Blunt, straight across cuts in every length imaginable. Most gals love a dramatic change to match the cooling, darker weather, and <a class=\"rank-math-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/archive\/2017-hair-trends\/\">bobs<\/a> have become the go-to for drastic difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Blunt cut revival<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This year, it&#8217;s not so much about where the hair falls (below the chin, above the shoulder, or at the collarbone, for example). Nope, it&#8217;s all about the shape in which the ends are clipped. And we do mean clipped. As plenty of hairdressers have shown us, this look happens when clippers and a comb hit the ends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A quick scroll through Instagram&#8217;s explore page shows the trend isn&#8217;t just happening here, stateside. From Paris to Dubai, blunt cuts are popping up everywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read on for the need-to-know info before you head to the chopping block.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&#8217;90s-inspired<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"414\" height=\"414\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/0b9bdfba617761b25e88f7db9b0aeff5-blunt-cuts-lob-blunt.jpg\" alt=\"Brunette woman with long, blunt cut \" class=\"wp-image-115695\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/0b9bdfba617761b25e88f7db9b0aeff5-blunt-cuts-lob-blunt.jpg 414w, https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/0b9bdfba617761b25e88f7db9b0aeff5-blunt-cuts-lob-blunt-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/0b9bdfba617761b25e88f7db9b0aeff5-blunt-cuts-lob-blunt-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/0b9bdfba617761b25e88f7db9b0aeff5-blunt-cuts-lob-blunt-65x65.jpg 65w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 414px) 100vw, 414px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Haven&#8217;t we had enough of the &#8216;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/archive\/90s-winter-fashion\/\" class=\"rank-math-link\">90s revival<\/a>? These cuts suggest otherwise. Uniformity is key to this style, so you&#8217;ll want to be comfortable with your locks left normal or stick straightened. Put away the round brush and perfection-oriented mindset to rock this look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Texture&#8217;s a go<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"610\" height=\"915\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/solange-hair-textured-bob.jpg\" alt=\"Solange with a textured, blunt cut\" class=\"wp-image-115744\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/solange-hair-textured-bob.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/solange-hair-textured-bob-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 610px) 100vw, 610px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;ve got curls, waves, kinks or anything in between, this is the fun, low-maintenance cut you&#8217;ve been waiting for. The shape of the cut <em>is<\/em> the style, all on its own, so there&#8217;s not too much added work involved. Whatever you use to tame and frame your natural texture normally should do just fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bang-a-rang<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"726\" height=\"739\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/bangs-long-blunt-cut.jpg\" alt=\"Collarbone-length blunt cut with straight bangs\" class=\"wp-image-115745\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/bangs-long-blunt-cut.jpg 726w, https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/bangs-long-blunt-cut-295x300.jpg 295w, https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/bangs-long-blunt-cut-65x65.jpg 65w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 726px) 100vw, 726px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><br>If length is one way to differentiate your blunt cut from the next, bangs adds an extra level of originality. Perfect for babes who really want to up the ante with a whole new look, matching blunt bangs offer the ultimate double take and looks particularly striking on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/archive\/best-bangs-face-shape\/\" class=\"rank-math-link\">long faces<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Work with your stylist for a fringe dusting that best suits your individual hair thickness. If you&#8217;ve got the hair for it, go for a straight across cut that mimics the ends of your tresses. Longer, straight bangs give you a &#8217;70s respite, while shorter crops deliver a more mod take.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>They say life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall.
