14 Ways To Wear the Classic Bowl Cut
The bowl cut is back and better than ever! Check out how to rock the bowl cut for women.
It’s no secret that what’s old is new again in the world of beauty. This is clearly evidenced in the resurgence of the bowl cut hair of the ’70s and ’80s. You probably recall this short haircut as the reluctant ‘do that your Mom forced upon you as a child, complete with a rounded cut and short bangs. While this look is forever emblazoned in your school pictures, you have probably seen some updates, as evidenced by celebs.
14 Trendy Ways to Wear a Bowl Cut
Ready to go for this short, trendy look? Check out 14 bowl cut ideas to inspire your new look.
1. Mullet Bowl Cut
If you’re looking to maintain your length while embracing the soft curve of this haircut, keep it slightly longer for a more feminine rendition of the look. This mullet version of the bowl cut looks especially on trend when it’s sleek, thanks to a blowout. To keep the smooth post-blowout, use TRESemmé Ultra Fine Hair Spray to help make your hair humidity-resistant and frizz-free.
2. Heavy Bangs
Love bangs and short hair? Then this look is for you! Opt for a rounded cut that circles your head with a long fringe. The beauty of this look allows you to cover your forehead or clip your hair to the side when needed. To smooth your bangs out and avoid frizz, use TRESemmé One Step Styler Sleek Cream with UV complex. Apply it on damp hair, avoiding roots, and style as usual, or use on dry hair to avoid flyaways post-styling.
3. Bowl Cut Hair and Highlights
Jazz your cut even more with a bit of some color. We love this edgy look paired with bold highlights, like this deep red, that can add definition to your face. These vibrant red streaks also add a lot of personality to your style.
4. Classic Bowl Look
Or maybe only the classic look will do for you? Luckily that version is still going strong, too. This look is all about a rounded cut that’s complemented with short bangs and a layered frame. If this is a bowl short cut you’re going for, be sure to get regular cuts to maintain this fierce look.
5. Short Bowl Haircut
This bowl haircut features short hair length with a super-long fringe. The hair underneath may be shaved, and a fringe can optionally be parted in the middle and styled as curtain bangs.
6. Colorful Undercut Bowl Haircut
Pink coily hair pairs perfectly with a voluminous bowl haircut. A shaved temple brings the long top up a bit higher and gives this hairstyle a modern twist. We love a style like this one that adds lots of height!
7. Short Choppy Bowl Cut
The uneven cut line is anything but boring. If your hair is short and straight, a bowl haircut with short choppy bangs will give it the desired texture, as well as a modern look. Consider this bleach blonde hue, as well!
8. ‘Mushroom’ Bowl Cut
Back in the day, you may have been called a ‘mushroom head,’ but these days your hair will be #OnFleek. Shorted underneath layers give this haircut volume and height at the back.
9. Crop Bowl Cut
You can bring the top of your bowl cut a little higher, like in a crop cut. And if you have natural curls, they’ll play on the contrast by adding texture and volume to your hairstyle.
10. Short Bangs Layered Bowl Cut
If you add layers, like in a shag haircut, or style your bowl cut a little bit messy, this makes a big difference in the overall look. Cut your fringe shorter, leaving your tresses tousled to achieve this trendy style.
11. Layered with Side Bangs Bowl Cut
For those who want to experiment with side parting, we recommend creating a medium-length, layered bowl cut. Then, just sweep your hair off to one side, fix it with a styling wax, and you are ready.
12. Ear-Length Bowl Cut
This ear-length bowl cut looks great with any hair color or texture, but we really love the voluminous effect that messy styling and highlights give it. Short fringe is easy to manage and makes your hair look thicker.
13. Long and Curly Bowl Cut
Naturally curly hair gives an amazing opportunity to add volume and texture to the classic bowl haircut. Just ask your stylist to cut your curls medium length and follow the bowl shape.
14. Long Fringe Medium Bowl Cut
To give your cut a softer look, try medium length like it’s a little bit overgrown. Separate a thick, long fringe and let it flow to your forehead. You can also style your long bangs side-swept!
