Prepare to unleash your creativity and transform your look with the hottest trend set to take salons by storm: “The Prop.” This innovative style, a chic fusion of pixie and crop cuts, promises to be the ultimate statement in edgy and creative hair fashion. Join Andrew Heasman from Rush Hair as we explore why “The Prop” is the go-to look for the year and how you can make it your own.
2025: The Year of the Cut
“Following years of long waves and beautiful balayage, 2025 is the year to embrace the cut—a chance for clients and consumers to delve deep into their creativity and revamp their look with the hottest new trend!”
Introducing ‘The Prop’: The New Look of 2025
Get ready to see lengths getting shorter and cuts becoming more creative and edgy with ‘The Prop’—a cross between a pixie and a crop style. This cut is poised to take salons by storm in 2025. With more curved edges and blended layers, ‘The Prop’ will quickly become an iconic statement. Evolving from the original pixie, famously worn by Audrey Hepburn and Halle Berry, ‘The Prop’ proves that confidence is the best accessory, impeccably sported by these beloved figures.
What to Ask For
When visiting your preferred salon or stylist, and requesting ‘The Prop,’ make sure to ask for a longer-length pixie crop. It’s important to share references to your vision and chosen length, as hairdressers are highly creative and visual people. A visual reference is key to helping us put your hair plan into place. Key aspects to discuss during the consultation include length, layers, lifestyle, and maintenance. To achieve this look, focus on a rounded pixie with disconnection.
Who Can Rock It?
‘The Prop’ is incredibly versatile and can be tailored to suit every individual. The cut works beautifully with the natural texture of your hair and can be adjusted to complement your face shape. Those with heart-shaped or oval faces will see the style turn heads, thanks to the curves and angular lines working in harmony with the short, sharp cut. Similarly, those with round or long faces can have the cut tailored in length and definition to flatter their facial features.
Styling and Maintenance
Opting for this on-trend cut means enjoying low-maintenance styling—a win-win! I recommend using Goldwell Style Sign Dry Texture Spray to add subtle movement and a naturally textured feel to the look. For a more polished finish, use a light-hold pomade to mould the style, and complete with a spritz of Goldwell Stylesign Shine Spray.
