A bixie cut, the hybrid of a bob and a pixie haircut, has retained its popularity and going to be big in 2024. Talking of bobs, a bottleneck bob is one of the hottest short hair trends this spring. Finally, androgynous haircuts– from a buzz cut to a mullet, are experiencing a steep rise in popularity.

Tom Smith

Expertise: Hairstyles and haircuts

Layers will add texture and movement to any shape, layering shorter HAIR will help to get more volume, lift and body in any hair type. Layers can often make your hair feel thinner, but look thicker due to the lift and movement they offer. If your hair is between chin length and shoulder length, layers will give you more root lift, and more of a tapered look to the end of your hair, while keeping it one length will make the roots flatter and give you more thickness towards the ends.
