Mouse haircut becomes autumn 2026 trend

A hairstyle called the mouse haircut is becoming popular for autumn 2026, inspired by the animal world and following earlier trends like the wolf cut and butterfly cut. Glamour UK highlights it as one of the key hair trends to follow, as reported by Cosmopolitan.

Features of the mouse haircut

The mouse haircut includes medium or long hair with discreet layers and a 1970s-style fringe that frames the face. The fringe, which lightly brushes the lashes, has been seen on celebrities like Taylor Swift and Dakota Johnson. The style keeps length, which is appealing to those who prefer not to go too short.

Celebrity endorsements

Celebrities such as Taylor Swift, Dakota Johnson, Daisy Edgar-Jones, Whitney Peak, and Jennifer Lawrence have been spotted with the mouse haircut. It is gradually replacing more dramatic shag styles on red carpets, according to Cosmopolitan.

Glamour UK’s styling advice

Glamour UK, via Cosmopolitan, advises embracing the natural texture of the hair instead of over-styling it. The recommendation is to avoid trying to tame the hair too much, suggesting a more relaxed and natural approach to the cut.
