10 Short Hair Trends We Love to Welcome 2024
End the year with a fresh cut and fresh take.
As the weather gets cooler and the holiday season quickly approaches, we are starting to reflect on the hair highs and lows of 2023. When it comes to 2023 short hair trends there were some major highlights (pun intended), and we couldn’t help but compile a collection of the major stars of the show. Between the crisp bobs, baseball-capped styles, and the revival of the shag, there was no shortage of intriguing short hair trends to choose from.
2023 Short Hair Trends We Loved
Here are some of our favorite 2023 short hair trends to inspire your fall look:
1. Capped Air-Dried Strands
Is chic athleisure a clothing category yet? We love everything about this look, including the careful combination of structured pieces and softer silhouettes. Pairing a sleek baseball cap with a lob-length hairstyle worn down is the epitome of mixing casual and chic elements perfectly. Next time you grab a cap, wear your hair down and loose around your shoulders to recreate this look.
2. The Sleek Low Bun
The sleek low bun is the most versatile trend of the year: wear it to the grocery store, out to Sunday brunch, to the office, and date night too. Use a brush to comb the style to precision before securing the bun at the back of your head. A quick spray of TRESemmé TRES Two Ultra Fine Hair Mist will secure the style.
3. Headband Height
Add height to your hairstyle without reaching for the teasing comb by opting for the trendy puffy headband. Section your hair off into a center part, tuck the sides behind your ears, and add the headband as the finishing touch. The cherry on top? You can show off your glittery ear stack, too.
4. The Shag
Does it get any cooler than the shag? This 70s revival is the stuff of our hair dreams. Chic, feathered, and undone, this universally flattering hairstyle instantly adds a cool-girl edge to any outfit. Think of it as your most trendy accessory that you wake up with every day.
5. The Pageboy
Yet another throwback style that graced both runways and magazine covers this year, the pageboy gets a modern update when paired with the bold hair color of your choice. We love this red-hued cropped cut.
6. Blunt Ends
Blunt crisp ends set this lob-length hairstyle apart from the rest. Skip the layers and opt for one all-over length to recreate this style. As we mentioned above, you can never go wrong with the addition of a baseball cap!
7. Feathered Bangs
Another tribute to the 2023 revival of the shag haircut, this feathered style is what we would consider the more subtle younger sister of the classic shag. Feathered bangs and easy waves make this style super wearable.
8. Flipped Ends
If we could label 2023 hairstyle trends with one phrase, we would call it the year of throwback styles. This short flipped-out hairstyle is no exception! Reminiscent of 70s styles that flipped out at the ends just like the style pictured here, this style can be easily recreated with a blowdryer and round brush.
9. Face-Framing Layers
While there is always a case for one-length short hairstyles, opting for layers can change your entire style and even influence the way your face shape is perceived. Consider these subtle strategic layers if you want to recreate this face-framing style.
10. Double Braids
When in doubt, create two small braids at the front of your style for a super 2023-friendly style. We love how quickly this easy addition brings a touch of trendiness to a basic waved hairstyle.
