Sophie Rose Gutterman Reveals the Ultimate Holiday 2025 Hair Edit: Which Trends to Try (and Skip)

Sleigh your vacation hair! Celebrity hairstylist Sophie Rose Gutterman, who has labored with Emmy Rossum, Nicky Hilton, Karlie Kloss, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jackie Tohn, is spilling her mane do’s and don’ts for the upcoming vacation season with ET.

While prepping for events can really feel irritating, Gutterman says protecting your strands low-key with high shine is crucial for a festive celebration.

“Start with moisture and leave-in product like the Curlsmith Moisture Memory Weightless Leave-In Release or Double Cream Deep Quencher to assure hydration and stop frizz. … Apply it to moist hair from the mid-lengths to ends and check out a slicked again bun. It’s a heatless model that appears to be like stylish and helps deal with the hair,” she explains.

If you need to take it up a notch while still letting your sparkly outfit shine, the hair skilled suggests leaning on simple equipment.

“Working with clothes is always recommended, but that doesn’t mean you have to completely tone it down. … While hair may sometimes have to take a back seat to a high collar or sequins, it’s still fun to create statements that speak beyond the wardrobe.”

Her choose this 12 months: “Balenciaga recently did a fashion show featuring tons of bows, and my client who attended wore one with a half-up style and face framing bangs. It was so fun.”

It’s also important to keep away from overdoing your locks so that you look good (and really feel good) while mingling.

“Limit the number of bobby pins you use. If it hurts while you’re styling, chances are you’ll have a headache by the end of the night and nobody wants that,” she notes.

Instead, go for the Root Boost Uplifting Spray to maintain your model lasting from cocktails to carols.

“Blow dry your hair with a good round brush, set it with clips, let it dry, take it down, and shake it out. You’re welcome for your new obsession,” she dishes.

But when you’re craving a bolder change as we head into 2026, the hairstylist believes bangs are the transfer.

“Don’t be scared of them! … They’re super cute with updos and make lived-in looks easier to style.”

And for a coloration shift, Gutterman suggests experimenting with a delicate semi-permanent shade.

“Looking for more warmth but not quite ready to go red? Ask your stylist for a toner. … Think of it as a lip-gloss for your hair.”

For a full new 12 months, new hair vibe, attempt a contemporary chop.

“If you are open to slicing your hair, I’m loving the Sydney Sweeney bob proper now! You can put on it so many different methods.”
