2025 brings a range of exciting hair trends, but some might not be as universally flattering as they seem. After combing through insights from top sources like Vogue, Glamour, and Cosmopolitan, here’s a breakdown of the most buzzworthy styles, who they’re perfect for, and who might want to avoid them.

Trend #1: Pixies

Pixie cuts are back, and they’re all about bold designs with extra volume. Popular variations include super-short lengths and hard side parts with longer lengths.

Who It’s For:

Great for all hair types.
Perfect for highlighting cheekbone structure.

Who Should Skip It:

If your hair is very thick, avoid excessive bulk on the sides to prevent an unflattering “dog-ear” effect.

Trend #2: The Crop

This in-between style combines elements of a French bob and a pixie cut, often with shorter lengths and subtle beveling in the back.

Who It’s For:

Ideal for medium to fine hair textures.
Works well for those comfortable with frequent trims to maintain the shape.

Who Should Skip It:

If you have thick hair and prefer a sleek, one-length look, this style may add too much volume in unwanted areas.

Trend #3: Textured Lob

The textured lob (long bob) moves away from chin-length cuts to lengths around the collarbone or longer. This style features layers for added movement.

Who It’s For:

Medium to thick hair textures with a natural wave are perfect for this look.
It’s great for adding volume and softness to straight or slightly wavy hair.

Who Should Skip It:

Fine, straight hair may look wispy with too much layering at the ends.

Pro Tip: Use texturizing sprays or curling tools to enhance the movement. Here are some of my favorites.

Trend #4: Blunt Midi

The blunt midi is essentially a long bob with no layers. This polished style is known for its clean lines and sharp angles.

Who It’s For:

Perfect for fine hair that benefits from the blunt ends for a thicker appearance.

Who Should Skip It:

If your hair is thick or grows unevenly, maintaining the sharp edges can be high-maintenance.

Trend #5: Tousled Medium Length (aka The Shag or Rachel)

Inspired by the ‘90s, this style is all about layered, tousled movement. It’s ideal for those looking to create volume and texture.

Who It’s For:

Thick hair or medium textures with natural movement.
Fine hair can pull this off if the layers are shorter and closer to the neckline.

Who Should Skip It:

If your hair is board-straight, achieving the look will require significant effort with styling tools.

Final Thoughts

While these hair trends are fun and fresh, they’re not one-size-fits-all. Consider your hair texture, face shape, and maintenance preferences before diving in.
