Whether you prefer a daring blunt pixie or smooth, retro-inspired 70s hair, blunt cuts are versatile enough for any hair length. We spoke with top celebrity hairstylists to discover the most popular blunt cut trends currently making waves in salons and on the runway.
1. Blunt Bangs with a Pixie Cut

Adding blunt bangs to pixie-length hair can completely redefine its look, creating a striking focal point. “I adore choppy styles with blunt ends, such as Katy’s iconic blonde look, as they offer a mix of texture and movement that contrasts beautifully with blunt bangs,” Cucinello explains.
2. French Bob with Bangs

Cucinello notes that the French bob with bangs is a major trend for 2023, yet it remains a timeless choice. “This style is incredibly versatile—whether you wear it pin-straight or with gentle, natural waves, it always exudes elegance and is effortless to manage,” he shares. “You can let it air dry with a leave-in conditioner or use a flat iron for a sleek, polished finish.”
3. Classic Old Hollywood Bob

This timeless blunt cut is among the most iconic styles. “Contrary to what many think, the classic old Hollywood bob is incredibly easy to style, especially when you embrace your natural texture,” says . “I adore how women with natural waves or curls can simply let their hair air dry for this look.” A few touch-ups around the face with curls can create a beautifully effortless, lived-in appearance.

Blunt Bob Cut with Bangs

Elevate your blunt bob by pairing it with bold, blunt bangs. “This style is my absolute favorite,” says Trygstad. “The combination of a blunt bob and blunt bangs feels incredibly modern and revitalizes a timeless haircut.”
5. Bell-Bottom Bob

The 70s revival brings back the bell-bottom bob, characterized by its flipped-out ends for a relaxed, effortless vibe. (Kristen Wiig showcased this look at the 2024 Emmys.) The flared ends add extra movement and volume, setting it apart from traditional bob styles.
6. Tapered Bob

This tapered bob resembles a shag but is specifically designed for naturally curly hair. Johnson highlights that this cut is perfect for those with curls, as it simplifies styling. “The shape provides all the structure you need—just pair it with the right products,” Johnson explains.
7. The Bixie

Johnson describes the “bixie” as a blend of a bob and a pixie cut. “It looks stunning both when blown out and with natural texture, making it incredibly versatile and easy to style,” she notes.
8. Asymmetrical Cut With Side Part

Asymmetric and stacked hairstyles are making a strong comeback. While layers and texture can enhance these styles, a blunt cut adds a sleek, contemporary edge.
9. Lob with No Layering

Trygstad notes that lob haircuts remain highly popular. “I’m noticing a trend of lobs with no layering at all, styled pin-straight, making a strong comeback.”
10. Medium-Length Blunt Cut with Diamond Bangs

This style showcases how blunt curtain bangs beautifully complement long blunt-cut hair. “Notice how the cheekbone-length, center-parted bangs form a diamond shape that mirrors the lower face?,” Cucinello remarks. “It’s an absolutely stunning look!”
11. 70s Blunt Cut

This cut channels the 70s vibe with a center part and pin-straight styling—no volume or body. “Interestingly, my younger clients are bringing back the flatiron, as if the 90s have returned and it’s the only styling tool they need,” Trygstad explains.
12. Mermaid Hair with Blunt Bangs

“Long, flowing hair paired with blunt, eyebrow-grazing bangs and minimal tapering at the ends is both timeless and trendy,” Cucinello states. “When styled pin-straight, this look undergoes a dramatic transformation, appearing just as stunning on Riley Keogh as the wavy, mermaid-inspired version.”
