Short hair dominated 2025, but the two cuts in particular that were seen on every celebrity and cool girl we love were the classic bob and the bixie. The bob cut is universally beloved and works on pretty much everyone, which is why it continues to trend every year. “You can tailor it endlessly; soft edges with movement or something a little more sculptural,” says celebrity hairstylist and co-founder of RŌZ Mara Roszak. “It’s ’90s, it’s ‘French Girl,’ both of which have been big trends in beauty this year.”
As for the bixie, which you can think of as a hybrid bob and pixie, it’s another ’90s cut that has found a resurgence for anyone looking for versatility. “It’s short enough to feel fresh and liberating, but not so cropped that it’s a drastic change for most clients,” celebrity hairstylist and groomer Charley McEwen once told Vogue. “It brings together the structure of a pixie with the softness and layering of a bob, which makes it really wearable.”
And 2026 doesn’t seem to be the end of short hair’s reign. Roszak predicts that we’re about to see more “lived-in” versions of the bob. “Less sharp, architectural lines and more roundness, natural bends, and cuts that grow out incredibly well,” she says. “We’re moving toward hair that feels more personal and expressive rather than overly polished.”
