The blunt bob, the blonde money pieces… There isn’t a single thing we don’t like about this haircut.This is what hairdressers are calling the “heartthrob bob”. Inspired by the heartthrobs of the ’90s (think Nick Carter and Leonardo DiCaprio), it boasts heavy curtains, a deep centre parting and wispy layers.Photographed by Mariana Dos Santos PiresTo maintain a similar platinum blonde hue through your TWA (teeny weeny afro), invest in a hydrating and moisturising purple shampoo like Olaplex No.4P Blonde Enhancer Toning Shampoo, £28.Photographed by Mariana Dos Santos PiresInternal layers will lend more movement to hair that’s all one length. To achieve a similar shine, try an at-home hair gloss like L’Oréal Elvive Glycolic Gloss Treatment, £15.99.Photographed by Mariana Dos Santos PiresBobs and curly hair are a match made in heaven. Ask your stylist for some cheek-length layers — like this cut — to avoid a triangular shape. Photographed by Mariana Dos Santos PiresThis flicked bob looks like it was created with a good pair of straighteners. Use the ghd Chronos, £289, with a heavy helping of heat protection spray to shield against split ends.Photographed by Mariana Dos Santos PiresThe combination of long and short layers to enhance texture and movement is what stylists have coined the “butterfly” cut.

This rhubarb and custard-inspired bob caught the attention of editors, photographers and street stylers alike. The chunky full fringe and dusky pink bow are the icing on top of a sweet cut. Photographed by Mariana Dos Santos PiresYou heard it here first: The shoulder-length cut is the new bob. We love the addition of the gentle, wispy full fringe here.Photographed by Mariana Dos Santos PiresWe’re calling it. The pixie is the cut of the season. Spotted at New York Fashion Week and now London, it looks so sharp with a deep side parting. PHOTOGRAPHED BY MARIANA DOS SANTOS PIRESShoulder-length styles are anything but uninteresting — and this cut is proof. The relaxed S-waves give it a little something extra. Use the ghd Curve Classic Wave Wand, £159, to achieve similar. Photographed by Mariana Dos Santos PiresWe’ve seen a handful of distinctive ponytails this fashion week and this two-tone version — bleach blonde roots and brunette lengths — is one of the most eye-catching. Photographed by Mariana Dos Santos PiresThe jaw-grazing bob is going nowhere. Here, the wispy micro fringe gives it some serious edge. Photographed by Mariana Dos Santos PiresLong layers? Tick. “Bitty” bangs? Check. Moonlit lengths? Yep. This cut nails three trending styles in one. Photographed by Mariana Dos Santos PiresLike these copper braids on fashion and celebrity stylist Nana Acheampong, protective styles have commanded the catwalks at Fashion East and Off-White to name a few shows this season. Photographed by Mariana Dos Santos PiresFrom models to street stylers, swishy, hip-length braids have been spotted on and off the catwalk this season. Photographed by Mariana Dos Santos PiresIf your hair is all one length, consider a handful of “invisible” layers to add shape and movement, like this ethereal cut. Photographed by Mariana Dos Santos PiresThe blunt parted fringe, the long layers, the striking red shade… This is a wig that Ariel would be envious of. Photographed by Mariana Dos Santos PiresThe soft ponytail is usurping the slick-back bun as the hairstyle of the moment. Team yours with face-framing pieces and tousled waves. Photographed by Mariana Dos Santos PiresThe fragmented fringe, hacked layers and chunky plait extensions make this one of the most unique styles we’ve seen so far this season. The icy blonde hue is the cherry on top. Photographed by Mariana Dos Santos Pires
