Hair trends come and go, and as far as the universe is concerned, there are at least two that need to be put on a shelf in 2025. These two hairstyles have reached their limits in terms of how they impress us and now that every celeb has rocked these and at least two people you know have experimented with them in real life, they’ve become slightly tiresome.
That isn’t to say they are bad haircuts — they’re actually quite chic and can go magical things to your hair, especially if it’s on the thinner side. But if you’re searching for cuts that are updated and on-trend, avoid these two because they’re going out of style fast. Here are five to try instead in 2025
Struggling With Sleep? This Rechargeable Sound Machine Is A Total Game-Changer
Avoid: Really Shaggy Cuts
Extremely shaggy haircuts have had their time in the sun these past few years, but multiple layers and a combination of so many short and longer layers is beginning to look a little been-there-done-that.
Avoid: Sleek Bob
The bob is one of our favorite universally flattering haircuts, and it’s an excellent length for women over 50. But the sleek, one-layer bob that celebs like Hailey Bieber helped make huge in the last few years is in need of an update. In other words, keep the bob, but change the way it is styled.
Try: Bob with Birkin Bangs
Inspired in part by ‘60s actress and singer Jane Birkin, the bob with Birkin bangs has a chic Frenchness about it that gives ordinary bobs an exciting spin. This is a great cut for anyone with fine or thin hair as the bangs create the appearance of more hair by your crown.
Try: Elevated Italian Bob
Another bob to try: an elevated Italian bob bursting with waves and volume. This cut is characterized by its blunt ends and minimal layering that gives it a heavier texture.
Sweeping Curtain Bangs
When Kate Middleton wants a little change in her hairstyle, she doesn’t go big, but she will cut sweeping curtain bangs into her long, layered hair that provide instant volume and a retro-cool appeal. Curtain bangs are meant to start off shorter in the front and gradually extend until they meet your hair’s longest layer to provide an overall cohesive look.
Long Lived-In Layers
Embrace the beauty of casual imperfection with long layers that appear slightly mussed-up and lived in. When paired with medium-length or longer hair these layers provide texture and more volume.
Blunt Lob
The blunt bob may be temporarily on hiatus, but the blunt lob is going strong. This cut features strong angles around the face (and is often longer in the front than the back) with ends that stop at around the collarbone. The lob has been popular for a fe years, but it shows no sign of cooling down yet. This style is perfect for thin hair and anyone looking for a polished haircut that isn’t too short.
