We’ve already talked about the hair trends that will dominate this spring 2025, from cuts to hairstyles. But a new hairstyle is gaining more and more popularity: ghost waves. Long, soft waves that frame the face with a natural and boho-chic look. Did you know what ghost waves are? Anyway, you probably saw them on the it-girls of the momento.
What are ghost waves?
The term "ghost waves" was introduced by hairstylist Tom Smith on his social channels, describing these soft waves as an effortless look, ideal for achieving a natural and easy hairstyle. They are technically mermaid waves, but with a more relaxed and less defined effect, for a more spontaneous look.
How to create ghost waves at home
Recreating ghost waves is very simple: all you need is any straightener, preferably one specifically designed for waves. The key is to vary the position of the wave to achieve a natural effect, avoiding overly structured waves and focusing on a softer, more relaxed look. Finally, using a wide-tooth comb to "break" the shape of the wave will help you achieve the perfect result. It’s also possible to create ghost waves without using heat: simply braid your hair and leave it in for the whole night or for a few hours, making sure to apply an anti-frizz product beforehand.
Inspiration looks
Here are some ghost waves ideas to recreate: some softer and more natural, others with wider and voluminous waves. Whatever style you choose, the result will always be a simple and effortless look, perfect for the spring and summer season!
