As the cold weather sets in and we prepare to embrace the festive season, there’s no better time to update your look with a fresh haircut. Winter is the perfect opportunity to try something bold, new, and exciting—whether you’re looking for a chic bob, a layered cut, or something edgy and modern. To help you end the year on a high note, our amazing stylists at Suede Salon have rounded up the best trending haircuts for winter 2024 that will give you the perfect style to step into the new year with confidence.
The Modern Shag
The shag haircut is back and better than ever for winter 2024. This layered, textured look is perfect for adding volume and movement, making it a great choice for those with fine or flat hair. The modern shag embraces messy, lived-in vibes with soft, face-framing layers that create a carefree, rock-and-roll style. Whether you go for a shorter, choppier shag or a longer version, this haircut works well with both straight and wavy textures, giving you a versatile look that’s easy to maintain. Pair it with bangs for a more dramatic effect or leave it soft and natural.
Blunt Bob
If you’re looking for a bold, sophisticated change, the blunt bob is a winter favorite. This sleek, straight-across cut offers a sharp, edgy look that’s perfect for those who want something low-maintenance but high-impact. The blunt bob is versatile enough to suit almost every face shape, and you can play with the length to suit your personal style. For those with finer hair, this cut gives the illusion of thickness and volume. Pair the blunt bob with a sleek, side part or keep it asymmetrical for an edgier, fashion-forward twist.
Textured Lob (Long Bob)
For those who aren’t quite ready to go too short but still want to switch things up, the textured lob is a perfect option. The lob (long bob) offers a bit more length than the blunt bob while still keeping things fresh and modern. With a slightly tousled texture and natural waves, the textured lob adds movement and dimension without requiring too much upkeep. This cut is incredibly versatile and can be styled in various ways—straight for a sleek look or wavy for a more relaxed, beachy vibe. It’s ideal for those who love a chic yet effortless look.
Curtain Bangs
Curtain bangs are another trend making a huge comeback this winter. These soft, face-framing bangs are parted down the middle and gently graze the sides of the face, creating a flattering shape that works well with almost every haircut. Curtain bangs can be paired with a bob, lob, or even longer layers to create a soft, romantic look. If you’re looking to add some drama without committing to full bangs, curtain bangs are the perfect middle ground. They’re low-maintenance and can be styled in multiple ways, giving you a look that’s both trendy and timeless.
Choppy Pixie Cut
For those who are ready to make a bold statement, the choppy pixie cut is one of the top winter trends for 2024. This edgy, short haircut offers a mix of elegance and playfulness, with textured layers and an effortless, “bedhead” vibe. It’s perfect for those who want a bold, youthful look without the commitment of longer hair. The choppy pixie cut also allows for plenty of styling flexibility, from tousled and messy to sleek and polished, depending on your mood. Pair it with a deep side part or keep it natural for an easy-to-style cut that will have everyone talking.
Soft, Layered Cut
If you want a timeless and feminine look for winter, a soft, layered cut is a fantastic option. Layers add movement, volume, and texture to your hair, making it a great choice for those with thicker hair or those looking to add some extra dimension. This style can be customized to fit your natural hair texture, whether you prefer loose waves, curls, or sleek, straight hair. Soft layers create a flattering silhouette and can be styled in a variety of ways, from sleek and polished to voluminous and textured, making it a versatile option for any occasion.
The Mushroom Cut
If you're looking for something a little more unique this winter, the mushroom cut is a standout trend. This bold, rounded shape is characterized by its strong, blunt edges and layers that create a soft, dome-like effect around the head. The mushroom cut is ideal for those who want a statement haircut that’s low-maintenance but full of personality. It works particularly well on straight hair, giving it a smooth, sleek finish. Pair the mushroom cut with a fringe or keep the top section a bit longer for an added twist.
The French Bob
For those who want to channel classic Parisian chic, the French bob is the way to go. This short, cropped bob sits right at the chin and is often paired with soft waves or a slight curl for added volume. The French bob has a timeless appeal that works well for all ages and face shapes. It's ideal for those who love a low-maintenance style that still looks put together. Pair it with subtle waves or straight locks to achieve that effortless, French-girl vibe.
Long, Sleek, and Straight
If you’ve been blessed with long, luscious locks and want to maintain them while updating your look, winter is the perfect time to go for a sleek, straight style. To avoid the flat, lifeless look that often accompanies longer hair in the winter, adding layers or subtle face-framing pieces can give your hair some movement and dimension. Straight hair with clean lines looks incredibly chic and polished, making it perfect for any holiday event or just for everyday elegance.
The ‘Octopus’ Cut
This bold and unique cut has been gaining traction and is perfect for those who want something experimental and fun. The ‘octopus’ cut combines layers of varying lengths, resulting in a look that’s chunky, shaggy, and very textural. The longer layers on top and shorter layers on the sides create volume and give the haircut a playful, quirky feel. This cut works well with natural texture and is great for those who want to make a statement with their hair this winter.
