8: Collarbone-Length Cut with Invisible Layers
This 2025 trend features a precision cut at collarbone length with barely-there “invisible” layers throughout.
The result offers movement without sacrificing the clean line.
Request a blunt perimeter with subtle internal layers that add movement without creating obvious steps.
This technique maintains length while preventing the heaviness of a one-length cut.
Style with a round brush while blow-drying to activate the invisible layers, creating natural movement that showcases the healthy shine of your relaxed hair.
9: Modern Shag with Curtain Bangs
The modern shag adapts beautifully to relaxed hair for 2025, offering texture and volume with disconnected layers throughout.
Curtain bangs complete this retro-inspired look.
Ask your stylist for layers of varying lengths with more dramatic shortness around the crown.
The curtain bangs should blend seamlessly into the face-framing layers.
Style with texturizing spray and scrunch with your fingers to encourage the layers to create dimensional volume throughout.
10: Relaxed French Bob
In 2025, the French bob—hitting just below the jawline with a straight-across fringe—will become a sophisticated option for relaxed hair.
This Parisian-inspired cut offers timeless elegance.
Request a chin-length bob with very subtle layering at the ends and a straight fringe that hits just above your eyebrows.
The blunt perimeter creates a strong, graphic line.
Style with a flat iron for ultimate sleekness or add a slight bend at the ends for a softer variation that maintains the distinctive French bob silhouette.
11: Long Layers with Wispy Ends
Long, relaxed hair receives a 2025 update with strategic layers that start mid-length and create wispy, movement-enhancing ends.
This style maintains length while adding dynamics.
Ask for long layers beginning around chest level with progressively lighter ends.
The subtle graduation prevents heaviness while allowing your relaxed hair to move naturally.
Style with a large-barrel curling iron for soft waves that showcase the layers, or wear sleek for a polished look that still offers dimension.
12: Graduated Bob with Stacked Back
The graduated bob features a stacked back that creates volume and a dramatic angle toward the front.
This 2025 style offers architectural precision perfect for relaxed hair.
Request a shorter cut at the nape and gradually lengthens toward the front.
The stacking technique creates natural volume at the crown without requiring teasing.
Style with a round brush while blow-drying to enhance the graduated shape, directing the front pieces toward your face for a flattering frame.
13: Relaxed Wolf Cut
The wolf cut—a combination of shag and mullet—adapts beautifully to relaxed hair for 2025.
This trendy style features choppy layers throughout with curtain bangs.
Ask for disconnected layers that create volume at the crown and taper toward the ends. The signature curtain bangs should blend seamlessly into the face-framing layers.
Style with texturizing spray and use your fingers to create piece-y definition that showcases the intentional messiness of this edgy, modern cut.
14: Blunt Midi Cut with Baby Bangs
The blunt midi cut—falling between shoulder and mid-back—paired with short “baby” bangs creates a striking combination for 2025.
This bold look offers graphic precision.
