“Heartthrob” Bob

TikTok’s “heartthrob bob” has been popping up everywhere over the last few months. “This new bob is really a take on [the] schoolboy or cool-boy cut from back in the day,” says celebrity hairstylist Garren. The look is a wash-and-go style that’s perfect for anyone who loves low-maintenance hairstyles. It looks great both on curly and straight hair.

“Prada” Bob

The “Prada” bob was first spotted on Joey King last year, courtesy of celebrity hairstylist Dimitris Giannetos. “The Prada bob is a short blunt cut, swooping inward right above the jawline,” Giannetos says. It’s meant to be worn on straight hair with a severe side part.

Butterfly Haircut

The butterfly haircut is perfect for anyone who wants lots of volume and movement. It involves cutting shorter face-framing layers around the top of the head, which gives the illusion of fuller hair. One of our editors with thin hair tried it and loved the results.

Broccoli Haircut

The broccoli haircut is controversial because it’s a bit unconventional, but honestly — it’s stunning. It’s a short style that is both undone and a little shaggy. “The look often results in a textured and slightly messy finish,” says celebrity hairstylist Renee Iris. “It’s achieved by cutting the hair in short, uneven layers that resemble the florets of a broccoli. The side can be completely buzz-cut short or shaved very close to the scalp (like a fade).”

“Cowgirl” Bob

Cowgirl bobs have been having a major moment, with celebs like Megan Fox and Kim Kardashian jumping on the train. “The style typically features blunt ends with minimal layering and a bit of wave or curl, giving it a laid-back, country-inspired vibe,” Adam Federico, vice president of technical education at R+Co, says. It works for all hair types — just take it from one of our editors who tried it herself.

Undercut Haircut

“Short hair is in,” hairstylist Anabel Santos says. “It’s time to get that trim you’ve needed and bring hair back to life. I find that a new year is a great time to change it up and try out a shorter look.”

The biggest short haircut trend you’ll be seeing in the coming months? The undercut style, which is when the lengths are cut shorter on the sides and back.

“Leaving it longer on the top but not overly styled is the modern take,” celebrity hairstylist Karl Jackson says. “Not a lot of curl, but a more textured look with short fringe.” It’s one of the best haircuts for thick hair.

“Bixie” Haircut

Just as the name sounds, the bixie haircut is a combination of a bob and pixie length. “It’s shorter than a bob, longer than a pixie, and with the hair off the neck and midface,” says hairstylist April Peele, adding that it’s the perfect in-between cut for people who have never gone shorter than chin length before. “The bixie offers that sweet spot for clients who want to cut their hair off but aren’t ready for the maintenance and commitment of really short hair. Or maybe they want really short hair but know they can’t pull a pixie off.”

Marrying the two styles also allows you to customize the look to best fit your face and personal style: “A bixie haircut really speaks about your personality without you saying a word,” Peele says. “It’s fun, versatile, and customizable for your facial features.”

It can work for everyone, but it’s an especially great haircut for curly hair.

Curtain Bangs

Bangs are one of the more divisive hair trends, but curtain bangs — which are ’70s-inspired bangs that are split right down the middle and swept to each side — will be going strong into the new year, and it doesn’t get more noncommittal than that.

“Curtain bangs are the new standard when it comes to bangs,” Santos says. “Keeping them longer — as opposed to short, like with baby bangs — will keep them fresh from seasons past.”

Hairstylist Glenn Ellis agrees, adding, “They frame your face beautifully and even make a ponytail look high-fashion and elevated.”

Layered Shag Haircut

You’ve gotta admit: the shag has endless appeal. The key to making the style feel modern is by combining layers around the head for movement and sweeping face-framing bangs. “The cut is a heavily textured look that uses shorter layers on the top of the head, critically maintaining length and volume, while thinner, longer lengths of hair are styled from underneath,” hairstylist Darren Bain previously told PS.

The style works on any hair length, but again, it’s all about adding movement to the hair, which means it’s an amazing haircut idea for long hair. “Long layers have been big for a while — I really think that is going to stick around,” says celebrity hairstylist Laura Polko.

The “Shift” Haircut

“The shift” haircut is categorized by choppy layers of varying lengths on the top of the head. “The ‘shift’ [has] versatile styling options — from something edgy and raw to extremely polished and sophisticated,” Federico previously told PS. “The haircut can be finished to suit the individual’s personality and meet them for who they are within that day.”

Italian Bob Haircut

The Italian bob has been dubbed the “easy-to-wear bob.” It’s essentially an overgrown French bob that features bluntly cut ends and hits around chin-length or slightly longer. The look is so chic, even Khloe Kardashian was recently seen with one.

“The Italian Bob embodies effortless sophistication with a chic, relaxed vibe,” says celebrity stylist and Unite Ambassador Ricky Mota. “It evokes classic Italian glamour, inspired by icons like supermodel Christy Turlington, Monica Bellucci, or modern interpretations seen on the runways. This style is versatile by working with various hair textures and its ability to be styled sleek, tousled, or wavy.”

“Baroque” Bob Haircut

The “baroque bob” is a new iteration of the ever-popular bob haircut. The term is defined by Merriam Webster as having “characteristics of a style of artistic expression prevalent especially in the 17th century.” When talking about the haircut, it refers to a particularly bouncy, romantic bob that’s styled straight or wavy with rounded ends.

