Si know, new year, new head. And for many the appointment at the hairdresser it is inevitable, For start the new year off with a bang. But which haircuts to choose from? Here are the five coolest, including fashion shows, street style and celebs, perfect for January 2025.
Comeback haircuts for 2025
Also for 2025, at least for the first part of the year, the macro hair trend will be naturalness. Yes to loosely styled cuts and free, wind-blown lengths, whether long, medium or short.
The inspiration is casual, fake disheveled, but everything calibrated to the millimeter. After the bob in all its versions, here are five return haircuts to try at the first appointment in January at the hairdresser.
1. Bob, bob, French bob: the semi-short par excellence
Call it what you want, the length is still the same, flush with the jaw. Easy to wear in everyday life, it suits practically all hair types. The chicest? One who marched by Isabel Marant SS 2025: the shape is slightly roundedso as to give body to the hair itself, with the central parting. The beauty of this cut is precisely the styling, left natural and slightly disheveled.
2. Mixie, to really cut it out
Looking for a real style change? The mixie is the return cut to risk.In a word, essential. Halfway between the pixie and the bixie, it is the union of bob and pixie. And it is the short cut par excellence. Complete with fringe halfway down the front and slightly pulled back, with longer locks at the back and lengths on the back that also reach halfway down the neck.

Extremely chic, especially on an oval face, the mixie is easy to manage: one pass of the hairdryer and you are ready. Furthermore, it is suitable for all hair types and above all it is not as extreme as the mullet. Cwho chose it? Iris Law and Emma Corrinwhich opted for a more velvety consistency called velvet crop.
3. The middle finger with central parting
Another natural choiceas well as a “safe” cut, perfect for those who want to cut their hair but not change their image, is the medium one.
Without upheavals or, above all, complications. The length reaches up to the shoulders, the parting is central, and is suitable for any type of hairalbeit on the subtle one. Maintenance is very simple. And the natural effect is safe.
Celebrities to inspire you? Alexa Chungwho at the latest Fashion Awards 2024 on December 2nd chose a twenties style, but also Victoria De Angelis who, on the same occasion, chose a medium wavy cut with Seventies fringe.
4. The spiky mullet, for those who really want to dare
On the contrary, there is nothing natural about this cut. Complex and difficult to style, the spiky mullet is the most unconventional choice you can make. But with a great personality. The spiky mullet seemed to have remained in the eighties and instead it is back. Thanks (or maybe fault?) to Rita Ora who showed it off at the 2024 Fashion Awards in London at the beginning of December.
The name derives from the fact that this particular version of mullet has the tips combed upwards, in full punk style. Added to this is that, at the back, it is longer. It goes without saying that in this case styling is everything: gel and wax become daily allies precisely to give shape to the particular cut.
5. Foxy cut, the dynamic medium cut
Georgia May Jagger, Billie Eolith, Miley Cyrus. What do they have in common? The foxy cut. A valid alternative to the medium cut with a central parting, it is always an elegant but very dynamic and cheeky medium length, an evolution of the wolf cut.
It is a cut that involves some layers to give movement and volume to the hair, and is often combined with a curtain fringe that frames the face. Suitable for those with a long face, because it balances the proportions thanks to the fringe, and for those with a round face, which tends to slim.
However, it is not recommended for those with very fine hair because it is not suitable for styling. Compared to the wolf cut, the foxy version has a less Seventies spirit and the result is more contemporary.
