Hair trends come and go, just like fashion. Lately, celebrity stylists have been setting the stage for a fresh wave of haircuts that are bound to be this year’s biggest hits. If you’ve been thinking about switching up your look, now’s the perfect time to start planning—by spring, you could be rocking a whole new style.
Michelle Williams has long been known for her signature pixie cut, but now, more and more runway models are embracing the ultra-short look. If you’re ready for a bold change or already love short styles, the micro pixie is an effortless choice. Just make sure to have a good texturizing product on hand to give your hair that perfectly tousled finish.
For the past couple of years, the lob—a slightly longer, A-line bob—has been the go-to style, offering the beachy waves of long hair in a shorter, collarbone-grazing cut. This year, the bob is taking on a French-inspired twist with an ear-length crop and mini bangs. It’s not quite straight, not quite wavy, but a quick flick of a curling iron adds just the right amount of curve to create a chic, effortless look.
If you’ve been growing out your lob and don’t want to commit to a major chop, the mid-length trend is for you. Instead of a drastic cut, opt for a light trim to refresh your layers without losing too much length. Keep styling easy with a beach waver or a clipless curling wand—soft, wispy curls in different directions will give your hair that relaxed, Instagram-worthy vibe.
Long, sleek hair is making a comeback, thanks to Kim K. and her crew channeling their inner Cher. Whether you’re working with your natural length or adding extensions, this style is all about a sharp, straight-across cut. A high-quality straightener will be your best friend to keep your locks smooth, shiny, and ultra-polished.
For those with curls, now is the time to embrace volume and shape. A full, shoulder-length cut that frames the face enhances natural texture beautifully. To keep your curls looking their best, invest in curl-conditioning products and a diffuser—this will help define and control your curls while maintaining that fresh-from-the-salon bounce.
