40. Neck-Length Jaggy Crop. If your hair is on the thicker side, aim to reduce its weighty feel with slicing or feathering. It will enhance the dimension and movement of your hair.

Deciding to go for one of the current short layered haircuts is a brave move – you can’t just hide your mane in a messy bun if you don’t like it! That’s why it’s important to be clear on how you want it to look. Yes, you can get ideas from your stylist, but without having done your homework, you may end up with hair you don’t want – and then there’s no turning back! Lucky for you, we have compiled an extensive list of crops that are very trendy right now to inspire you for your next makeover!

Why to go for piece-y looks? It’s an effortless way to shape and add fullness to fine thin hair, but it can also remove bulk from the ends, distribute and reduce volume in thick wavy manes. Textured crops can also be adapted to flatter almost any face shape, building a universal look many modern women embrace. Plus, they bring a youthful vibe – and who could say no to looking younger?!

1. Tapered Pixie with Bangs. No list of crops would be complete without a tapered pixie! The long, side-swept bangs are ideal for adding dimension and perfect for round faces.

2. Bixie with Beautiful Bangs. Is there anything we don’t love about crops with bangs? It’s a perfect combo! Especially if the hair is aptly textured.

3. Neck-Length Disconnected Bob. Classic but still on-trend. This effortless-looking style gives your hair texture and creates a smooth flow of each strand. It’s especially flattering for ladies who have thin or fine hair.

4. Soft Messy Pixie Bob. Growing out your pixie doesn’t have to be painful. This one is super cute, stylish, and easy – and will look particularly good on fine curly hair.

5. Edgy Choppy Bob. Making the ends thinner and fluffier, this crop results in an edgy textured style. It’s one of the most sought-after hairdos because it can flatter any face shape and hair type.

6. Asymmetrical Stacked Bixie. We’re huge fans of this modern look. Blonde highlights add more texture, and create an illusion of fullness, which is ideal for fine hair.

7. Delicate Flipped-Up Bob. This lob could look basic and drab but those flippy ends bring fun and movement. We also gotta give credit to the chic blonde sombre and face-framing bangs.

8. Perfectly Shaped Bob. When it comes to semi bobs, making them angled can produce a look that’s both stylish, and playful!

9. Medium Blunt Bob. Feel weightless with one of the top picks of crops in 2024. Style it sleek straight or tease some sections to create the illusion of airy hair tousled by the wind.

15. Rounded Cropped Bob. Add extra swag and sway to a classic bob by texturizing your hair towards the back. This crop looks classy and less rigid. The rounded shape also makes your bob appear fuller.
