The results are here, and our hair appointments are made—uncover the 11 bob trends that will officially shape 2025.
As we reflect on the most prominent hair trends of 2025 embraced by the fashion community, one particular style has captured our attention season after season: the bob cut. Influencers like Hailey Bieber, Gigi Hadid, and Taylor Hill commenced the year sporting chic, short hairstyles that seemingly went viral as soon as they shared them online. The effortless bobs appearing on our For You and Explore pages have offered a continuous stream of inspiration that we can't stop capturing for when we finally schedule our hair appointments. In this edition, we're showcasing some of the leading bob styles we've collected throughout the year for reference to show our stylists, along with a few trendy cuts that a celebrity hairstylist notes have been popular among his high-profile clients, and the best products to maintain your look post-appointment.
Why Choose a Bob? It's widely acknowledged that striking short hairstyles, particularly chin- and shoulder-length cuts, have gained popularity within Instagram and TikTok's fashion circles. Celebrities such as Hadid, Hill, Ryan Destiny, and Bieber are often seen sporting these styles. What is it about these short haircuts that makes them so appealing this year? Celebrity hairstylist Dimitris Giannetos attributes this trend to the minimal styling and product needed for their maintenance, as well as their versatility. "People desire bold, low-maintenance cuts that feel both empowering and expressive. There's also a growing preference for haircuts that age gracefully between salon visits," he explains. When bobs are expertly cut and styled, they can elegantly frame your facial features while enhancing your overall appearance with an additional element of sophistication or edge. If you've noticed an increase in people opting for the scissors as the new year approaches and during the spring and summer seasons, it’s because this style presents one of the simplest methods to rejuvenate the health of your hair without sacrificing too much length. Once you're ready to let your bob grow, you can keep your look fresh with minor trims.
What Distinguishes Bobs? If you're torn between a trendy bob and another short hairstyle, consider your stylist's advice and think about the overall look you want for your hair. While there are various distinctions between shag cuts, wolf cuts, bobs, and pixies, Giannetos suggests focusing on your desired outcomes. "[Bobs are] softer, more textured, and more customized. It's less about precision and more about personality and simplicity," he states. Choosing the right type of bob can be daunting without inspiration to guide you when the time comes to visit your stylist. Fortunately, we’ve got everything you need. Continue reading to explore the bob styles that have made a significant impact in 2025, according to Giannetos (who has crafted some of them himself) and the most stylish individuals featured on our For You pages. Once you find the cut you're after, don’t forget to shop for all the essential products to maintain salon-fresh strands long after your haircut.
2025's Top Bob Hairstyles
Baroque Bob
If you're looking for flowing layers, movement, and volume, the baroque bob may appeal to you. This hairstyle, first seen on celebrities like Zendaya and Laura Harrier last spring, has certainly remained popular this year. Named after the intricately styled looks of the baroque period (early 17th century to the 1750s), this short cut emphasizes body and movement with its big, bouncy, brushed-out curls.

Luxe Bob
Although Bieber is currently in the process of growing out her hair, she sported a high-shine, collarbone-length bob just this spring. This aptly named bob exudes luxury with its voluminous blowout, sleek lines, and glossy finish. Cut at the jawline, it tends to be bouncy with long, soft layers. Steer clear of anything choppy or textured. While it may require slightly more maintenance than a typical bob, it's polished and sophisticated.

Bixie Bob
If you're seeking a hairstyle that accentuates your natural hair texture rather than extravagant curls and length, a bixie might be the right choice. As Giannetos describes, it's the perfect blend of bob and pixie—the body and movement of a bob combined with the length of a pixie, celebrating texture and individuality. Hill remains a prominent inspiration for this cut, having worn it in various styles for the past two years.
