Well, it’s that time of year.
As 2024 nears its end, most of us are probably finding ourselves looking forward to the new year.
What will 2025 bring?
For one thing, it may bring the opportunity for a bit of a glow-up.
After all, nothing screams “New year, new me” quite like a fresh trim.
Looking for some inspiration?
We’ve got you covered.
The jawline bob
It’s official the bob is back.
Nothing feels as good asditching your long mane in favor of a clean, light-weight bob.
Korab suggests being extra clear with your stylist to ensure you get the perfect jaw-grazing trim.
Celebrity hair stylist Michelle Cleveland also predicts the bob will dominate in 2025.
As celebrity hair stylist Michelle Cleveland notes,layers will probably never go out of style.
They can help to “remove weight from any cut and give it movement and a lived-in look.”
Once again, it’s important you take time with your stylist to verify you get the cut right.
Korab recommends asking for layers that go no higher than the chin.
Then, ask for the layers to be blended seamlessly throughout the hair.
Bangs
Bangs sometimes get a bad rap.
After all, we’ve all seen the TikTok horror stories, right?
“Women everywhere have a love/hate relationship with bangs,” Cleveland says.
As Cleveland notes, many different styles of bangs will be in next year.
Celebrity hair stylist Travis Ogletree also notes that “wispy bangs are always popular.”
As always, take your time to discuss your options with your stylist first.
Bring plenty of bangs reference pictures.
You probably imagine a messy, mop-like style that looks like you just rolled out of bed.
The “soft shag” is a less daring and more pulled-together option.
She suggests pairing your soft shaggy trim with curtain bangs.
Getting the perfect balance between glamorous and shaggy layers isn’t easy.
Start with long layers to “create a soft, shaggy texture,” as Korab puts it.
“Request texturizing techniques to enhance movement and lightness while avoiding excessive bulk.”
Finally, ask for center-parted curtain bangs that just reach your check bones to complete the look.
You may remember whenJenna Ortegawowed the world with her own version of this cut in December 2022.
And in 2025, it’s going to be all the rage.
Emphasize your desire for a bold, dynamic style with plenty of movement and texture."
And voila an edgy cut that is retro, fun, and daring.
The bixie cut
Looking for an extra bold new trim for the new year?
In 2025, the bob is going to be getting even shorter.
“If the bob and the pixie had a baby, this is the result,” Cleveland says.
Cleveland cites actors Michelle Williams and Halle Berry as pioneers of the bixie look.
But, of course, it has a long tradition in French cinema, too.
The gamine look is chic, daring, and timeless.
This is yet another style that requires a great stylist and careful planning.
Think full buzz cut.
As celebrity hair stylist Travis Ogletree explains, the look is more popular than ever.
These looks are strong, fierce, and unapologetic."
And yes, that’s any style of curl.
