Exit the butterfly cut, the “marquise layers” is the most trendy cut of 2025 (a fresh look for your hair)

In 2025, the trend for long hair continues… For this, it is important to take care of your skin but also your hair. Beautiful hair can completely change the way we feel. This is why many people opt for the layered haircut too called the “marquise layers”. It offers unrivaled facial framing and softens features.

Named in honor of the marquise shape, this hairstyle helps frame the face by encircling the eyes, cheeks and lips, thus bringing definition and structure in our face. The strands end in a point at the forehead and chin, then gently wrap around the cheeks to create a marquise-shaped frame which provides bounce and movement, two highly coveted characteristics.

“People like gradients more and more”

This hairstyle is increasingly adopted according to an expert: “People like more and more gradients in their hair and with this marquise gradient, it is much more heavy on top“, explained Zoe Irwin, color and hair trend forecaster. And continued: “There are many more weight throughout the hair, so it’s not a shaggy ’90s hairstyle like Rachel’s that we often see.”

“Layers tend to be longer. They appear thicker and the layering is done on the last few inches of the cut, so this is suitable for someone who wants a little more movement in her hair“she said. And to add : “As for styling, we dry the hair with a hairdryer to give them volume“

Why choose marquise gradients?

Hair of only one length is suitable short cuts or bobsbut if it is of medium length or shorter, the lack of layers can make the hair look like it is a shapeless foot

In the same way that makeup artists use professional techniques To balance light and shadow and harmonize features (such as contouring and highlighting), carefully constructed layers throughout the hair can also provide definition and relief.

How to create this kind of cut?

A great haircut can do a lot of the work, but to achieve a beautiful fade, hairstyle is just as essential. As for the cut, ask your hairdresser to propose gradients of long and medium lengths gently distributed throughout the hair.

As for the styling, that’s what allows this hairstyle to take off. “If you look at this picture, it’s really high up, so if your hair is quite heavy or longthey absolutely have to have a little body, so you have to dry them with a hairdryer”, concluded the specialist.
