YouTube Hair Expert Glam Girl Gabi has a crucial question for all of us to consider: is this the year we’re finally going to find our signature haircut?
After so many hits and misses over the years, you may be ready to enter your ultimate “timeless” haircut era, complete with a new ‘do that makes the most of your hair type and showcases your gorgeous facial features the way they deserve to be highlighted.
The great news about the “hottest” 2025 haircuts is that they truly run the gamut from classic and easy to maintain to bold, sophisticated head-turners to cuts that are cute and creative. If you’re tired of your current cut and style and looking to kick things up a notch, these six haircuts are going to be burning hot this year.
1. Blunt Bob
The blunt bob has been trending for what feels like forever, Gabi says, but for a good reason: it’s a powerful cut. This one hits at the chin or a little below and is all about straight lines that create body and volume. You can pair it with a full, heavy fringe, curtain bangs, wispy bangs, or keep it all one length and keep the front long. It’s got plenty of style possibility, whether you want to keep it straight, make it wavy, or add curls. It’s best for fine-to-medium hair textures.
2. Fairy Cut
The fairy cut is a mid-length haircut that features “loads” of layering and a face-framing fringe. The majority of layers are around the face so that, if you wear your hair up and leave the layers out, it can actually look short. It gives a whimsical vibe and is a great choice for anyone who wants to retain some length, but not too much that drags down the face. This haircut works best for medium-to-thich hair textures.
3. 3-Tiered Layer
Although this one resembles the fairy cut, there are key differences. For starters, this is another mid-length cut, but it’s all one layer except for one shorter, face-framing layer. It can give a rocker edge and gives ‘90s vibes that are fairly low maintenance.
4. Carpenter Curtain Bangs
This one is named after (of course!) Sabrina Carpenter, who rocks her curtain bangs like no other. Curtain bangs have had a major moment already, but they’re still going strong. They suit everyone, are low maintenance and will grow out well, and you can wear them shorter in the middle or longer and framing the sides of your face.
5. Mixie
The mixie is a hybrid between the mullet and the pixie. It has the short sides and front of a pixie, with a touch of “bold drama” and length at the bottom, giving off an edgy vibe. This is a haircut for anyone who wants to push the envelope and it also requires a great hairstylist to nail it. It’s not super versatile, but it’s a super-cool look.
6. Triple XL Hair
Calling all of the long-hair enthusiasts: you’re going to flip over this trend: “super, super long hair.” This means waist-length or longer hair that looks healthy and shiny (and may require extensions to nail it). You can keep it straight, make it beachy with waves, or experiment with braids. It’s best for the thickest hair types that can carry the length. Fine hair beauties can fake it with (expensive and high-maintenance) extensions.
