New Year, New Look: Trendy Haircuts for 2025

As 2025 rolls in, it's time to refresh your style and embrace the hottest haircuts of the season. The defining theme for 2025? A fresh interpretation of classic trends that feel modern and individual. Think messy texture instead of precision cuts, natural movement over severe styling, and a celebration of your authentic self. Our amazing stylists have compiled a list of just some of the haircut trends you’ll see everywhere this year.

Fringe Forward: The Year of the Bangs

Bangs will continue to dominate hair trends in 2025, offering versatile options for every style preference. From curtain bangs to French-girl Birkin bangs, fringes are taking center stage.

• Birkin Bangs: Inspired by the iconic Jane Birkin, these soft, wispy bangs sit just above the eyes, offering a casual, effortlessly chic look. They’re perfect for enhancing natural texture and adding a touch of retro charm. 
• Skinny Fringe: Ideal for longer hairstyles, the skinny fringe is a subtle yet edgy option. This fine, face-framing fringe complements updos and ponytails beautifully, adding interest without overwhelming your features.   
• Heavy Fringe: If bold is your vibe, a dense, triangular bang cut into a strong squared outline is the way to go. This look thrives on thick, wavy hair, creating a standout style with full-bodied texture.

The Bob Renaissance

Bobs are back in a big way, but they’ve traded their sleek, polished reputation for something more relaxed and versatile.

• Undone Bob: This modern bob combines clean, blunt lines with soft, natural movement. It’s the perfect mix of structure and effortlessness, giving you a polished yet casual look.  
• Boxy Bob: For those craving sharpness, the boxy bob is a standout trend. Its one-length, blunt baseline exudes confidence and makes styling a breeze—whether you prefer a smooth paddle-brush finish or an air-dried, casual texture.  
• Layered Bob: Adding strategically placed layers to the bob enhances dimension and movement. This cut blends boldness with softness, offering a dynamic look that works for any occasion. 
• Banging Bob: Combine the timeless bob with statement bangs—like micro fringes or curtain bangs—for a modern twist. This pairing frames the face beautifully and adds a playful edge to a classic style.

Short and Sweet: The Boyish Crop

Cropped cuts are surging in popularity, offering bold, head-turning options for 2025.

• Boyish Pixie Crop: This daring, ultra-short style has been dominating runways, delivering an edgy, cool-girl vibe. It’s ideal for showcasing facial features and oozes confidence. 
• Grown-Out Pixie: For a softer approach, the grown-out pixie combines slightly longer layers with sculpted texture. This versatile style balances femininity and androgyny, making it a favorite for those who want short hair without going all-in.

Bohemian Spirit: ‘70s-Inspired Layers

The carefree energy of the 1970s continues to influence hair trends, with shaggy layers taking the spotlight.

• Choppy Layers: For longer hair, choppy layers inspired by ‘70s rock stars add texture and dimension while keeping the style modern. These layers sit perfectly alongside cheekbones, enhancing your natural features. 
• Shaggy Styles: Emphasizing mussy, organic texture over uniformity, shaggy styles work beautifully with a variety of hair textures, from straight to wavy. It’s all about effortless cool.

Au Naturale: Celebrating Authentic Texture

One of the most empowering trends of 2025 is the celebration of natural hair textures.

• Embracing curls, waves, and textured styles has become a defining movement, encouraging individuality and authenticity. From Afro styles to tousled waves, the focus is on enhancing your natural beauty rather than altering it with drastic treatments. 
• This trend is about self-expression, empowering people to embrace their natural selves and bring their unique beauty into every space they occupy.

Lengthy Looks: Lived-In Layers

For those who prefer long hair, lived-in layers are the ultimate low-maintenance yet stylish option.

• These soft, loose layers provide just the right amount of texture, giving your hair a natural, cool vibe as it grows out. 
• Inspired by laid-back L.A. style, lived-in layers are all about effortless beauty, making them an excellent choice for anyone looking to maintain length without compromising on style.

Sleek, Blunt Lobs

The blunt lob is another trend gaining traction, particularly for those with fine or thin hair.

While these trends are undeniably exciting, it’s essential to choose a cut that works for your unique face shape, hair type, and lifestyle. Share your style goals with your Glam Room stylist, and let your stylist tailor the cut to enhance your features and meet your needs.

Consider your lifestyle and the time you have to keep up with regular maintenance on your hairstyle. Some cuts, like the lived-in layers or the undone bob, require minimal upkeep, while others, like the boxy bob or heavy fringe, might need more frequent trims to maintain their shape.

A big trend this next year is to embrace your texture. Work with your natural hair texture rather than against it. This not only makes styling easier but also keeps your hair healthier.

Starting the year with a new look can boost your confidence, inspire a sense of renewal, and help you express your personality more authentically. Whether you’re making a bold change or simply refining your current style, a trendy haircut is the perfect way to step into 2025 with fresh energy.
