12 Trendy Hairstyles to Rock Your Everyday Style

Hairstyles are always changing, with some trends destined to stick and others fading quickly. From runway inspiration to everyday looks, today’s selection brings the hairdos set to define the season — and a bonus featuring a super fresh 2026 hairdo you can try right now.

1. Wolf cut

The wolf cut, once hugely popular, is now losing its appeal due to its choppy, shaggy layers and mullet-inspired shape, as stylists point out that it only suits certain face shapes and requires constant maintenance. In 2025, the focus is on classic, easy-to-manage styles with soft layers or sleek shapes that offer volume and movement without demanding too much daily styling.

2. Ultra-long waves

Ultra-long hair naturally draws attention, and in 2025, the trend is to enhance it with a magical touch. Celebrity hairstylist Jenny Cho recommends creating soft, delicate waves to give the hair a romantic and whimsical appearance.

3. Polished shag

Consider this the upscale version of the shaggy bob that was trendy in 2023. “This haircut is ideal for those tired of their basic bob or shag and want something more refined,” says Wade-Smith. The longer, straighter layers give it a polished look, while the bottle shape and flipped ends add a touch of flair. Its simplicity makes it easy to style and maintain.

For the standard version, ask your stylist for internal layers at the bottom to add volume and movement. For a sultrier look, especially for thinner hair, request longer layers from the crown to the nape. To add drama, consider wispy bangs and flipped ends for a retro vibe.

4. Rounded bob

Looking to refresh your blunt bob? Adding soft, rounded edges can give it a contemporary update. Celebrity stylist Lacy Redway embraces this rounded bob style as a key trend moving into 2025. At the same time, blunt bangs are giving way to softer, more textured options, including wispy, airy styles and variations like curtain or baby bangs.

5. Curly pixie

Short pixies are coming strong in 2025 and pack plenty of attitude. The curly pixie highlights natural texture and draws attention to the eyes, cheekbones, and jawline. Models like Jourdan Dunn are a reference for this cut, which is both strong and feminine.

6. 90-s style

Hairstylists Rozenberg and Redway predict that the classic supermodel blowout, reminiscent of Cindy Crawford and Kate Moss, will be trending again in 2025. Look forward to full, bouncy hair with that effortlessly glamorous vibe everyone loves.

7. Layers

If you’re looking for a flattering cut that frames your face beautifully, butterfly layers are a great choice.
This style creates soft, flowing movement with layered pieces around the face. For extra volume and shape, ask your stylist to cut the layers so they gradually get longer as they move away from your face.

To style it for maximum lift, use a round brush dryer and a touch of light mousse. Blow-dry your bangs forward, then sweep them away from your face — that’s the key to achieving the signature butterfly effect.

8. ’70s bangs

Bangs have been a major trend in recent years, especially for those who have embraced curtain bangs for an extended period. Stylist Cho anticipates a change, forecasting that Jane Birkin-inspired bangs will become popular, offering a soft and romantic update to the fringe. While blunt bangs can make a strong style statement, experts note they may not suit everyone, particularly as we get older, since thick, straight-across bangs can highlight fine lines around the eyes and create a harsher look.

9. Ultra-short bob

Extreme asymmetrical cuts were trendy for a time, but they can age your appearance. Their sharp, uneven lines often draw attention to facial imperfections and create a harsher look, which can make the overall style feel heavier and less youthful.

Bobs have remained the most popular short hairstyle, dominating social media throughout 2024. Trends are now shifting toward even shorter versions, with cuts that fall at the chin gaining attention for their modern, chic appeal. Celebrity hairstylist Jacob Rozenberg points to his recent bob for Lily Collins as an example of this style, achieving a polished, French-girl-inspired look.

10. Bixie cut

Say hello (again) to the bixie — the 90s-inspired cut that’s trending hard with Gen Z.
This short, chic hybrid of a bob and a pixie is making waves on TikTok, but it’s not new to those who remember the original style icons of the ’90s. Worn by stars like Drew Barrymore, Halle Berry, and Winona Ryder, the bixie was a go-to look in salons back then — and now, it’s back in a big way. Much like the flicked bob and other nostalgic styles, the bixie is re-emerging as one of the standout hair trends of the year.

11. Long bob

The long bob is considered more adaptable than the classic bob, maintaining length around the neck and shoulders while subtly covering areas that may feel vulnerable. Its vertical lines help create the impression of a longer neck and face, enhancing the overall appearance.

Bonus: Slicked Back

Inspired by designers’ runway shows, this hairdo reflects the hair trends set for 2026. At the same time, it’s easy to adapt for daily wear right now.

A key hairdo inspired by Australian designer Christopher Esber combines structure with softness, featuring slicked-back styling and carefully sculpted sides for a polished yet effortless look.
