“The Shift” Haircut of Spring ’21

Edgy and Raw

What sets “the shift” apart from other short haircuts is the way layers play into the trend. Edgy, raw, and structure-less, this haircut is ideal for the undone vibes we’re all embracing when the warmer weather hits.

Play with color too!

This haircut adds a pop of personality to your natural shade of hair and works extremely well with more unexpected colors. This pastel pink hue pictured above is a great example of a way to experiment with both color and cut.

How to Style “The Shift”

If you’re at a loss for how to style your fresh cut, we’ve got you covered:

If you’re looking for ways to make the most of the edgier aspects of this style, consider amping up your hair product game, too. Use Bed Head by TIGI Wax Stick to add texture and grit to your ends and tailor the cut to your personal style. Apply the wax stick directly to your ends or apply the product to your fingers first and then work it through your strands.

If you’re looking for a smoother finish for a more polished finish, consider a smoother version of this style. Comb your shift haircut down gently and mist it with TRESemmé Compressed Micro Mist Smooth Hold Level 2 Hair Spray. This spray smoothes your strands without making them sticky or weighing them down.
