Haircuts That Should Be on Your Radar This Season

Each season, you’re naturally inclined to want ‘new’ things. A new wardrobe, a fresh shade of lipstick, the latest haircut on the horizon. But as you enter this new season, you’ll see everyone is gravitating toward classic or more foundational cuts.


Whether this is simply a sign of the times or because this allows you to make bolder statements with colour, we’re living for classic silhouettes with an updated feel—and here are a few of our favourites.

Classic, Long Layers

You probably haven’t seen these on a trend roundup in a while, but this shape is the ideal cut to pair with perfectly undone beach waves or effortless balayage—both of which are highly coveted this season. The reason why this shape is so loved is because it works on a variety of hair types and textures. It allows you to have long lengths without sacrificing movement and with the right texturising techniques can also help you enhance volume. On the easier side to style whether blow-drying or air-drying, this look also looks gorgeous whether wearing it straight, wavy or curly. To add a bit of effortless movement, spritz DOO.OVER throughout the mids and ends to give your hair some texture and volume.

The Bob

A new bob trend debuts nearly as quickly as the weather changes, and while they have a variety of names attached with them, it still comes down to the tried and true classic shape. Proving it isn’t going anywhere anytime soon, we’re seeing endless amounts of bobs this season each with their own flair. Pair it with a bold colour to really make a statement or add fringe for a fresh take, with bobs the bolder the better—so have fun playing with this shape. This season we love the bob with a slight wave to it. To get the look, after blow-drying use a curling tong to enhance the shape and then finish with SESSION.SPRAY to lock in the look and ensure no flyaways impact your finished style.

The Perfect Midi

Neither here nor there, this length is perfect for anyone looking to clean up their ends or transition away from shorter styles. While it can be beautiful on all textures, this shape can take on a horizontal feel if hair is too thick, so be sure to discuss the best length for you with your stylist. If you’re opting for a version with less texture we love adding a GLOSS to enhance the cohesiveness of your cut and to show off how healthy it is.

Sheer/Peek-A-Boo Bangs

If you’re interested in trying fringe but don’t want to make a complete commitment, this shape is ideal. It takes on curtain fringe feel that’s very close to the iconic Jane Birkin bang, but with slightly less density. For this reason, it’s easy to enhance the face frame no matter the face shape or texture type. Because it is more sparse, always have FRESH.HAIR dry shampoo on hand to refresh your fringe without having to completely restyle.
