As winter 2025 rolls in, style-savvy folks are on the hunt for fresh looks. One top-notch trick is layered haircuts—they add a nice boost of volume and movement to fine hair while keeping up with the season’s trends. These adaptable cuts work well on short and long hair alike, making them a great pick for anyone looking to switch things up as the new year kicks off.
General hair trends for winter 2024-2025
The start of a new year, especially in January, is a popular time for a hair refresh (think trimming split ends, reviving a faded color, or trying out a whole new cut). Salons around the globe are buzzing with activity. Drawing inspiration from seasonal vibes, client requests, and looks seen at past fashion shows, this winter’s hair collections are all about softly layered cuts with breezy lines. This trend offers a fresh, modern twist on hairstyling that’s both stylish and practical.
Since softly layered haircuts are taking center stage, these styles blend a polished look with everyday ease. They’re perfect for anyone wanting to highlight their natural beauty while keeping up with today’s styling trends.
Layered haircuts for short hair
The structured mid-short cut
One standout choice for short hair this season is The Structured Mid-Short Cut, created by Franck Provost. This inventive style mixes the best of a short cut and a bob. With a unique rounded shape that features shorter strands at the front—forming a curtain fringe that nicely highlights the cheekbones and eyes—and longer layers at the nape and around the ears, it adds a soft touch overall (ideal if you’re looking to freshen up your look with added volume and movement).
The airy pixie cut
Another cool pick for short hair is The Airy Pixie Cut from Atelier Intermède. After rocking longer pixie styles like the bixie last spring-summer 2024, fall-winter swings back to a more cropped pixie. This version emphasizes volume on top, with well-layered sides and nape that give a gently soft appearance around the temples and neckline. It’s a bold yet subtle style perfect for bringing out your best features while adding a little edge.
Layered haircuts for long and medium-length hair
The layered bob
For those with long or medium-length locks, The Layered Bob is a stellar option this fall-winter 2024/2025. Crafted by Maniatis Paris, this cut brings plenty of movement while keeping clear lines through the lengths and ends for a sleek, almost graphic feel. The style’s slightly wavy treatment around the face works wonders on oval faces and refines facial features (a great choice if you want to combine style with versatility).
The wavy mid-length cut
Rounding out the selection is The Wavy Mid-Length Cut by Coiff & Co, designed for a modern, glamorous vibe at medium lengths. It features gently cascading waves with a plunging motion that visually lengthens the face. The face-framing strands are slightly trimmed to add extra liveliness to the overall look. This style is perfect if you’re looking to experiment without sacrificing a polished and timeless feel.
Stepping into winter 2025 with one of these gorgeous layered haircuts means embracing a confident, fresh start. Each option brings its own flair while staying in tune with the latest trends—an open invitation to try something new and welcome the season with style.
