We consulted top stylists to gather all the essential details about the clavicut—continue reading to discover if this celebrity-favorite look could be your next hairstyle.
What Is the Clavicut?
This blunt, collarbone-length hairstyle, often seen on red carpets, is the latest hair trend. Celebrity stylist Laura Polko notes, “Slightly longer than a bob, this cut offers versatility, allowing you to style it in a sleek ponytail, bun, or even a long-bob. Whether you prefer a bold, textured look or a smooth, polished finish, this cut adapts to your personal style.”
What to Ask Your Stylist For
When requesting this hairstyle, clarity is crucial. Just like any relationship, effective communication with your stylist is essential. Purvis advises, “Ask for a long bob, or lob, that’s even in length without any forward angles.” Don’t forget to emphasize the desired length—ending right at the collarbone is key to achieving this iconic look.
How to Style the Clavicut
One of the standout features of this haircut is its simplicity in styling. For soft, natural waves, Polko suggests using a texturizing spray like Joico’s Beach Shake on damp hair. Follow up with a styling tool, such as the DigitalAIRE Hot Air Brush, curling inward for a relaxed, tousled finish.
For a smoother, polished appearance, Purvis recommends applying a lightweight product like Davines Oi Milk to wet hair, then blow-drying with a round brush for added volume. Once dry, finish with a hair cream such as Blue Dunes Moonage Haircream to tame frizz and flyaways, leaving you red-carpet-ready in minutes.
