Confirmed: This '90s-Inspired Haircut Is Making a Major Comeback This Autumn
Spotted on the likes of Hailey Bieber and Elsa Hosk, face-framing layers are having a huge revival.


Ask me where to look for the latest hair trends, and I could tell you so many different things. Runways, street style, hair experts, editors, the list goes on. However, there's no denying that celebrities hold a certain power when it comes to hairstyles. From Hailey Bieber's iconic blunt bob to Daisy Edgar-Jones' boho fringe, I've drawn plenty of inspiration from celebs over the years, which is why, when I saw Elsa Hosk's new face-framing layers on Instagram, I text my hairdresser straight away.
While Hosk is known for her tousled, wavy bob, lately she's been sporting a long, 90s-esque, tapered haircut that looks impossibly chic. With Bieber also growing out her bob into a longer, layered hairstyle, I do not doubt that this trend will be making a major comeback this autumn.
The key to making this cut look as stylish as possible is to accentuate your layers. If you have curly or wavy hair, embracing your natural texture can help to add even more movement to your cut. If your hair is on the straighter side, try using a hot brush or rollers to style your layers inwards for that '90s finish.
Below, I've rounded up some of my favourite hairstyles with face-framing layers that I know will be bang on trend this autumn.

I love how these layers start right at the jawline to really frame the face.
Hailey Bieber is a big fan of this haircut, and these layers help to add movement and bounce to her ends.
