Haircut trends for autumn 2026 focus on texture and hybrid styles

Hairdressing trends for the autumn 2026 season are characterized by a focus on hair texture and density rather than face shape. Key styles include sharp-lined bobs such as the Scandi bob and shiny lobs, as well as mobile short cuts like the bixie and a new generation of pixie cuts. Longer styles are trending through soft layers, including the shag, butterfly haircut, and long layered cuts.

A notable emerging trend is the ‘Shixie Cut’, a hybrid style that merges the textured, seventies-inspired layers of the shag with the structured, short silhouette of the pixie. This cut is particularly noted for providing volume to fine or flat hair. Other influential movements observed on runways for brands such as Gucci, Saint Laurent, McQueen, and Hermès include the return of clean lines and the use of side parts.
