Say hello to layers.
November 18, 2022
If you’re on the hunt for a new haircut to switch up your beauty look, look no further than a U-shape haircut. The unique cut is flattering on all lengths of hair, whether you plan on rocking a long hairstyle or a short bob, and it’s easy to style, even at home. Ahead, we’re sharing what you need to know about the U-shaped haircut if you’re in the market for a new ‘do in the new year.
A U-shape haircut is similar to a V-shape haircut in that they both involve the middle of your hair being longer than the sides. The difference is that a U-shaped haircut is a subtler option, providing plenty of layers. The style keeps your hair a more even length throughout, with only a slight difference between the middle and sides. Basically, the ends of your hair will look as though they form a “U” shape.
Because the U-shape haircut involves layers, it’s great for thin hair because the layers will increase volume and make your strands look fuller. Thick hair types also won’t be left out, as the U-shape haircut will also work for you because the layering can reduce weight and add more movement to your hair.
If you’ve just gotten a U-shaped cut, you may be wondering how to style your hair to show off your new ‘do. Luckily for you, a U shape haircut leaves plenty of room to get creative in the hair styling department. Read on to find some of the best hairstyle ideas for a U-shape haircut.
