These Haircuts Are
Going To Be Huge In
2024
Bring on the bobs and bangs!

If the past couple years have been focused
on embracing natural texture and no-fuss
hairstyles, 2024 so far has proven to be all
that and a little something extra. Kicking off
a new year calls for fresh starts of all kinds,
making it the perfect time for 2024 hair
trends to guide us straight to the salon for a
new haircut or hair color. But it's never too
late to switch up your look this year!
Low-maintenance styling is being taken up a
notch with statement-making cuts that do
all the work and call back to past eras and
decades. If you've been wanting to make a
chop, there are shaggy layers, blunt fringe,
and retro styles just waiting to be shorn.
We're talking modern updates on vintage
bobs, bangs, and long cuts, too.
Here are the trendy haircuts you'll be
seeing everywhere throughout 2024.
01 Textured Layers

You can add so much more texture to
naturally Yne hair using layers, layers, and
more layers—focusing midway down the
hair to the ends ensures you don't lose too
much volume.

We're taking things back to the Old
Hollywood bobs of yesteryear—which
means soft ends, \attering curves, and a
deep side part.
05 Wispy Bangs

In case you got distracted by the show-
stopping ginger hair color, this cut deserves
just as much attention. Curls love a bunch of
layering to add to their natural bounce, and
wispy bangs refresh absolutely any haircut
or length.
06 Cheekbone-Grazing 90s

right, but it Yts in just as well today.
08 Mini Blunt Bob

Soft Blunt Bob

Just because you go blunt, it doesn't mean
you have to sacriYce texture. This mini bob
that grazes the chin has the best of both
worlds.

Perhaps our favorite trend that's been
gaining steam, curtain bangs look super
stylish and a little bit retro all at the same
time.

Curls are full of body, and a chin-length cut
with bangs is a \attering and unique choice,
seen here by stylist Sal Salcedo.

volume, which curls already enhance

We wish we could speak our minds as
bluntly as these ends. Keeping a cut free
from too much layering ensures a super
thick bob with tons of style.

Curls make wispy bangs even more
perfectly haphazard, especially when paired
with short layers.

stylist Chris Jones plays up all the texture
with layers and thick curtain bangs.

Keeping your haircut mainly one-length
without too many layers will always make it
look enviously thick. This lob cut is roll-out-
of-bed ready to go at all times.
21 Fringed Short Curls

Layers can give so much life to curls, and
that especially goes for short cuts. Add lots
of layers and a voluminous set of bangs, and
you're set to steal envious looks
everywhere you go.

color do the work. Easy layers and a
versatile length mean that you won't be
labored down with styling time.

in the front than the back, which elongates
and \atters oval and round face shapes to
no end.

You thought you'd seen the last of this
early-to-mid 2000s cut, hm? When
everyone else is going short, why not go
long?
27 Big Shoulder-Grazing

This length is not to be ignored. It's short
enough to really snatch onto major volume
and long enough to make a statement.
28 Curly Side-Parted Bob

For those who like a short cut, this short
bob from Curls By Jess gets style from a

accessory to a loud long cut of curls.

sideswept bangs—correctly this time
'round.

Thick Curls

Curls don't have to be weighed down, even
if they are enviously thick. Ask for layering
and wispy bangs to gradually add volume.
34 Angled Long Bob
of 45
Angled Lob

Angles are a great way to refresh any
length, especially short cuts that fall above
the collarbones. Ask for an A-line cut that's
longer in the front, but not stacked in the
back.
35 The New Triangle Cut

Curly girls are taught to be afraid of ending
up with a triangle cut (also known as the
pyramid cut), but this modern version is
changing the tune.
36 Flippy Layers

Flippy layers have a nostalgic, early-2000s
feel, but that's not the only reason to order
them up at the salon. They also make it
easier to mock the look of a fresh, bouncy
blowout.
37 Curly Super Pixie

Leaving your curls long on top gives so
much life and volume to a short cropped
cut.
38 Shaggy Shoulder Cut

by asking for shag-inspired layers and
curtain bangs. It's ideal for those who want
extra volume and texture.

For those looking to add something new to
a bob-length cut, bangs are an easy Yx. You
can go as wispy or full as you'd like.

go too short, layers are going to be your
best bet. Add side-swept bangs for an extra
textured look.

fresh hair color can't Yx. Don't be afraid to
go shorter!

Angled Bob

Angled cuts are the perfect way to add a bit
of interest to a short cut. You can take it
anywhere from chin-length to a long bob, as
seen here.

Layered Curls

Wispy bangs are so \attering on curly hair
and work seamlessly into any face-framing

layers are always the way to go!
