Hailee Steinfeld’s career has always been in the spotlight, from her dynamic acting roles to her musical success, drawing fans worldwide. But it’s her latest transformation—her fresh bob haircut—that has captured even more attention. Sitting down with Allure, Steinfeld shared the secrets behind her bouncy, voluminous hair and the personal significance of her new style.
The newly cropped bob isn’t just a trendy change for Steinfeld—it’s a reflection of where she’s at in life. She reveals that her hair has always been long for the majority of her life, but the new short length represents a moment of personal growth. “It just felt like a moment of inviting change, excitement, and new energy,” she says. “I may have gotten a little woo-woo with it like ‘I’m getting rid of old energy,’ but it really felt good, and I do feel like this is really me at this moment.”
In terms of maintaining her flawless style, Steinfeld credits the Nexxus Hy Volume collection for helping her achieve weightless, silky, and voluminous hair with minimal effort. The three-product line—shampoo ($16), conditioner ($16), and Weightless Lift Cloud Foam Treatment ($18)—has become a staple in her hair care routine. “It truly makes a difference in the feel of my hair. It feels light and bouncy, and I look like I just walked out of the salon,” she shares.
Steinfeld also opened up about her love for writing, something she’s always been passionate about, especially after her role in Dickinson, where she portrayed the iconic poet Emily Dickinson. The experience deepened her connection to writing as a form of self-expression. “I love to physically write on paper—nothing compares to that,” Steinfeld admits. “If I wake up feeling some kind of way, it doesn’t have to be perfect—it’s just about getting something off my heart and onto paper.”
This love for writing led Steinfeld to launch Beau Society, a newsletter that connects her with fans in a more personal, thoughtful way than social media. “It’s a safe space to chat and to have people talk about their expertise,” she explains. “It’s like having a conversation with friends every week, and I’ll never run out of things to talk about.”
Her newsletter, which covers everything from recipes to mental health, has become an outlet where she can share deeper, more meaningful content. Despite the challenges of coming up with weekly topics, Steinfeld finds joy in the process and the genuine connections it creates with her audience.
Whether it’s embracing a bold new hairstyle or opening up through writing, Hailee Steinfeld continues to evolve in both her personal and professional life, making her journey one to watch.
