Interested in a hair makeover? Gentlemen looking to improve their 'dos need look no further, as a key style soars in popularity.
The "Old Money Haircut" has emerged as 2025's biggest men's hair trend, with Google searches soaring by 122 per cent over the past year.
The style now generates 5,000 monthly queries, according to exclusive insights shared with beauty and wellness booking app Fresha.
In conversation with Fresha, celebrity barber Nat Bury explained that the aesthetic encompasses a variety of "classic and timeless" looks. It is not one single chop, but rather an embodiment of enduring elegance as opposed to fleeting trends.

While the "Old Money Haircut" has "always been stylish", it is truly having its moment in 2025.
For those keen to give it a go, Nat recommends a look that features a quiff for "height and volume", and a pompadour that sweeps hair upwards and backwards "to create a voluminous pomp". The sides and back should be tapered.
The barber emphasised that achieving the look requires a precision mid-length scissor cut.
"The hair should look well-kept but not too done," he noted, adding that it works best on thick, wavy hair as it "needs to have flow to look effortless to encapsulate the old money feel".
The style is often worn parted on the side or centre, with loosely styled curtains.
"Clients often mention Timothée Chalamet as inspiration," the hair guru divulged. But if you're unsure about what to request, ask for a "mid-length scissor cut with flow" - and make sure to bring a reference photo.
As for maintaining the look day-to-day, Nat recommended a "less is more" approach.
The hair guru stressed that product use should be "minimal" and definitely not "noticeable".
For the perfect "old money" look, Nat advised: "Start by blow-drying with a prep spray and a vented brush to add volume and shape elegant waves, especially if that's not your natural texture.
"Then, use your fingers to style it with a light pomade or cream, just enough to smooth out any frizz.

"The result should look slightly tousled, but the hair itself needs to feel soft, polished, and touchably smooth."
He provided a word of warning, though: a common mistake when trying to recreate the look at home is making it look wet.
"It shouldn't look wet, and it needs to move a bit," the expert said. "But other than that, it's mostly about the quality of the hair itself.
"If yours has a bit of length and is healthy and flowing, it will give off that old money confidence you’re looking for."
