Now is the perfect time to try the haircut you’ve been wanting, knowing that hair can always be grown out or switched up.
These versatile trends have something for everyone, whether you’re looking for a bold transformation or a more subtle update.
Butterfly hair


If you’re thinking about going short but aren’t quite ready for the full commitment, the butterfly haircut could be the perfect compromise.
It features shorter layers that create volume and the illusion of shorter hair, while longer layers fall just below the shoulders.
Designed by Biolage global ambassador Sunnie Brook, this cut is especially flattering for those with wavy or curly hair.
The soft bob
The soft bob presents a more relaxed and laid-back take on the classic bob. Unlike the typically sharp, straight lines of a traditional bob, this style embraces the natural flow and texture of your hair.
Ideal for those with a natural wave, it enhances texture and movement, while also adding volume for those with finer hair.


Long layers
Although shorter cuts are trending, long, layered hair continues to be a classic and versatile option. Layers add volume and movement, especially for naturally wavy or textured hair.
Low-maintenance and adaptable as hair grows, this style offers plenty of styling options, making it an enduring favorite.


Chanel haircut
The Chanel bob puts a modern spin on Coco Chanel’s iconic bob, usually with a blunt cut around the chin or slightly longer, giving it a fluid, effortless feel.
Featuring a pronounced side part and often paired with Parisian-inspired bangs, this hairstyle is both elegant and alluring.
Its charm lies in its simplicity, offering sophistication while being easy to maintain.


Octopus haircut
The octopus cut, inspired by the shape of its namesake sea creature, features abundant layers and volume on the top, with longer layers flowing over or beyond the shoulders.
A modern twist on the shag and mullet, this trendy style offers both visual appeal and low-maintenance wear, as it doesn’t require extensive styling.


Wolf cut
The wolf cut, a blend of the shag and mullet, has gained significant popularity, especially with TikTok users attempting it at home.
This style adds volume to the crown while creating movement and texture along the sides and bottom, making it a perfect choice for those seeking a bold, textured look with plenty of volume.


The pixie
This year, the spotlight is on short hair, especially with different takes on the classic pixie cut.
Celebrities like Zoe Kravitz, Halsey, Charlize Theron, and Florence Pugh showcase how flattering and versatile the pixie can be.
Whether with elongated bangs, a bit more length in the back, or a crisp, short cut, the pixie style is set to be a major trend.


Wispy bangs
Wispy bangs are making a strong return, and it’s easy to see why. They add a soft, flowing touch to any hairstyle and are universally flattering.
Celebrity stylist Nubia Rëzo highlights their popularity as a low-maintenance option compared to blunt bangs, as mentioned in Real Simple.
If you’re thinking about bangs this year, wispy bangs are a great choice for a chic and effortless look.


Short shag
The shag cut is no longer exclusive to long hair — shorter versions can also rock this style.
It’s a great option for those wanting to go shorter without committing to a pixie or bob.
This shag haircut offers impressive movement and works well with all hair types.


Curtain bang short bob
Curtain bangs add a soft, feminine touch to a sleek, straight bob.
Stylist Anabel Santos shared with Bustle that “a blunt bob, or a bob with uniform length, becomes more charming with curtain bangs,” and we completely agree.
These bangs not only enhance the overall look but also bring more styling versatility to a short bob, opening up a range of new possibilities.


Mid-length hair
A key trend is mid-length cuts that emphasize texture and enhance natural waves.
This approach not only creates a visually appealing look but also makes styling and maintenance easier.
Additionally, the bombshell blowout is making a comeback this year and pairs perfectly with mid-length hair for a glamorous finish.


Full curls
It’s time to embrace voluminous, lively curls as they take the spotlight this year! After years of straight hair dominance, curls are making a striking comeback, looking more captivating than ever.
With the surge of online tutorials encouraging people to embrace their natural curls, this trend is gaining momentum.
To make it even more fashionable, adding a fringe is set to be a popular choice, giving your curls a stylish and bold flair.


Curtain bangs
Curtain bangs continue to be a top choice for good reason. These elongated, face-framing bangs flatter almost everyone and work well with various hair lengths and textures.
Their versatility allows for a subtle yet impactful change, adding dimension to one-length hair without needing a drastic transformation.


