the modern bob
Addicted to the bob? Fall for this model with a madly chic, oddly folk look. The idea is to play the card of lightness by softening the scissors. We swap too marked degradations for a blur that flatters the cheekbones. In the original version, which we owe to the Californian hair salon Gavert Atelier in which Yuki Nakatani officiates, the modern bob is worn with a curtain fringe for even more softness.
The bonus: Super easy to maintain, this bob does not require more than one visit every three to four months at the hairdresser.
Prohibitions: Avoid over-smoothing your lengths. Rendering effortless or a few twists will further enhance this cut designed as an ode to lightness.
the bixie
Take a cut pixie classic (short at the back, streaked on the front) and mix it with a bob (bob in English). Tadam: you then get a bixie, the cup of the year according to Fer Porro, stylist in London. “The bixie is slightly shorter than a bob, it arrives just above the chin, explains the expert at Refinery29. Since the end of 2021, the bixie has become the prerogative of those who dare, like Florence Pugh, Doja Cat or the top Hannah Kleit. Ready to take the plunge in 2022?
The bonus: Masters of scissors are able to add texture while cutting, making the cut more lively and flattering. A real plus for fine hair.
Prohibitions: To avoid looking like a Playmobil figurine, a detour through the brushing box is inevitable. But no need to spend hours there: the combo hair dryer + styling cream is enough to tame the bixie.
The marked gradient
The American influencer Summer McKeen started the trend: to give relief to her loooong hair, the young woman bet on a gradient. But there is no way it will blend into the hair and go incognito. At Summer, we only see him: the locks are cut clean, well marked. The 90s are back… and we love it!
The bonus: You don’t need to have the XXL length of the influencer to get started. The result is also beautiful on a long square. To further emphasize the “knife cut” effect, a sweep will make all the difference.
Prohibitions: Too much work on her bangs. On the contrary, we let her live her life to give more character to the whole.

The Bottleneck bangs
Fan of bangs, this cut is for you. After breaking through on Tiktok, the Bottleneck bangs seduced Dakota Johnson and Margot Robbie. The “bottle fringe”, which owes its fame to designer Tom Smith, is characterized by its particular shape: thin towards the roots, it then widens at the level of the eyebrows. Its great advantage? Thanks to its original cut, it flatters all face shapes and requires less maintenance than a classic fringe. “By cutting it shorter at the level of the central part, the lengths kept at the ends touch the cheekbones”, summarizes Elle.fr. No more reason not to cut (everything)!
The bonus: To style the Bottleneck bangs, just use a dab of texturizing product to twist the ends of the fringe. Child’s play, right?
Prohibitions: None, go for it!
L’octopus hair
We introduced you to the famous shag in the trendy cuts of the fall: it is clear that it is resistance and definitely stands out as THE retro hairstyle to try. The detail that changes everything for this winter? The lengths are worked so as to recall the curves of the marine animal (octopus meaning “octopus”). American hairdresser Madeline Algeciras has made it her trademark, thus mixing voluminous mass on the top and much thinner lengths that protrude below. We melt for its lightness, for its little vintage side, for its rock look at will.
The bonus: To be right in the era of time, we copy Hoyeon Jung, the heroine of Squid Game. The bangs are worn XXL and brush against the eyelashes, while the longer locks caress the shoulders.
Prohibitions: There is no question of playing it solo, mastering the different levels of lengths is an art in its own right, especially since a razor finish is essential to refine the strands-tentacles. We choose a hair expert to take the plunge (and not regret anything).
