Your new hairstyle makes you look so much younger!
Softer Wet Look
The hard-gelled, sleek, and shiny wet look has been replaced by a softer, more organic style. Inspired by Sydney Sweeney and Kelsea Ballerini, this new wet look emphasizes gentle tousling, as if styled by ocean wind and waves. Natural hair texture and movement are key to achieving this look.
Shoulder-Skimming Bobs
A wave of new bobs is sweeping Hollywood, with young starlets like Gigi Hadid, Halle Bailey, Elle Fanning, and Lori Harvey leading the trend. These bobs, which either skim or clear the shoulders, work for every hair type. This versatile cut can be styled with different parts or textures, allowing for a fresh, personalized look.
Side-Slicked Bangs
Side bangs are making a comeback, paired with the often-neglected side part. Celebrities like Yara Shahidi, Hailee Steinfeld, and Ice Spice are showcasing this trend. When styled neat and high-shine, side-slicked bangs add a formal, intentional touch to any hairstyle, whether the hair is up in a bun or left loose.
Pumped-Up Volume
Inspired by the “horse-girl” beauty trend popularized by Beyoncé and Bella Hadid, pumped-up volume is all about verticality. Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez exemplify this look. To achieve it, apply volumizing spray or mousse to towel-dried hair, blow dry upside down for added height, and then style as desired.
Butterfly Haircut
This style combines face-framing and long layers to create volume and movement. It’s versatile, offering a layered, sexy look that can be worn both down and up in a clip. It’s really accessible long hair, broken up to create that sexy volume that we all want,” she shares, noting that at the end of a butterfly haircut she often throws her client’s hair up in a claw clip so she can customize the face-framing strands to the their exact taste. “The butterfly haircut is period-ed for that look; you can wear it down, but when you throw it up it’s not a mess. It’s cute.
