Bobs Aren't Over, But This Longer Hair Trend Is Suddenly Everywhere Again
Short hair is going nowhere, but these '90s looks are taking over this summer.


Ask anyone about the biggest hair trends of the season, and I guarantee that they will mention the bob hairstyle. Yes, this short hair trend is still proving incredibly popular, and I can totally see why. That being said, I'm not looking to chop off my lengths this summer, so when I noticed a slightly longer hair trend cropping up on social media, I was immediately intrigued.
No, I'm not saying bobs are over, but it seems that lots of stylish people are opting for shoulder-length hairstyles this season. In particular, layered shoulder-length hairstyles.
I know that layers are nothing new (in fact, long layered bobs have been in style for a while), but when paired with this chic hair length, you are left with a sophisticated style that is full of volume and bounce. It's giving me all of the '90s supermodel vibes, and after looking at pictures, I'm ready to give this trend a go this summer. If you're also thinking about refreshing your look but don't want something too dramatic, I highly recommend you keep on scrolling. Below, I've rounded up some of the most stunning shoulder-length, layered hairstyles that will likely have you running to your local salon. If shoulder-length hair still feels a little short, don't forget to check out our guide to the best medium-length layered haircuts, too.
