Boho-chic and Shag haircuts emerge as key hair trends for 2026

Upcoming hair trends for late 2025 and 2026 are shifting toward relaxed, textured aesthetics inspired by the 1970s.

One emerging trend is the “Boho-chic” or “Chloé” haircut. Moving away from the strict precision of a traditional bob, this style emphasizes long, soft layers and an effortless, “undone” look. This aesthetic is influenced by fashion collections from brands like Chloé and Isabel Marant, aiming to capture the free-spirited essence of the hippie movement.

Another prominent style for the autumn 2026 season is the “Shag” haircut. Characterized by uneven, textured layers, the Shag is designed to add volume and movement to various hair types, including thick, thin, curly, or straight hair. The look relies on longer hair on top and shorter, shaggy layers at the sides and nape, making it a low-maintenance option that can be styled with texturizing sprays or light waxes.
