In order to take care of this appearance, I would recommend applying a gloss treatment at least once in a few weeks to maintain the shine of brunette color and using a frizz fighting serum such as Kerastase Elixir Ultime to keep the hair stylish when wearing a hat and scarves. The deep part implies that the hair is falling on its own, hence a fantasy on a morning when you are not that much at a loss of time.
The best thing about this haircut is that it is versatile. It mixes casual knits, structured blazers or festive dresses. Jen Atkin, the celebrity stylist who has been seen sporting bobs her whole life has frequently mentioned that bobs are eternal, and this iteration makes it by ensuring that it is never going out of style in 2025.
And be true to yourself, who does not appreciate the cut that goes as well on brunch as it does on a holiday cocktail party?
Playful Pastel Waves
Pastels are not only spring trends, but one of the strongest color trends into winter 2025. Airy soft waves of pink are romantic, playful, and surprisingly easy to wear, particularly when combined with elegant winter dresses short or long. This glance serves to remind that hair can be as much an accessory as jewelry or make-up.
Pastel colors need some additional care, and in this case, I would suggest a color-depositing conditioner such as the Pink Coloring Conditioner by Overtone to maintain the color between the visits to the salon. Hydration masks that are used weekly also help to keep the bounce soft.
Pastel colors are so refreshing during winter as it is at the time of winter because it is up against dark coloured coats and cloudy skies. Perry, a famous colorist, has frequently stated that fantasy shades are all about self-expression and it is very close to the heart. Age 40 and above, why not have a little fun?
This fashion is best matched with a little makeup and a bright lipstick- balance everything and leave your hair to speak.
Blue Modern Bob
In case pink is not your color, another trend that will shine in 2025 is icy blues. A bob with shiny lines in an intense blue color gives winter outfits vibrancy and provides a futuristic touch to old fashion. It is bold and sophisticated and it is all the more stylish with glasses and pristine tailoring.
To keep such a bold colour, it is necessary to invest in a colour-safe shampoo (Pureology Hydrate Shampoo is one of my favourites) and to avoid fading, it is important to avoid using much heat to style hair. A shine spray is used to improve the reflectiveness of the blue tones.
I am fond of the fact that this appearance is a blend of style and art. It is not all about fitting in, it is about standing up and being proud of your unique self. Hairstylist Guy Tang, who has been seen sporting wild colors, has always pointed out that confidence is the ingredient to wearing bold colors and I can concur with him.
This bob should be matched with monochrome clothes blonde or gray to make the color prominent. It is trendy, strong and infinitely contemporary.
Salt-and-Pepper Dimension Bob
Salt-and-pepper hair has also been one of the fashionable winter hairstyles amongst women in their 40s. Blended with more intense shades, a layered bob with non-artificial streaks of silver adds depth and volume that is both natural and non-artificial. It is a style that puts emphasis on natural beauty and also provides structure and volume.
To add to this appearance, I suggest a silver-brightening shampoo topped with a light leave-in conditioner such as It’s a 10 Miracle Leave-In to keep his hair dry in winter. The dimensional tones can also be brought out a few soft waves produced with a curling wand.
I think this cut of the hair is in the right balance of being both natural and stylish. It is mature and yet appears to be an extremely modern one. Jack Martin, who frequently uses salt-and-pepper blends, claims that this technique makes hair look not accidental but rather purposeful, and that is precisely what makes it unique.
I can imagine this style to be coupled with warm-up knits, fancy earrings, and topped coats. It is ancient, effortless and such a beauty that is real.
Rounded Blonde Bob with Fringe
A rounded blonde bob with a gently cut fringe is somehow wonderfully timeless. The framing of the face is the most flattering and immediately chic and polished. This haircut is one of the most elegant yet casual cuts mothers of 40 and above the age can have in winter. The blonde color enhances the complexion in a lovely way that is one of the favourite colours in 2025.
To keep the round shape trim every six weeks will be necessary, and a light blow-dry cream such as Living Proof Perfect Hair Day will be ideal to produce the smoothness. The fact that the blonde tones may drift towards the brassy side will make me also suggest a purple toning shampoo to maintain the color cool and icy throughout the season.
In my case, it is a tribute to Parisian elegance. It is contemporary but vintage as it reminds me of the minimal shapes at Vogue runways. Serge Normant, a celebrity hairstylist once stated that bangs and bobs make the wearer feel more like a celebrity and I could not agree more.
You can also style this haircut under hats without much of a fuss which is something we all tend to reach during the winter. It is timelessly practical, regardless of whether it is combined with cozy knits or sharp coats, and it is one of my best ideas on how to update your appearance.
Platinum Luxe Lob
Platinum lob is your friend in case you love length and want structure. It falls at precisely the collarbone, and is smooth but contemporary, with the icy blonde color trend being among the most vibrant of 2025. It is smooth, sure and very glistening without showcasing.
I use hydrating products such as the Olaplex No. 3 Hair Perfector to maintain the platinum colors bright in winter. Scarves and sweaters may also contribute to the dullness of the appearance and one way to fix it would be by applying a finishing oil such as the Moroccanoil Treatment, which can be used to style flyaway hair and provide it with the desired shine.
I like this haircut because it is balanced; neither too long nor too short, and never seems careless. Hairstylist Rita Hazan has repeatedly mentioned that blonde hair is an automatic reflector of light, and I could not concur with her statement more—blonde does indeed lighten up winter clothes, either short or formal.
Imagine it on a faux-fur jacket and dramatic makeup on a date out at the holidays, or on a flat and greasy office appearance. It is versatile, bold, and one of the most luxe pixie cuts substitutions to be worn by women that retain length.
Feathered Shag with Wispy Bangs
The feathered shag has returned with a huge revival and by 2025, it is among the hottest hairstyles recreated as a volumized and soft style. The wispy bangs combined with textured feather cuts provide a playful appearance that gives volume and depth, and suits best any woman in her 40s who wants something new.
A shag is all about texture. A sea salt spray, such as Ouai Wave Spray, is magic in creating the lived-in look. I would also use a lightweight leave-in conditioner to ensure that the strands are not dried by the indoor heating.
Personally, I believe that the feathered shag is rebellious in the most positive sense. Sally Hershberger, the inventor of the modern shag has been quoted saying that it is a haircut with personality, and that is the secret behind its brightness.
This haircut is cool effortlessly with black turtlenecks, leather jackets, or layered knits. It is one of these concepts that can provide an immediate edge without overdoing it.
Silver-Framed Bob with Layers
The silver hair has never been so stylish. A natural silver layered bob with face-framing highlights is both elegant and sophisticated, which is why it can be counted among the best winter hair cuts in females aged over 40. It is smooth but dynamic, a look that praises natural shades and maintains the overall silhouette as that of youth.
