The C-shape haircut has become super popular for many clients especially clients with hair on the thinner side.
The C-shape cut gets it’s name from the way its face-framing layers are cut into "c" shapes. The layers typically begin at the chin length and curve inward. It's a versatile style that works for practically anyone. The C-shape haircut works great on anyone with longer hair — especially people with thick hair — because it removes weight and bulk.
If you have short or fine hair, the cut gives hair texture and volume, and it actually has the ability to make hair look longer thanks to the way it falls.
How is a C-Shape Haircut Different From a V-Shape or U-Shape Cut?
All the alphabet-themed cut names can get a little confusing, so let me quickly break the most popular ones down for you. The C-shape haircut heavily affects face framing, whereas the V-shape cut is mainly sharp layering throughout the hair. U-shape is a rounded look with the longest hair in the middle and the sides sculpted shorter.
The C-shape cut is the addition of wispy bangs and face framing pieces. - Seamlessly connected which gives a sexy soft look.
What are the benefits of the C-shape haircut?
Besides all of the above, the main benefit of the U-shape haircut is that you can play around with the length, going as short as the shoulder blades to the mid back. It features face-framing layers, which lend dimension and stop hair looking limp.
Sleek, straight hair will also work well with the C-shape haircut, as will a bouncy blow-dry or you might be more of an air-dried hair person. You can still easily style this cut using a heat-free method.
How is this look achieved?
To achieve the look, the hair is “split down the middle of the head from the front to the nape of the neck, it is pulled forward on each side and vertically cut to create face-framing c-shape.- It works great with a fringe, longer bangs and on hair where distinctive layers have already been cut. Internal layering are cut in underneath the top section of hair to accentuates the style, this instantly adds more volume and texture.
With any layered style it's best to get regular trims to maintain the style. I tend to recommend my clients to rebook every six to eight weeks, just to dust away any split ends.
Thanks for stopping by.
