Blunt Haircut FAQ's

What is a blunt haircut?

A blunt haircut is characterised by its straight, even edges, with all strands cut to the same length. If you like a ‘perfect’ straight haircut, it’s an easy choice,. Unlike layered cuts, which involve varying lengths throughout the hair, a blunt cut is all about uniformity. This precision cut can be applied to any hair length, from short bobs to long, flowing locks, although curly hair sadly isn’t quite so effective.

A blunt haircut is simple but effective. The straight edges create a clean, sharp look that draws attention to every detail. There’s lots of choice too; short long, bob, asymmetrical bob, lob, bangs… You name it! It’s modern yet classic.

What are your options for a blunt haircut?

Blunt Bob: The blunt bob works particularly well on straight hair, as it showcases the clean lines of the cut. Falling just below the chin, this is the classic option alongside a blunt lob for short to medium length hair.
Long Blunt Haircut: If you have long hair, are easygoing and want to stick with something manageable, a long blunt cut is a great choice. The uniform length at the ends adds weight and density to the hair, making it appear fuller and healthier.
Blunt Lob: The blunt lob as we mentioned earlier (or long bob as it’s sometimes known) falls somewhere between a bob and long hair. It’s a medium length haircut; if you’re unsure Google is always your friend for this type of thing. Typically cut to just above or below the shoulders, the blunt lob that works with most face shapes and in that sense it can appeal to most.
Blunt Bangs: This is much more of a daring choice and is likely to get peoples attention. If you consider yourself to be more edgy, incorporating blunt bangs into your haircut whereby blunt bangs are cut straight across the forehead, creating a bold, graphic line. They can be paired with any length of hai.

Pros of Blunt Haircut

Maintenance: A blunt haircut is one of the lower maintenance options when compared to other haircut choices insofar as there are no varying lengths to manage, styling is straightforward and doesn’t require a lot of time or effort. There is also scope if you need to put your hair up then you can do so.
Easy to Style: With a blunt haircut, styling is usually easier than layered haircuts. One upside is that while most believe blunt cuts can only be worn straight, that’s far from the case. Whether you choose to wear it straight, wavy, or curled, the even length of the cut means that you won’t have to worry about awkward layers or uneven ends. This makes a blunt cut an excellent option for those who prefer minimal styling. Finally, if you are beginning to showcase uneven ends then styling can somewhat mask this for a few extra weeks where needed!

Cons of getting a Blunt Haircut

Lack of Movement: Whilst it may work for some, because a blunt cut is all about uniform length, it may lack the movement and texture in some cases. In this instance, a layered cut might offer greater effectiveness. If you have very thick or heavy hair, the haircut might appear too flat or rigid if blunt.
Not ideal for Curly Hair: The even lengths that come with a blunt haircut when applied to curly hair can make curls stack on top of each other, creating thickness. In such cases, layers are often recommended to help distribute the volume more evenly.

Conclusion - is a blunt Haircut right for you?

A blunt haircut is an easy choice, maintainable and a timeless classic with a modern edge. That being said, if you have very thick or curly hair, there are better options to maximise your hair texture.

Before making a firm decision on your next haircut, consider your hair type, face shape, and lifestyle. If you’re ready for a change, book a consultation with your hairdresser to discuss the best approach for your hair.
