A softer look to traditional bangs.
Who better to get hairstyle inspiration from than icons like Sabrina Carpenter and Dakota Johnson? With legions of fans swooning over their chic hairstyles, you can trust that their take on layered haircuts will get you plenty of compliments.
If you’re not into the traditional blunt bangs vibe, curtain bangs—like those rocked by Sabrina and Dakota—will offer a more effortless and flattering alternative. Whether you like to wear your hair up or down, these layered curtain bangs will add a level of dimension and sophistication to your hairstyle.
Edgy, It-girl haircut.
If you’re looking to embrace an edgier vibe this year, why not kick things off with a modern mullet? You might remember celebrities like Miley Cyrus and Rihanna rocking this bold layered cut with short hair at the front and sides, and longer locks in the back.
Now, layered hairstyles like the mullet are here to stay, with fresh twists to suit a variety of personal styles. The best part? A mullet is surprisingly low maintenance, so you can look like a total baddie without spending hours styling your hair in the mornings.
Low-maintenance, versatile haircut.
Another low-maintenance option is the shag haircut. Many hairstylists claim that this cut suits almost everyone and provides an easy solution for adding volume to flat hair. Featuring retro, choppy layers, the shag is a versatile style that you can style for special occasions or wear messily on casual days while still looking effortlessly put together.

A combination of a mullet and a shag haircut.
Combining the bold vibe of the ‘80s mullet with the textured layers of the ‘70s shag, the wolf cut offers the best of both worlds for anyone seeking a stylish yet low-maintenance look. It features short, choppy layers on top that give it an edgy feel, and longer, feathered layers at the bottom to create a voluminous finish.
This cut has also been seen on popular K-pop idols like aespa’s Karina and even beloved solo artist, IU. However, you might want to give this haircut a miss if you have very thin hair as the layers and volume may make your hair look even thinner.
Subtle layers that are flattering on all face types.
If you’re thinking about trying out a layered cut but don’t know where to start, face-framing layers are a good way to dip your toes into the look.
Regardless of your face shape, hair length, or hair texture, face-framing layers will accentuate your facial features when done right. These shorter pieces are strategically cut around the face to balance and highlight specific aspects of your bone structure. Plus, they offer a subtle change from your usual blunt cut, so you can ease into the layered look without feeling overwhelmed.
Soft and romantic layers.
For the demure girlies, the hush cut will help you achieve that soft, romantic vibe that you’re after. Originating from South Korea, the hush cut—true to its name—is an understated and low-key layered cut that flatters most face shapes. It typically features subtle long layers and face-framing fringes. Some hairstylists also incorporate some see-through or curtain bangs to add an innocent touch to the look.
Inspired by vintage icons like Marilyn Monroe.
Inspired by vintage icons like Marilyn Monroe, the old money bob is a timeless layered hairstyle that will never go out of style. If you’re looking to add some volume and sophistication to your current look, this bob will do just that. With a bit of styling, you’ll achieve that “fresh blowout” look every time you step out of the house, channelling that old-school glamour and elegance!

Side parts are back.
Ever since Gen Zs deemed the side part passé and associated it with millennials, many have shied away from it. However, if you’re one of the people who secretly despise the middle part you’ll be glad to hear that side parts are officially back in trend.
If you’re looking to embrace the comeback with a spanking new haircut, we recommend a layered long bob (or lob) that will complement your side part. Whether you’re into choppy layers for an edgier look or prefer softer layers with curls for a more cutesy vibe, the lob and side part combo is sure to turn heads.
A layered haircut that is popular on TikTok.
If you’re a fan of the hit TV series Friends, you’re probably familiar with Rachel Green’s iconic hairstyles throughout the show’s run. One, in particular, has been making a major comeback on TikTok—the ‘90s-inspired butterfly cut she rocks in the series. Now, everyone is rushing to get the layered, voluminous look that’s all over social media.
Featuring 2 distinct sections: long layers that fall below the shoulders, and short layers that hit below the chin to frame the face, the butterfly cut effectively frames the face and adds volume.
A French bob with more volume and texture.
We get it—Singapore’s heat can sometimes be unbearable, so why not consider the layered French bob for a trendy way to beat the heat?

You can choose to keep the blunt bangs of the OG French bob for a unique touch or switch it up with our favourite curtain bangs to enhance the volume and movement of your hairstyle.
While trying a new layered haircut might feel a little intimidating, we’ve got you covered with 10 trendy options to suit every vibe and aesthetic. You can also mix and match these cuts with your hairdresser to create a look that’s uniquely yours. Be sure to save these inspo pictures for your next salon visit!
