Why is everybody desperately trying to get butterfly cuts, fringe, and Farrah Fawcett volume?
This is as clear as the trends themselves, i.e., the 2025 beauty forecast: the ’70s hairstyles are here again, complete with their hair. Whether on runways, in Paris, or SoHo, historic glamour intersects with punk hippie in a retro-evocative phase of rebellious, yet oversimplified hair styling attributed to other people, like Cher, Brigitte Bardot, Farrah Fawcett, and Jane Birkin.
Nowadays, it is not merely about appearing polished; it is all about finding a mood: laid back, romantic, and very wearable.
1. The Butterfly Cut
The butterfly cut is so feminine, with its soft layering and super-light tresses, that it is the haircut of the summer. It draws the feathered layers around the face, but the length is left on so that it has that old school 70s flip, yet updated to reflect the soft glam of this era.
Who is wearing it? Bella Hadid, Kaia Gerber, and the influencers on TikTok.
Style suggestion: A blowout brush or hot rollers can give you a little extra volume in the sides to make it flirty.
2. Curtain Birkin Bangs
These face-framing fringe looks reminiscent of Brigitte Bardot and Jane Birkin are catching the attention. Curtain bangs take the low-commitment approach to bangs, and Birkin bangs take it shorter, wispy, and Parisian chic.
Why they are trending: They straighten strong and flatten rough cheekbones and smooth out heavy jawlines- no filter required.
Match with: Long beach waves or a scruffy low bun to look like a bougie French girl.
3. Long, Slippery Layers the Cher Way
There was no one better at boho-glam than Cher. And her signature waist-length, center-parted layers are affecting the smoothest looks of summer. Think clean, sleek, and finishes.
Beauty tip: Smoothing serum and straight iron with curved ends will help maintain it fluid and not hard.
Match it with: Halter tops, maxi skirts, and oversized sunnies.
4. Farrah Fawcett Volume
It is that recognizable, reversed, feathered wave that is getting a high-fashion refresh. Here it is worn relaxed and ruffled, and there it is blown and molded into the most enviably retro-glamorous Farrah look.
Contemporary upgrades: Smooth shags and layered wolves move it in a sharper direction.
How to dress: Take a round brush and curl against the face, then use your fingers to rake through and get a lived-in look.
Why All of That Works in 2025
Nostalgia is the new green: both Gen Z and Millennials are nostalgic about the age of analog 2- Music: rotary phones, vinyl, and, of course, vintage hair.
The no-effort styling regulations: These are simple to maintain and become very flattering across a great variety of textures and shapes of the face.
Boho and polish: The level of magic is in the balance itself, natural waves and high gloss shine correlate with undone layers and expensive accessories.
Final Word
Your hair this summer can make a statement, and your hair this summer just might be telling a story, and that story just might be about 1974. Partritive, feminine, and emancipated, no matter how you sport curtain bangs entirely or revisit it as a flirtation with curtain bangs, this revival is nothing short of individual.
Well, so pick up that round brush and pop on a Fleetwood Mac album, and add a little boho-glam to your summer.
