The Sliced Bob Is the Chic Hair Trend to Try This Spring

published 27 January 2025

When it comes to 2025 hair trends, it seems like the bob hairstyle is here to stay. We've seen so many variations of the bob hair trend over the years, from the French bob to the inverted bob and even the bubble bob. However, I've noticed one bob hairstyle cropping up all over social media, and it's definitely caught my attention. Say hello to the sliced bob.

What is the sliced bob, I hear you ask? Let me fill you in. I like to think of this hair trend as a slightly relaxed, low-effort version of the blunt bob, making it the perfect trend to try this spring (I'm genuinely thinking about giving it a go). Similar to a blunt bob, this cut will give the illusion that your hair is all one length, but it actually involves your stylist "slicing" the ends of your hair to add a little bit of movement. No, it's not quite the same as layers, but it essentially has the same effect, helping to add some of that lived-in texture that we all know and love.

In my opinion, this is a great hairstyle for thin hair types that don't want a super blunt finish, but also don't want lots of layering. If this sounds like your kind of thing, I highly recommend that you keep on scrolling to check out some of the most stylish sliced bob hairstyles out there. Don't forget to shop my edit of products to help style your new look, too. You are welcome.

A pomade is also a great product for adding movement.
