If you’re anything like us, you’re feeling the itch for a new look. Maybe you’re not sure what exactly — just that you want something fresh. Well, lucky you, because we’re always in tune with what’s trending in hair.
As we style, cut, and educate ourselves on all things hair, we’ve got our finger on the pulse of the hottest looks for 2024. So grab a coffee, get comfy, and let’s dive into what’s trending for hair this year!
1. The Soft Bob
Let’s start with a classic that’s made a big comeback this year — the soft bob. It’s the sleek bob with a laid-back twist (lots of layering). This cut gives you that bob length with a little softness and movement, making it super flattering and low-maintenance.
Best for: Almost any face shape, but especially for round faces since the subtle layering elongates. It works well for medium to thick hair textures, but can be adapted for finer hair with some added layers.
Colors: It looks especially stunning with soft balayage or subtle highlights to add dimension.

2. The Butterfly Cut
This layered style has gone viral for good reason. The butterfly cut features a full-bodied, layered look with long, soft pieces that ‘flutter’ around the face, often incorporating curtain bangs for that extra flair.
This cut resembles a modern shag but is more structured, making it a versatile option for longer hair. It beautifully frames the face while adding movement and texture, giving you a little retro charm and a lot of fun!
Best for: Oval and heart-shaped faces since it enhances facial angles. This cut is fantastic for medium to thick hair, as it showcases the layers beautifully. Not ideal for very fine hair, which may not hold the volume.
Colors: Go for deep brunettes or warm honey highlights to add dimension and show off those layers.

3. The Italian Bob
The italian bob has a hint of European elegance. This chin-grazing bob is thick and blunt, making it a top trending haircut 2024 that’s perfect for anyone wanting to keep things chic and effortless. It’s not too short, not too long — just the ideal length to keep things interesting.
Best for: Square faces as the blunt ends soften strong angles. This cut is great for medium to thick hair, giving it structure. Finer hair can still pull it off with some texturizing products for added volume.
Colors: Rich, dark tones or subtle ombre will give it that luxe, Italian feel.

4. The Mixie
Say hello to the mixie — a playful blend between a mullet and a pixie. It’s edgy, unexpected, and perfect if you’re feeling bold. Short in the front with a bit of length in the back, this cut brings all the rockstar energy this year.
Best for: Oval and heart-shaped faces, since it brings out cheekbones. This style works well with thick, textured hair but can be tailored for finer hair with strategic layering.
Colors: Bright platinum or deep auburn can make this look unforgettable, but honestly, any hair color will turn heads.

5. The Shaggy Lob
The shaggy lob (long bob) is another trending haircut for 2024 that’s all about texture. Think messy, undone waves that give you that ‘I just woke up like this’ look — without all the fuss. This style pulls inspiration from classic shags and mullets, offering a playful vibe without fully committing to the mullet look. It typically features soft, face-framing layers and often includes a fringe, adding depth and movement to your locks.
Best for: Round or square faces; the layers soften and create length. This cut is perfect for wavy or textured hair, as it amplifies the natural movement. Fine hair may need additional styling to achieve the same effect.
Colors: We love this with sun-kissed highlights or caramel balayage.

6. Curtain Bangs with Layers
If you’re not ready for a major chop, adding curtain bangs to soft layers could be your move. These long, parted bangs beautifully frame your face and add style without going too short, making them a top trending haircut for 2024. Plus, with celebrities like Sabrina Carpenter rocking this look, it’s no wonder the hype around curtain bangs continues to grow.
Best for: Long faces; the bangs add width and balance. These bangs work beautifully with any hair texture but are especially flattering on thick or wavy hair that can hold their shape.
Colors: This pairs beautifully with both cool and warm tones — go for rich espresso or soft blonde.

7. Long, Blended Layers
For those of us who just aren’t ready to part with our length, long, blended layers keep things interesting without a dramatic change. These layers add volume and movement, making it look like you just stepped out of a shampoo commercial.
Best for: Any face shape, but especially flattering for square faces. This cut is versatile and works well on all hair textures, but is particularly stunning on thick or wavy hair that can showcase the layers beautifully.
Colors: Works beautifully with any color, but caramel or honey tones add that sun-kissed look.
