While some TikTok hair trends are questionable at best, one seems to have the universal stamp of approval: U-shaped haircuts — and for good reason.
It’s no exaggeration that the U-shaped haircut looks good on everyone. Flowy and full of volume, this cut may be the answer to your hair prayers if you’re looking for an easy and subtle way to change up your look. But what exactly is a U-shaped haircut? How do you style it? And how to ask your hairstylist for one? See what the experts had to say below to answer all your burning questions.
What is a U-shaped haircut?
Aptly named, a U-shaped haircut is a cut where hair looks like the letter “U” in the back. Kimberly Gueldner, hairstylist and owner of Voel Hair Studio, explains that the cut gradually gets longer as you move from front layers to the back; it is meant to give you a softer layered look that has more flow and looks more natural. “You have more movement to the hair and can hold a style better because the hair isn't so heavy,” she says. “It tends to add volume as well.”
Ulta Beauty hairstylist Leonardo Valencia agrees and adds that most U-shaped cuts are a result of face-framing layers being connected to the perimeter of the ends of your hair.
