The world of hair care has changed quickly in the last few years, and 2025 will be no different. People are trying all sorts of things to make their hair stronger, healthier, and shinier, from simple home remedies like rosemary oil and rice water to cutting-edge products for hair care made in a lab.
But the real question is, what works? What’s just hype?
Untoldnow writes this blog to help you understand the newest hairstyles in easy-to-understand words so you can pick the best one for your hair in 2025.

1- Rice Water—The Ancient Asian Secret Still Trending
We’ve had rice water before. For hundreds of years, Japanese and Chinese women with long, thick hair have used it. But it’s still going strong in 2025, with new brands putting out shampoos, sprays, and conditioners that are ready to use.
Why rice water is good for you:
High in vitamins and amino acids; helps fix damaged hair
makes hair smoother and shinier; gets rid of frizz
encourages hair growth.
What people do with it:
If you want to make it yourself, soak rice in water for a few hours and use it as a rinse. You can also buy items that are based on rice water that are easier to use and smell better.
However, does it effectively work for everyone? It doesn’t always work as intended. It might have too much protein for some people, which can make hair dry or stiff if used too much. Don’t use it every day; just once or twice a week.
2- Rosemary Oil – The New Hair Growth Hero
In the year 2025, rosemary oil has become the best thing for hair growth. Many people now swear by it after seeing videos that went viral on Instagram and YouTube. Even doctors agree that rosemary oil may help make the scalp have more blood flow and stop hair loss.
Why people like it:
• Natural and chemical-free
• Helps get rid of dandruff
• Stimulates hair cells
• Some studies show it may work as well as minoxidil (a drug for hair loss).
How to use it:
• Mix two to three drops with coconut or almond oil and massage into your hair.
• Let it sit for thirty to sixty minutes before washing.
• Do this twice or three times a week.
But keep in mind that essential oils are strong. If you put rosemary oil on your skin without mixing it with a base oil first, it could irritate or itch.
3- Lab-Grown Haircare—The Science of the Future?
Now comes the futuristic part: hair care items made in a lab. This isn’t like other shampoos. Labs use stem cells, bioactive peptides, and synthetic proteins to make them. They fix hair at the cellular level.
In 2025, the following high-end hair care brands will come out:
• Shampoos that are matched to your DNA
• Scalp bacteria sprays
• Protein-rich serums that copy the structure of your hair
• Keratin grown in a lab to fix damaged hair
These items are pricey, but they are made for people with serious hair problems like going bald too soon, hair that breaks easily, or hair loss after chemotherapy.
They say they will heal faster and better than natural oils or home treatments. But they are still new, and we don’t fully know what the long-term effects will be.
The good and bad things about rice water, rosemary oil, and lab-grown goods are all different. Rice water works best for broken or dull hair. But don’t use it too much, because it can make hair feel stiff. Rosemary oil can help with hair loss and acne, but it should always be mixed with a carrier oil to keep the skin from getting too sensitive. Lab-grown goods are expensive and still pretty new in India, but they look like the way of the future and could help with deep repair.
Rice water or rosemary oil might work well for you if you like natural and cheap options. But lab-grown products may give you new hope if you have serious hair problems and are willing to try high-end choices that are backed by science. Which trend is best for you relies on your hair type, how it looks now, and how you live your life.
Last Thoughts
In 2025, hair care is all about making it your own. Some people may not be able to use something that works for someone else. Know your hair type, problems, and way of life before you mindlessly follow trends.
Untoldnow thinks that the future of hair care is a mix of old and new methods. It doesn’t matter if you use Grandma’s rice water or a biotech product from a lab. The best results come from taking good care of your hair regularly.
It doesn’t matter what style you follow; always do a patch test first, don’t use too much, and see a dermatologist if you have any scalp problems.
After all, you should love and study your hair.
