To say that 2024 has given us some major hair inspiration would be a moot point. From the gorgeous food-inspired hair colors (hello, latte brunette and cherry blonde) to trendy cuts like the choppy artichoke pixie to the many rich-girl and old-money looks, there’s certainly been something for everyone. But moving into the next year, stylists say things are about to get a little less gimmicky and a lot more real. “Overly styled and extreme looks are a thing of the past,” says Cesar Ramirez, celebrity stylist and L'Oreal Global Ambassador. Instead, the 2025 haircut trends are all about effortless styling and embracing a natural look. Ahead, three celebrity stylists share their predictions for the haircuts that will rule next year.

Long Layers
Layers are a quick way to upgrade your style and add dimension to your cut. There are lots of styles, but celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton notes that long, subtle layers are going to be the top look of 2025. He recommends opting for lengthy layers that will add a touch of volume and dimension when styled.

Flippy Bob
This particular style of bob leans into the nostalgic looks of the early aughts. It's defined by its longer length and little to no layers, which makes it ideal for creating sleek styles. With futuristic YK3 and Y2K styles continuing to be trendy, the flippy bob is a shoe-in for looks to try in 2025.

Wispy Bangs
Bangs have been wildly popular this year and will continue to be trendy moving into 2025. If you’re not ready to commit to a bold style, try opting for a wispy fringe instead. The softer style of bangs looks effortless and can even be customized to match the length of your hair.

Voluminous Cut
Classic voluminous blowouts will remain a staple hairstyle. Achieving the look starts with the right cut and styling tools. The layers should be deep enough to add volume without giving the hair too much texture. “Remember, this look is all about showcasing luscious and healthy hair,” says Ramirez. To nail it, the pro recommends investing in a lightweight hair dryer, like the AirLight Pro ($475), which helps add volume while keeping the hair smooth and sleek.

Blunt Bangs
According to Appleton, the blunt bang look is still going strong. Whether you have a short, cropped cut or long strands, you can rock a blunt bang with ease. The trick is getting a length and position that best flatters your face shape.

Natural Bob
If you’re searching for a more subtle cut that’s easy to style and maintain, the natural bob is the haircut for you. “It’s an effortless cut that requires little effort to achieve, yet has a soft, bouncy blowout look,” says Ramirez.

Pixie Cut
Few short haircuts have the commanding appeal of a pixie.There are a few different ways to embrace the cut, from cropped to choppy. However, as we move into the new year, Appleton says that a classic pixie cut will reign supreme. Unlike shorter versions, this one has a retro feel and offers versatile styling.

Curly Haircuts
Ramirez says that “2025 is the year to embrace your natural curls and texture.” If you’ve never tried a curly cut, now is the time to look into one. These types of haircuts are designed to show off your natural curl pattern and how well your curls can frame your face.

Italian Bob
The Italian bob "has a lot of volume at the root and leaves room for you to embrace some natural texture throughout the bob, giving it more of a modern edge,” says celebrity hairstylist and The Beachwaver Co. founder and CEO Sarah Potempa. In that vein, it’s the perfect cut for those looking for low-maintenance styling and the effortless look of a classic bob.

Birkin Bangs
“The Birkin bang is one of the most low-maintenance looks and works well with finer textures,” says Potempa. She explains that this style of fringe falls somewhere between a bold and wispy cut and has much more movement and finesse.