The curly shag
The shag hairstyle is incredibly versatile, working well with different hair types. It provides volume at the top while helping manage bulk along the sides and ends.
Adding a curly fringe is another trendy touch for the year, enhancing facial features and adding a playful flair to the overall look.


The textured bob
The textured bob is a sleek yet low-maintenance style, adding movement to a classic bob by texturizing the ends without requiring heavy layering.
Celebrity hairdresser Jay Birmingham notes that it’s an edgy, versatile choice that suits different face shapes and hair textures, offering a flattering look for all.
This style is perfect for those looking for an effortlessly chic appearance with minimal upkeep.


Bottleneck bangs
Bottleneck bangs are a standout trend, featuring bangs that start tightly at the forehead and gently flare outward to frame the face.
This style offers a softer, more gradual take on bangs, making it ideal for those who want to experiment with bangs without committing to a full, heavy fringe.
Its low-maintenance nature makes it a popular choice for many.


The curve cut
The curve cut is a versatile style that works well with both long and short hair, making it perfect for those growing their hair out.
With its ‘U’ or ‘V’ shaped cut and soft layers, the hair naturally curves around the face, creating a graceful and flattering shape.
Whether worn up or down, the curve cut remains stunning, highlighting its adaptability and ease of styling.


Mix and match cuts
According to professional hairstylist Paul Percival, a notable trend is the rise of DIY haircuts, with individuals blending different styles to create unique looks.
As highlighted in Glamour, cuts like the shag or wolf cut could evolve into the octopus cut, and the mullet combined with the shag could give birth to the “shullet.”
The growing influence of platforms like TikTok encourages people to experiment with their hair, embracing bold and creative transformations.


The jaw-length bob
The jaw-length bob is a standout for a short haircut.
As editorial hairstylist Neil Moodie shared with Refinery29, bobs continue to remain popular, with their focal point evolving each season.
Currently, the jawline-length bob is the most in-demand style.
This versatile cut is perfect for spring and summer and transitions seamlessly into fall and winter, maintaining its charm throughout the year.


Wednesday Addams-inspired fringe
The influence of pop culture on hair trends is evident, especially with the growing demand to recreate the hairstyle from Netflix’s Wednesday series.
Actress Jenna Ortega’s portrayal of Wednesday Addams, featuring bold bangs just beneath the eyebrows, has sparked a wave of interest.
As bangs continue to dominate this year’s trends, this specific fringe has quickly become one of the most coveted styles.


The choppy bob
If you’re considering ditching extensions or cutting your long, flowing waves for a fresh new look, the choppy bob is the perfect option—and now is the ideal time to book that salon appointment.
According to Look Fantastic, searches for the “chopped bob haircut” are among the most popular trends right now.
This style is not only chic but also low-maintenance, offering a perfect balance of style and ease.


Short afro
Choosing the short afro combines a simplified hair routine with a striking look. This style offers enough length to create finger waves or a bold deep side part for dramatic flair.
At the same time, the short cut highlights the natural texture of your hair, making it the perfect choice for showcasing its inherent beauty.


Shaggy bowl cut
The shaggy bowl cut is gaining popularity for its blend of simplicity and style. By adding subtle layers to the classic bowl cut, it introduces movement and texture.
This versatile style can be customized to suit your preferences and hair type, allowing you to adjust the number of layers for your desired level of shagginess.


The mixie
The mixie cut, a combination of the mullet and pixie cut, is one of the standout trends this year.
As hairstylist Jamie Wiley notes, this style effortlessly merges vintage and modern influences, creating a striking look that embodies both retro and contemporary aesthetics.
Its blend of boldness and versatility has made it a popular choice.


’70s-inspired layers
The revival of past hair trends continues to captivate, with ’90s and Y2K influences gaining momentum alongside a return to ’70s-inspired styles.
Voluminous, cascading layers reminiscent of Farrah Fawcett’s iconic look are making a comeback.
If you prefer longer hair, adding layers to embrace this retro vibe offers a perfect balance of nostalgia and modern style.
