The Best Haircut Trends to Try in 2024
1. The Super Pixie

First up, we're going a lot shorter in 2024 thanks to the superpixie. "The 'Supers' [the iconic supermodelsof the 1980s] inspiration isn’t going anywhere," says Benavides. According to her, we're going to be seeing short pixie cuts with lightly-feathered fringes everywhere.

Benavides says that this style can be worn skimming the eyes or slicked back, and I'm personally a big fan of Taylor Hill'swispy fringe.

See? Told you the bob wasn't going anywhere. Next year though, the '70s bob will be all the rage.Benavides says that this cut can be worn polished and straight, turned under for a luxe look, or flicked out and waved for texture and volume. The flicked ends here look so'70s to me.

The great thing about this bob is that it can beany length from chin to collarbone-skimming. As described byBenavides, it's a versatile and easy-to-wear cut. Lily Allen has styled her bob with movement and texture here, keeping her ends turned under for a chic finish.

Apparently, 2024 is also going to be the year of layers, fromshaggy chops to longer-length "wolf cuts". "The focus is shorter, cheekbone and jawline-framing layers," explainsBenavides."From collarbone to longer lengths, it's perfect for effortless, cool-girl texture."
