Crimped Hair Was Everywhere at the 2025 VMAs

Megan Skiendiel of girl group Katseye kept her take on the trend soft and natural, with loose crimps that gave her hair subtle texture and movement. The singer's signature face-framing money-piece highlights of pastel pink added dimension and made the look pop, proving how the style can feel fresh and modern with just a hint of color. To get a similar effect, swap a micro crimper for a wave tool like the Mane 1.2" Jumbo Hair Waver System ($98) or the BondiBoost Wave Wand 3-Barrel Hair Waver ($69), which create the kind of relaxed ridges that mirror Megan's effortless finish.
