here is the most trendy and easy to live with square cut for this summer

We told you, the square cut is one of the most trendy haircuts for spring-summer 2023. Among all the trendy squares of the moment, the degraded square is certainly the most popular of all, as it comes in multiple lengths and styles. More or less long or structured, it is revealed in a long layered bob, a chopped bob or even a mullet-style bob. From now on, we will also add to this list of gradient squares the cut bob or cub cut, a new gradient square which is already announced to be the flagship cut of the summer season. “Think of it as a mix between a shag, a mullet and a bob“explains hairdresser Syd Hayes, interviewed by UK Glamorto give us an idea of ​​what it looks like.

It is also thanks to these explanations that we better understand its English name, “cub cut” literally meaning “cub cut”. True wolf cut mix (“wolf cut”) which was popular last year and the short square bob which has been super trendy since winter, it is the short version of this ultra degraded cut. The cub cut also reinvents its characteristic set of locks by appropriating the different layers of hair created by the gradient pronounced wolf cut, on much shorter locks. As a key, a very airy short bob which promises to save us from the heat this summer.

What are the differences with the other short squares of the summer?

The cub cut square stands out from other short squares such as the Italian bob, the box bob or the chopped bob by its more daring and disheveled look. Although that doesn’t stop it from being chic, “It’s definitely for customers who want something more extreme but still laid back” explains the hairdresser.

A square that is easy to adopt and personalize

The tips of the cub cut square can come just above your shoulders or flirt with the height of your chin depending on your preference. A godsend to wear it whatever the shape of your face and your hair type. Its pronounced gradient is ideal for lightening the hair when you have thick hair, but also for giving volume to fine hair. With or without bangs, or even embellished with a wick on the side, it can also adapt to your morphology and your desires easily. People with curly and wavy hair can dare to go natural, without bothering to transform their hair beforehand for an ever wilder style.

How to style your cub cut bob this summer?

This is also the whole point of this short, layered square cut: you won’t have to spend hours styling it. If brushing may be necessary to discipline its possible fringe or lock, the rest of its lengths are worn rather natural and supple, wavy if needed. A simple hint of styling product such as salt water spray or volumizing powder can therefore be quite enough to restore texture to the cut before going out. Another tip from the hairdresser: use the diffuser tip of your hair dryer to replace brushing after shampooing. This accessory designed to gently dry curly hair is perfect for boosting volume and styling the cut without making it look too stuffy. Finally, do not hesitate to transform it with a parting on the side, a trendy detail that gives it a whole new look.
