This season the 2026 trend haircuts and hairstyles look to past decades for inspiration. The voluminous hair of the 90s is back, and so are the eighties cuts. Now, we will see that eighties style with very marked layers and ultra-defined shapes in a lighter version.
Today's hair style is easier to wear. The volume looks more controlled and the layers less staggered but with a lot of movement, as we have already seen in the 2026 haircuts. The important thing is to adapt the cut to each type of face. The texture of the hair, the density and of course the features must be taken into account, so that the work is perfectly adapted.
The cuts from the 80s that will be worn this fall 2026
The aesthetics of the eighties are very recognizable and in hair matters too. The backcombing, the paraded, the short haircuts with a multitude of layers and the paraded bangs were the trademark of the house.
Mullet Pixie
In this version of the classic pixie, the structure of the mullet is added, thus obtaining the famous and flattering mixie. This cut is characterized by showing off the neck area and longer sideburns, while it has very short layers in the upper area, which even function as bangs. To give it a little more bounce, you can texture it with some hair wax and comb it with your fingers.
Bob with layers and volume
It is the medium-length hair cut of the moment and many women already sport this very sensual bob. The eighties version of the bob has won many points, for that flattering airy volume that gives more body to the hair. This bob is not straight or structured, but rather incorporates internal layers that give it that movement and elegant finish.
Shag for the modern
In the eighties there was no fear of layers or very sharp cuts, and the shag was a perfect example of this. The strands are outlined close to the face to frame the features, while the length has many disconnected layers that add volume and texture.
Wolf cut ideal for gaining volume
It's seeing this cut and immediately transporting us to the eighties. The wolf cut is a hybrid between the shag and the mullet. The length looks with many degraded layers and at the ends it is more plucked and lowered. Close to the face it provides movement and is usually accompanied with curtain-style bangs.
short curly hair cut
Curly hair was seen a lot in the eighties due to perms. And now it is curly hair that finds the perfect style in eighties cuts to enhance its texture and control curls. Cuts are worn with volume at the crown and a certain length in the nape area.
