hair Trends for 2025: What’s Hot This Year

Blondes really do have more fun—but in 2025, blonde is about so much more than fun. This year’s trends are all about dimension, softness, and healthy shine. At Revolution Hairdressing, we’ve curated the top blonde looks our stylists are creating right now in our Brisbane salons. Whether you’re looking for a subtle refresh or a bold transformation, here’s what’s trending in blonde for 2025.

🌸 1. Vanilla Cream Blonde

The biggest blonde of 2025? Soft, creamy vanilla. This luxe shade strikes the perfect balance between cool and warm tones, making it universally flattering. Think smooth, glossy, and effortlessly chic.

💡 Perfect for: clients who want a natural but luminous blonde that works with any skin tone.

🌞 2. Golden Sun-Kissed Balayage

Balayage is here to stay, but in 2025 it’s evolving into softer, golden ribbons of light painted through the hair for that just-back-from-holiday glow.

💡 Perfect for: brunettes transitioning to blonde, or blondes wanting easy, low-maintenance lightness.

❄️ 3. Frosted Platinum

Platinum isn’t going anywhere—but this year it’s less icy white and more pearly, frosted shimmer. It’s bold, editorial, and always turns heads.

💡 Perfect for: confident blondes ready to make a statement (with proper salon care + treatments to keep it healthy).

🍯 4. Honey Beige Dimension

Dimensional blondes are a big 2025 vibe. Honey beige tones blend warm and cool highlights to create richness and depth—without ever looking flat.

💡 Perfect for: anyone who wants depth, shine, and a blonde that grows out beautifully.

🌿 5. Sustainable Blonde (Healthy Hair First!)

This year, hair health is the biggest trend. Treatments like Wella’s Ultimate Repair range and System Professionals LuxeBlonde range are key to maintaining blonde tones that shine. At Revolution, we pair blonding services with luxury treatments so your hair looks amazing on day one and stays strong in the months ahead.

💡 Perfect for: every blonde—because healthy hair will always be in style.
