We know when we say wedge, an undercut isn’t the first thing you think of, but how amazing is this edgy style? Build even more volume with a wedge cut by creating an undercut gradient. By thinning out the bottom, you’re creating more volume on top.

13. Barely There

Create a barely-there baby wedge.

This cut isn’t quite a wedge hairstyle, it’s the cute little sister. Go for a shorter pixie cut but create some different lengths by the sides of your ears and in the back of your cut. We love how feminine and soft this cut is!

14. Longer Side Lengths

Go for a longer length on the side.

We love a more grown-out wedge haircut. If when you first got this cut it was a little too short for your liking, just wait until it gets longer and then re-cut it just in the back for a new length. Style this length with a blowout. Get the most professional-looking style by prepping with Nexxus Weightless Style Smooth & Full Blow Dry Balm.

15. Choppy Wedge Haircut
