If you’re interested in shorter locks, these are the styles to follow
Although long hair tends to receive most of the praise and attention among the masses, it is a fact that short hair is here to stay—at least in 2025. From gamine cuts and mullets to the coveted indie bob, here’s a roundup of short hair inspirations to show your hairdresser this year.
1. Layered bob
Ultra-flattering for women over 50, the layered bob is the perfect way to modernise your chevelure. With its clever mishmash of layered lengths, it sculpts the face by softening the chin and embellishing the forehead with its tapered fringe. The result: an unstructured short cut that’s definitely on trend.
2. Boyish or gamine cut
Androgynous, the boyish cut redefines the codes of femininity to enhance its aura tenfold in 2025. This hairstyle frees the nape of the neck and accentuates the eyes with its signature tapered mini fringe. Already adopted by Emma Stone at the start of the year, with her 60’s Pixie Cut version, the gamine cut is set to become a major trend in 2025.
3. Cub cut
After its breakthrough in 2023, the cub cut has returned to the forefront of the beauty scene in 2025! Inspired by the spirit of the cub, this cut is lighter and cheekier than the wolf cut—characterised by layers but this time, embellished with shortly cut edges, reminiscent of the freshness of a carré.
4. Micro bob
Without totally sacrificing length, this daring haircut undeniably adds a touch of elegance to your locks while further enhancing the chevelure’s overall silhouette.
5. Mullet cut
This is surely the riskiest cut in our list. And for good reason: with its vertical lines, the mullet cut is stripped of side lengths, leaving the nape of the neck and forehead exposed and clean. Modern and disruptive, this cut oozes panache.
6. Indie bob
Defined by its waves, the indie bob obviously echoes the return of the indie sleaze aesthetic that dominated the 2000s. With Kate Moss and Alexa Chung as its representatives, this trend was all about casual, grungy looks. A falsely unkempt aura from which the indie bob draws inspiration this year, with its waves and plunging effect adding a certain je ne sais quoi to your overall style.
