Trend: Hottest winter cuts with Anthony Nader
There is an elegant ease to the cuts defining cool girl hair this winter.
Nothing overwrought, or that announces itself too loudly. Anthony Nader (from Sydney’s iconic RAW Anthony Nader in Surry Hills) has spent decades tending to the locks of the Aussie cool girl, beauty editors and international celebrities alike, and for Winter 2026 brings his seasonal edit down to four distinct silhouettes. Be it bangs worn with deliberate looseness, a pixie that has been left to its own beautiful devices, the 70s-inflected French girl/rocker bob, and an effortless supermodel-off-duty length, this season’s roundup of top cuts proves that in 2026 the coolest cut refuses to try too hard.
Which, of course, is the whole point.
LONG, LIVED IN BANGSMuse: Lou Doillon
“I’m such a lover of bangs anyway of every shape and length, but mostly this season I’m leaving them looking ‘deliberately undone’,” explains Anthony. “It’s effortless, feathered and quietly transformative.”
“Length and density can be customized to suit most face shapes and works beautifully on fine hair as it does thicker textures.”
THE GROWN OUT PIXIEMuse: Mathilda Gvarliani
“Like, really grown out… Even on the verge of a softly layered bob! Winter is the time for wavy textured manes to grow into an editorial/ runway feel and less precise.”
“What also needs to be embraced this season when styling, is letting your waves look more ‘accidental’ rather than perfectly curled with a tong.”
70’S SOFT BOBMuse: Anja Rubik
“This haircut works particularly well on medium – thick hair strands that have a natural wave or texture. It falls around the collarbone, and the baseline is feathered (not cut blunt) as well.”
“The styling is inspired by French girl meets rockstar. This woman is relaxed, sexy and effortless.”
THE MODERN SUPERMODEL HAIRCUTMuse: Kaia Gerber
“Think healthy, expensive looking and of course that effortlessly model-off duty vibes. Keep the part line centered – but not too centered – add a few soft kisses of internal layering and gentle face framing, forego the height on top now and you are set to perform!”
