The stacked haircut is making a strong return—check out these 10 styles you’ll definitely want to try out now.

Once a trendy style in the '60s, the stacked bob has made a much-anticipated return. This timeless cut involves layered sections that create a full, rounded shape at the back of the head.

If you're thinking about trying it, experts say it suits all hair lengths—mid-length, short, or long—and even pairs well with trendy bangs, making it a flexible option for women with all types of hair.

Another big advantage? The added volume and fullness, making it an ideal choice for those with fine or thin hair. Plus, it’s easy to maintain—"the layers do require some styling but are super easy with just the use of volumizing spray or mousse, a round brush, velcro rollers or even hot rollers," explains Nunzio Saviano, celebrity hairstylist in New York City.

Next, top stylists share their favorite stacked haircuts to inspire your next hairstyle makeover.

Best Stacked Haircuts

1. Cheek-Length Stacked Bob

This style, which includes layers that reach the cheekbone, adds softness to the ends. According to Saviano, it's surprisingly low-maintenance and works well with all face shapes. Just make sure to get a trim every 10 weeks to keep the layers even and maintain the length.

2. Stacked A-Line Bob

This sharp-styled bob features front corners designed to elongate the face. The back is stacked with short layers to create a rounded silhouette. While it suits most face shapes, it's especially flattering for women with round faces who want to achieve an elongated, oval appearance.

3. Highlighted Stacked Haircut

Add some color to your stacked haircut with highlights for a vibrant, beautifully cut look. You can also enhance the style with hair accessories or playful clips to make it your own.

4. Edgy, Medium Stacked Haircut

Did you know that an edgy stacked haircut can create the illusion of a longer neck? If you’re skeptical, try this medium-textured bob with a more understated shape but enough movement for added texture. To enhance volume and texture, Jessica Walker, hairstylist at J Walker Salon Group, recommends keeping the hair longer and incorporating waves.

5. Long Stacked Haircut with Front Bangs

This collarbone-length stacked style with bangs not only frames the face but also adds depth and volume to your hair. Walker suggests trimming the bangs every six to eight weeks to maintain their shape.

6. Stacked Bob with Fringe

For a vintage-inspired vibe, consider a classic stacked bob with fringe. Typically chin-length, the bob can be adjusted to your preferred length. The fringe introduces an edgy touch and can be styled straight across, side-swept, or asymmetrical.

7. Stacked Haircut with Undercut

With this stacked lob, you can choose to either flaunt the undercut or keep it concealed. For a creative twist, ask your stylist to play with unique designs in the undercut area.

8. Side-Parted Stacked Bob

Pairing a side part (yes, they’re making a comeback!) with Ciara's chin-length stacked bob gives the hairstyle a lift and bouncy volume.

9. Blunt-Stacked Bob

For a sleek and refined look, discuss with your hairstylist about creating a stacked bob with a blunt cut. Style it with a flat iron (click to see our favorites) for a straight finish, or blow-dry it under with a round brush for a bouncy effect.

10. Short Stacked Haircut for Curly Hair

Stacked layers are a popular option for those looking to embrace their natural curls. This haircut is ideal for those with medium to tight curls and works best for round or oval face shapes. To maintain the look, regular trims are key to keeping curls in shape and preventing split ends, along with using leave-in conditioner or curl-defining cream to control frizz.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the difference between a stacked cut and a layered cut?

  The two haircuts differ significantly. A stacked cut involves angled layers, which create a graduated, sharper look. A layered cut, on the other hand, is cut along a straight line with long, short, or jagged layers.

• Is a stacked haircut good for thin hair?

  A stacked haircut is an excellent choice for thin hair. The layers create the illusion of volume, particularly at the crown where it's most needed. The shorter the cut, the more volume you’ll achieve, as the weight of longer hair won’t drag it down.
