Blunt haircuts are most often done on straight hair.
A blunt haircut is a type of style that is used for straight locks. A stylist dramatically cuts a person’s hair to make it look straighter. People with wavy and curly hair can also have this style, although certain preparatory steps must be taken. While bob styles are considered a blunt type of haircut, this cut can also be used for medium length hair. Blunt styles can also be worn with or without bangs.
The easiest type of blunt haircut is for medium length hair. A stylist cuts the hair straight at the ends and does not let the length exceed the chest. This type of cut is preferred by those who want a clean look, but also by those who want to maintain the ease and versatility of wearing their hair up occasionally.
There is a misconception that short locks need to be layered and that a blunt cut is not enough. A blunt haircut can be used if a person wants extremely short hair, as long as it is shaped in a flattering way around the face. To avoid a coarse look, the short blunt hairstyle should only be worn on people with rectangular or oval faces. A less severe alternative for all face shapes is a blunt haircut with varying lengths at the ends.
One drawback to having a blunt haircut is that the hair can feel sticky. This effect tends to be worse in people who have fine hair. One solution is to cut your bangs in a unique way. For example, straight locks can be complemented with textured fringes. Bowl cut bangs can also make this type of cut look less harsh and more feminine.
Blunt haircuts are generally not worn on people with curly or wavy hair because they won’t benefit from the dramatic effect of the style. At the same time, many men and women with this hair type want a straight cut, as it makes their locks less frizzy. These people should keep in mind that going for this style will not texture curly and wavy hair. If you want to add texture, you need to straighten your hair with a flat iron or have it done professionally at a salon. Smoothing products such as shampoos and gels may also be necessary to maintain the style.
