6 Short Hair Trends Hailey Bieber Has Rocked

If there's one it-girl who could act as the ambassador for a short haircut, it might very well be Hailey Bieber. Our girl has sported a number of different cropped cuts, and all have been chic and gorgeous in their own way. She gave us high-volume energy with the bouffant bob, resplendent with layers and texture. But the Rhode founder has gone for sleeker cuts as well. In 2024, Bieber embodied the classic French bob, with its angular length just below the ear. It's without a doubt one of the most polished ways to wear short hair, and Bieber sported it so well. At other times, Bieber goes a little longer — though not much — with the timeless midi-bob, a perfect way to wear short hair while maintaining some length. The midi-bob sits just at or a little above the shoulders, and can be worn up easily in a bun or ponytail. From preppy to bouffant, Bieber knows how to rock a short haircut in a minimalist, flattering way.

Talk about yummy. In one of the sleekest iterations of her short hair looks, Hailey Bieber gave us a short French bob in May 2023 ahead of the opening of her skincare line, Rhode. Cut just at jaw length, Bieber embraced the intensity of the very short look by parting it down the middle and pulling it behind her ear. The strands were glossy and groomed as opposed to voluminous layers with a mind of their own. While not quite wet hair, Bieber certainly toyed with the edgy hydro-hair look by adding a shine treatment to keep things looking slick. 

In June 2023, while revving up for a hot girl summer, Hailey Bieber debuted one of the most unfussy versions of short hair: a blunt bob chopped at the jawline. The short style look so fresh and contemporary thanks to its natural texture. The bob wasn't overly styled, and Bieber's wispy strands looked perfect for a down day about town. It's effortless and undone, as the minimal layering lends itself well to fuss-free styling. Add a smoothing cream before drying to get that extra jolt of shine. 

Side parts have slipped back into the hair conversation, as elder millennials jump for joy. Younger generations are embracing the side part, too, with Hailey Bieber amongst them. In June 2023, she flipped things on their side thanks to the unexpected part. Side parts offer a world of volume, and with a bob, this can be a wonderful thing. The style added oomph to her short cut, and gave the final effect some asymmetrical charm.

At the 2020 Vanity Fair Oscar Party, Hailey Bieber emerged with a blonde lob, cut sharply just above her shoulders. The blonde was a warmer and more dramatic departure from her usual brunette locks. On top of the blonde tones, Bieber kept things fresh by playing with the hydro-bob trend, styling her hair with a liquid wet finish. To nail this slick look, use an anti-frizz serum, which will help secure the wet, glossy finish. Bieber's sharp side part cinches the short do perfectly.

If you thought you needed long hair to rock a slick back bun, think again. In 2023, the socialite proved via a selfie upload that the chic updo could be easily executed as a short style. With her hair tightly pulled back behind her head, the tiny bun looked super polished, allowing her facial features to stand out.

Hailey Bieber shows that short hair cuts don't have to be casual or minimal. Sporting a sweeping side part, at the Baby2Baby Gala in November 2023, Bieber rocked trendy, soft curls that added a feminine touch without being too neat and tidy. The best way to achieve this is by using a curling rod and curling hair in different directions so that the result resists uniformity. She looked flawless.
