According to hairstylist Fran Galán from The Beauty Concept Salon, “Bob cuts continue to reign supreme. Most celebrities are wearing them, even Pamela Anderson has become the perfect reminder that the bob has no age limit.” However, there are many other short haircut ideas that make it easier to simplify your routine and still look fabulous as winter approaches.
“Let’s be clear, short hair will remain one of the strongest trends for the rest of 2025,” adds Galán. “There’s never a wrong time to choose a shorter cut, and above all, it’s practical for anyone ready to say goodbye to long hair.”
The character Trinity from The Matrix movies, has long been a style muse, and recently her iconic short haircut has become a major source of inspiration.
Model Delilah Belle Hamlin, daughter of Lisa Rinna, has revived this cyberpunk-inspired style, a chic hybrid between the pixie and the bob. With longer front strands and softly layered ends, this haircut blends edge and elegance while staying easy to maintain.
“Elegant, effortless, relaxed, and comfortable,” describes Fran Galán. The French bob has a light, natural texture with uneven ends that fall just above the shoulders.
Stylist Alex Sestelo calls it “a timeless classic that never fails but gets a modern upgrade this fall with sharp ends and an undone finish that screams effortless chic.”
Shorter at the back and slightly longer in front, it beautifully frames the face with a natural, low-maintenance charm.
“Somewhere between a layered cut and a modern mullet, this option is always avant-garde,” says Sestelo.
“This fall, it reinvents the retro aesthetic with long, soft lines and natural texture. It’s ideal for wavy or curly hair and brings back that bohemian-chic energy that will shine through the end of the season.”
Sestelo also confirms that the pixie cut is back stronger than ever for women who want to look powerful and fresh.
"It’s worn with texture, movement, and loose strands that give volume and vitality. With uneven layers, long bangs, and a bold finish, this short haircut is ideal for those who want a distinctive and confident look."
Minimalist yet impactful, the blunt bob is the go-to choice for women who love simplicity without blending into the crowd. Rosa Roselló, director of training at Druni, explains that “this haircut is perfect for achieving an elegant look with minimal effort.”
Celebrities like Jessica Biel with subtle highlights, Lucy Boynton with extra volume, and Kendall Jenner in a warm brunette shade have all embraced this sleek style, proving its timeless sophistication.
On the edgier side, hairstylist Juandiegoteo highlights the mixie cut, a daring blend between the mullet and the pixie. “It’s one of the boldest short haircuts of the season,” he says.
“The goal is to express personality and freshness while keeping a soft, feminine edge with longer face-framing strands.” The result is an effortlessly cool and modern look that stands out.
“The mullet and mixie both bring expressive power and movement,” explains Juandiegoteo. “They recall the classic garçon cut, but with longer strategic layers that create volume and attitude. Plus, they’re comfortable and easy to maintain day to day.”
These styles are perfect for women seeking a radical change, something bold that reflects their individuality.
Despite their differences, all these short haircuts for fall and winter 2025–2026 share a common goal: to enhance natural beauty, simplify care, and bring a youthful, fresh air to your look.
This year’s trends move away from overly structured styles, embracing comfort, versatility, and authenticity.
“Hair is no longer seen as something static, it’s a living accessory that moves, transforms, and adapts to each person,” concludes Juandiegoteo. “These cuts invite you to play, reinvent yourself, and feel confident in your own image.”
