The term "Boho is back" is likely the most prevalent expression in fashion at present, second only to "Fashion Week" or "trends." It is time for a seasonal wardrobe transition.
“We’re seeing this wave of ’70s and Y2K nostalgia in fashion, and hair always follows,” says Larry King, Dyson’s global styling ambassador. “On the runways this season, from Chloé to Etro, we’re seeing undone texture, loose braids, and flyaways embraced rather than fought.”
King says that the appearance of "effortless ease with intention" most accurately characterizes the bohemian hairstyle for autumn/winter 25. The emphasis is on movement and texture rather than immaculate precision, characterized by delicate bends, light layers, subtle braids, and a natural texture—hair that appears lived-in and free-spirited yet still contemporary, he notes.
Enhance the Texture
Body and texture are essential concepts to consider while discussing bohemian hair, with the objective of enhancing its appeal. “For curly or coily textures, boho emphasizes definition and freedom,” advises King, hence it is essential to dry your hair in a manner that amplifies its natural volume.
Utilize the diffuser attachment of your hairdryer to dry curls gently, concluding with Dyson Omega oil or a luxurious leave-in treatment to moisturize and enhance shine, allowing the curls to flourish vibrantly.
For gentler waves or straighter hair types, it is advisable to utilize texture-enhancing products. “Style on Steroids by Color Wow enhances volume and texture without burdening the hair — additionally, it serves as a heat protectant for achieving refined face-framing waves with a curling iron or straightener,” states Lago.
For a glossy, beach-inspired bohemian finish, she identifies the Redken Beach Spray as essential. “It enhances luster and mitigates frizz, resulting in a smooth, natural texture.” As a professional recommendation, apply the mist to your hands initially, then scrunch it through the lengths to prevent clumping.
She is also an avid admirer of Sam McKnight's Texture Mist. “A light application through the mid-lengths and ends suffices; a small amount is remarkably effective,” she adds. Indeed, a greater mass is preferable.
Consider the Boho Lob
Boho hair typically evokes visions of long, flowing tresses; however, King advocates for a more refined, abbreviated variant: the boho lob. “It is autumn's remedy for excessively polished hair: softer, more liberated, and cooler,” he states, noting its exceptional efficacy with finer or straighter hair types.
To accomplish this, "utilize the Dyson Supersonic r with its concentrator nozzle to smooth the cuticle while maintaining volume at the root," advises King. “Subsequently, incorporate a subtle bend in the mid-lengths; the Dyson Corrale can be utilized on a low heat setting to achieve this curvature without damaging the ends. Conclude with a lightweight texture spray to prevent a lack of volume.”
Adopt Baby and Boho Braids
Braids effortlessly integrate into the bohemian aesthetic in many manners, and this season offers plenty inspiration. For coily hair, consider boho braids: a casual, unrefined interpretation of conventional braid styles—envision a solitary braid loosely draped across the jawline, complemented by wavy hair down the lengths.
For wavy hair, "incorporate two or three small braids at the hairline or mid-lengths for a bohemian touch," advises King, "and if you desire a touch of refinement, glide the Corrale over the ends to soften them." Alternatively, for more linear tresses, choose for a low braid, which not only introduces texture but also aligns seamlessly with the bohemian aesthetic, according to Lago.
