jellyfish cut
If you're feeling indecisive, you can get the best of both worlds with a jellyfish cut, which is a hybrid of a bob and mullet. Striking, modern and a bit avant-garde. It consists of one short blunt layer and a detached long layer, which separates the hair into her two distinct parts. You can choose a more subtle jellyfish style with short, choppy bangs, or go all-out with dramatic tiered layers.
wolf cut
After gaining attention on TikTok in 2021, the wolf cut is officially trending again. Beloved for its low-maintenance styling ability, the wolf cut is a more choppy, messy, and voluminous version of the classic shag. This is a picky mullet. There is a long, wispy layer at the back and a short, choppy layer towards the front.
velvet crop
Somewhere between a buzz cut and a pixie, the velvet crop gets its name from its soft, suede-like texture. It's a few inches longer than an all-over buzz, and can be worn messy or parted and swept back. For more dimension, bleach the look all over or choose a playful shade of pink or blue.
italian bob
If you're used to the '20s-style French bob (a blunt cut that usually falls just above the jawbone), the Italian bob is its slightly longer, messy sister.Inspired by Simona Tabasco's lob white lotus, Italian bob looks best when sprayed with sea salt spray and left to air dry. For a change, add a voluminous mousse and a deep side part.
kitty cut
Kitty cuts are perfect for people who want to change up their look without making a drastic cut. He borders on Wolf with a '70s vibe to his cut, featuring soft textures, layers that frame the face, and feathery ends. Kitty cuts look great on most hair types and lengths, and they look best when worn to accentuate your natural texture.
wicky cut
Described as the “winged pixie cut,” the Wixie is an edgier version of the classic pixie cut. A wickie with messy layers, wispy parts, and a bit of hair at the back is the perfect style if you want to grow out a super short cut. Experiment with styling with great texturing products, quality combs, and smoothing gels.
halo cut
It's hard to imagine that any version of the infamous bowl cut could be described as “flattering,” but the halo cut is exactly that. It has a rounded silhouette similar to a short bob, and is characterized by a fluffy and voluminous feel. The halo effect is achieved by sticking to round, bouncy curls and tendrils that frame the face, without choppy layers or hard edges.
micro bob
Long enough to give all kinds of styling opportunities, the microbob is a modern classic. Located at the nape of the neck, this hairstyle doesn't reach pixie (or “wixie”) territory and can be styled naturally and looks great with curled ends or slicked back with gel. Masu. For even more flair, add a collection of clips or a row of bobby pins around your hairline.
