The Tamesis
Celebrities around the world have heeded the Siren’s call and asked to cut off their hair. Yes, that’s right, for the third year in a row, short hair is still in style.
If you find it hard to forget the short hairstyles Emma Watson experimented with in the 2010s, or Uma Thurman’s blunt bob, pulp Fictionwe have good news: there are plenty of modern references available for your next salon appointment.
Over the past two years, we’ve seen some interesting hairstyles like the “lob,” “kicked bob,” “curtaincrop,” and “Bixie” (the ultimate cool-girl hybrid of bob and pixie) become popular with celebrities and civilians alike. The versatility of this short hairstyle will continue to be popular in 2026, with trends like the “ombre bob” (think an angled hairstyle with more weight and length around the face) and the “whimsy pixie,” which completely defy the idea that growing up stages have to be difficult.
If you’re looking for a change, consider the likes of Gracie Abrams, who traded in her signature chin-length bob for a pixie cut; Olandria, who surprised herself with a micro bob and pixie cut over the past few months; and Demi Moore, who showed up to Demna’s debut show for Gucci in a dramatic textured bob.
Of course, there are many more bobs and chops to choose from, so all that’s left is to scroll, pick the hairstyle you like, and go for it… unless you’re reading this post after a breakup, in which case we recommend proceeding with caution.
