There’s one hair trend guaranteed to get you compliments for the year ahead, and it probably won’t come as a surprise. We’re already thinking about the 2025 bob hairstyles that will headline the next dozen or so months because our collective bobsession shows no signs of easing up any time soon.
Of course, the cut is a classic for a reason – it can elevate a simple outfit with extra impact and bring a whole new energy to your style. It’s a little daring, it’s beautifully tailored, it can feel effortless but also ultra polished. That’s an impressive list of credentials for just one chop. As for what we can expect from 2025? Nostalgia will play a big part with the ’90s bob and flicked bob giving us throwback inspo, meanwhile the length will alternate with cool short, sharp micro shapes and longer, swooshier renditions giving us a bougier aesthetic.
Intrigued? These are the 2025 bob hairstyles to know…
The micro bob
For a striking cut that will definitely make a statement, legendary hair stylist, Sam McKnight, predicts that short, sharp micro bobs will rule 2025.
Cut it so it sits “right at the nape and jaw,” he says. “It’s strong, with an androgynous cool edge, whether styled sleekly back with gel [Sam recommends the Hair by Sam McKnight Self Control Gel] or super fresh and clean for ultra glossy luxe shine. It’s modern and effortless,” he explains.

The cutie bob
There’s one bob shape we keep seeing the girls on TikTok pulling up with: just below the chin (but still above the shoulders), softly blunt and chunky at the ends. We’re dubbing it the cutie bob because it stays firmly in feminine territory without feeling androgynous, and it has a fresh, romantic playfulness to it, but it manages to feel really casual and wearable, too.