“Jellyfish” Haircut

One of the more polarizing haircut trends we’ll be seeing this year is the jellyfish” haircut, which first started gaining popularity in 2023. The style is named for its stark resemblance to the shape of a jellyfish: “It’s essentially a version of a mullet that plays on shapes and contrasting lines,” celebrity hairstylist Gregory Patterson previously told PS.

The cut features two disconnected sections. The top portion sits on the outer layer of hair and looks similar to a bowl cut, typically ending around the middle of the ear, and mimics the bell-shaped body of a jellyfish. The bottom and second part of the cut is a longer inner layer that mimics the tentacles.

There are many different iterations of the look, and it can be worn in dramatic fashion with two blunt layers or more subdued with blended layers, depending on your preference.

Micro Bangs Haircut

Some people say bangs are reserved for the brave, but different variations of the style have been getting more popular over the years. For this year, specifically? Join the masses in going bold. “People have been asking for little wispy micro bangs that go a little below the eyebrow — a lot of people are really into doing that lately,” says Polko.

While you might think of micro bangs as blunt, short, and cut straight across the forehead, there are actually many types. “They can be curly, curtain, choppy, wispy, and so on,” hairstylist Devin Toth previously told PS.

The best part? “[Baby] bangs can add flair to any hairstyle and work on all hair types — super curly, pin straight, updos, pixies, long, short, thick, thin, box braids, Afro,” says Toth. Meaning they’re a great way to add flare to any haircut for long hair.

What I Love About the Chirp Contour

The Chirp Contour is shockingly easy to set up, which was immediately impressive. When it first arrived, I was expecting a complicated Ikea-esque table I’d have to MacGyver pieces into, but no — the entire table comes preassembled in the box. You just remove the packaging, plug it in, lie down, and enjoy. The most you have to do is swap out the interchangeable roller to the one you want to use (there are three: a soft roller for sensitive backs, a four-point contour roller for targeted relief, and a deep-tissue roller to really get in there).

As someone who’s sat in her fair share of massage chairs, I love the different settings and modes the Chirp Contour offers. It’s very relaxing, and since I’m lying down, I can feel my body and muscles relax even more versus being upright in a massage chair or when using a massage gun.

The table offers three different modes for back massage, each of which allows you to tailor the stretch to your specific needs. First, there’s “roll,” which simply rolls along the spine for a full back massage. Then there’s “decompression,” which is my favorite mode; the rollers move slowly up and down your back to alleviate pain and pressure (which I have a lot of!). It reminds me of tiny foam rollers that really work their way along my vertebrae to relieve pressure, and I love that I can dial up the strength on days when I need more oomph. The last mode is “target”, which I also love on days when I get stuck with a hard-to-reach knot that needs working out. “Target” basically keeps the rollers in one spot along your back, giving you, well, targeted relief. As someone who’s consistently twisting and reaching to try and alleviate random spots of pain and discomfort, this mode helps immensely.

On top of the three spinal massage settings, the Chirp Contour also features a separate deep tissue neck massager that feels absolutely dreamy. Some days, I’ll just turn the neck massager on, no back massage modes at all, and treat myself to a little TLC. It feels amazing, and like everything else on the Contour, it can be customized to your liking with heat and pressure settings.

All of this is controlled with a remote on the side attached to the device, so there’s no need to get up and down to toggle through modes or settings. You can do everything you need to do lying down, which, honestly, who doesn’t love?!

What’s Worth Noting About the Chirp Contour

While the Chirp Contour feels great and does provide me with relief, some professionals have concerns about the phrase “decompression.” According to Jessica Rizzo, DPT, GSC, CDP, a physical therapist based in Austin, Texas, true spinal decompression refers to both surgical and nonsurgical techniques that relieve pressure on the spinal cord, nerve roots, or intervertebral discs. She emphasizes that the spine is a stable network of joints, connective tissue, muscles, and nerves, and decompression therapies are best administered under the supervision of a professional. So, while the Chirp Contour can offer temporary relief and relaxation, it’s not a substitute for medical intervention if you have significant spinal issues.

Less important — it’s also not exactly compact. While flat and able to be stored under couches and beds, it does command a decent amount of floor space, so if your studio apartment is already playing Tetris with furniture, this might not be your ideal match.

Also, be prepared for a bit of trial and error. The table offers a range of settings to customize your stretch, but finding your sweet spot might take a few attempts. I recommend starting slow and gradually increasing the stretch as your body adjusts — your spine will thank you.

Who Is the Chirp Contour Best For?

If you’re someone who deals with chronic back pain, tension from too many hours at a desk, or that post-workout soreness, the Chirp Contour could be a game-changer. It’s also a win for folks who like to stay proactive about their body care. Think of it as the in-between maintenance your spine craves when regular massages or chiropractor visits aren’t cutting it (or are cutting into your budget).

But know if you are experiencing pain, have a condition, or have had spinal surgery or fusion, you should be evaluated by a medical provider before using the Contour, or any at-home device for that matter. “Back pain especially is very complex and is not a one-size-fits-all diagnosis, indicating that adequate treatment cannot be managed by one modality,” explains Rizzo. She explains that pain can occur for a number of different reasons, from sitting wrong in your computer chair to neurological problems. “That’s why it’s important to have a professional assess you and determine an appropriate treatment plan to best meet your individual needs,” she says.

As someone with a lifelong scoliosis diagnosis who has tried multiple modalities and recovery tools, I feel confident that the Chirp Contour is safe and beneficial for me, but with any at-home modality, you’ll want to chat with your healthcare providers
