Itching to switch up your style these days? Consider a fresh chop. In 2023, we're predicting a return to retro haircuts like shags, curtain bangs and even mullets (as seen on Miley Cyrus and Zendaya). But if that's a little too drastic for you, there is always the option to get a classic style that requires very little maintenance and will grow out seamlessly (i.e., long, blended layers a la Jennifer Aniston).
No matter your hair type or style preference, here's what we think will be the 58 best haircuts for women to consider in 2023.
1. Butterfly Haircut
The butterfly haircut gives you the option to play with shorter hair around the front of your face without having to commit to cutting all your length elsewhere (which explains its rising popularity these days).
2. Octopus Haircut
Named for the way the cut is round and more bulbous up top and spreads out at the bottom (like an octopus head and its tentacles), the style shares many similarities with a shag. Ask your stylist for lots of wispy layers—or better yet, bring in an inspiration photo like the one above.
3. Air Bangs
A staple style in Seoul? Air bangs. Fine and wispy, these see-through bangs are intentionally cut on the finer side, so that your forehead peeps through.
4. The Power Bob
Any Succession fans out there? Due to the immense popularity of the hit HBO show, there’s apparently a rise in requests for a sleek, power bob. To replicate the style, make sure you keep the length at or just below the chin and unlike the other cuts on this list, you’ll want to steer clear of any layers.
5. The Shullet
The shullet is a cross between a shag and mullet. (It also goes by “the wolf cut” on TikTok.) Defined by its generous texture throughout, it’s a solid style for those with naturally finer strands because it adds body.
6. The Smullet
Similar idea as “the shullet,” but shorter all around. The ideal length for a smullet falls just at or above your shoulders to give it more of a lob look.
7. The Mixie
As celebrity hairstylist and R+Co collective member Jenny Cho explains, “A mixie is an edgy haircut that is longer in the back, like a mullet, and shorter in the front, like a pixie—a mullet meets pixie. Depending on your texture, it’s generally a low-maintenance style because of the loose length around the hairline.”
8. The Italian Bob
The latest bob to create buzz is none other than Florence Pugh’s “Italian Bob” aka “The Boyfriend Bob,” which took Instagram and TikTok by storm in summer 2022. As Austin Burns, a stylist at Mirror Mirror Salon in Austin, Texas shares, “Ask your stylist to snip in some interior layers to add separation and keep the shape from becoming too round.”
9. Sideswept Pixie
Go shorter on the sides and leave the length on top. Then work a pomade through for a sweptback look.
10. Modern Mullet
The modern mullet a la Miley features face framing layers in the front and gradual length in the back. Tip: Dry shampoo is your BFF for that ruffled, day-two texture.
