Move over, long locks! Maya Jama has officially entered the world of shoulder-grazing bobs, following the biggest haircut trend of autumn 2025. The Love Island presenter stunned fans with a fresh and bouncy debut on Instagram, documenting the dramatic chop with a two-part video story.
Gone is the era of sleek buns and whisper‑soft waves, and instead, Maya's new 'do is serving classic chic with added (yet still subtle) texture and curls. See all that we're describing below.
Once a timeless staple, now the trend du jour – the bob is back (though it never really left). The proof? Celebrities like Pamela Anderson, Angelina Jolie and now Maya chopping their locks, not to mention the overwhelming amount of short haircuts spotted on the spring/summer 2026 runways... hello Scandi bob!
Not only that, but the bob is great for those with particularly fine hair because it adds the illusion of fullness and volume. And in Maya's case, this is enhanced further with the texture and curls. To achieve a finish alike, we recommend using a blow-dry brush or multi-styler on damp hair.
Still not convinced? Well, below, see three more times that Maya has rocked a short hairstyle. Behold: the naturally curly bob, the preppy lob and the bouncy red bouffant.
IDK about you, but I'm booking in for a trim ASAP!
