Blunt Haircut: Everything You Need To Know

Blunt haircuts to inspire your next look.

You've probably been thinking about different hairstyles and wondering which look to choose for the coming year. Well, here's a hint: blunt haircuts.

Blunt haircuts have been trendy and a big-time favorite among French women. In 2025, they might just be the look for you. They are quite chic and classic and won’t back down in a fight among some of the most timeless looks.

We know that going for a chop, especially if your hair is long, might sound scary. But if you’ve made up your mind and are looking for a style, one haircut that won’t disappoint is the blunt cut. And unsurprisingly, a big chop isn't necessary at times with a blunt cut because there are different ways to wear it.

Not to leave you lost on where to start, we’ve got something here for you. Check out this haircut that ticks all the boxes.

What is a Blunt Haircut?

A blunt haircut is a style that has no layers. It’s straight, clean, and cut to the same length all around. In other words, the ends are blunt, leaving you with a smooth, even finish—nothing pointy.

When your stylist gives you this cut, you’ll notice it keeps your hair looking thick and full.

Who Looks Good in a Blunt Haircut?

Some would say those with oval-shaped faces. However, regardless of your face shape, a blunt haircut can compliment you. Just go for a length that works with your style and features, and you will be all set.

A short-length blunt cut is perfect for women with square-shaped and heart faces. Those with oval faces can go for longer lengths if they want to.

In terms of hair texture, women with straight hair will love how sleek this cut keeps their strands. For those with fine hair, the blunt cut creates the illusion of thicker locks, making it a good option too. It’s also a great choice for women with thick, curly, or wavy hair since it's versatile and can suit anyone.

How Can I Maintain a Blunt Haircut?

We know you’ve decided on it, but before you head to the salon, keep in mind that this style requires a bit more maintenance than a regular layered cut.

First, you need to stick to your usual hair care routine to prevent split ends. Then, visit the salon every four to six weeks for a trim to keep it looking blunt and clean.

If you can do it all, then maintaining your haircut should not be a problem.

16 Blunt Haircut for Any Hair Texture and Face Shape

1. Shoulder-Length With Full Fringe

We're in love with this look and you've likely been able to tell why. From the fringe to the color and length, this is just perfection.

Recreate this by going for a shoulder-length cut, then give the bangs a curve so it grazes your eyes a little. If you don't have a short hair length, hope is not lost—customize a wig to achieve this style.

2. Wavy Bob With Bangs

We're thankful to Zazie Beetz for proving blunt cuts are achievable with wavy hair, as we've said. And just as we thought, it looks phenomenal.

The way she styled it emphasized her features and framed her face beautifully, making us short of words and slightly leaning towards the wavy blunt haircuts (smiles).

3. Chin-Length

This can cut like a knife! And there's nothing more we want than that. It's fierce yet classy and elegant all at once.

To style this, keep your hair blunt and on your chin, then go for a light color to add shine to your look. But if you want to keep your hair untouched, styling a wig is another option.

4. Textured Lob

Are we obsessed? Of course, we are. Although you might think there's nothing to see here, there is a lot. The length and texture alone have us floored—with the texture giving the illusion of voluminous, thick hair and length being perfect for those who want a short hairstyle but one that’s longer than a bob.

5. Sleek Middle Part

After styling this, you'll be unstoppable. So, get your products, wash, dry, and moisturize to keep your hair looking good. By following through with the steps, you'll be taming frizz, and keeping your hair smooth and shiny.

Note: Those who wear wigs do not have to wash regularly.

6. Long With Loose Waves

Emma Stone doesn't disappoint with her looks. You can count on her for some juicy hairstyles and the long, loose waves blunt haircut proves that.

It's so perfect yet easy to style. But before you recreate this, make sure to wash your hair first. It will help keep your hair fresh and gorgeous. And the result will be a fascinating wavy blunt style you can't get tired of.

7. Curly Blunt Bob

Who says blunt cuts have to be on only straight hairs? Here's one styled on curly hair.

Pair them with a blunt bob that sits on your jawline or go a bit further for a gorgeous style. It's set to blow your mind and keep you stylish for days.

If you want a short or long curly blunt style, but your hair is the opposite length, simply style a wig and wear it.

8. Bob with Bangs

We hardly find a bob-length hairstyle we don’t love because they all serve, and this bob with bangs is no exception. It's dramatic, eye-catching, and flattering.

You can rock this style anytime and be sure to tap into your feminine and cute side. So, take it from us—go ahead and style it. There’s no dulling with this one.

9. Straight Lob With Side Part

It is fancy and it keeps us hooked! No matter how much we look at the straight lob with the side part hairstyle, we can't find any downside to this look.

It checks all the boxes and then some more—the length makes it sit just on your shoulders and the side part gives it that chic and edgy vibe. This is perfect for elevating anyone's appearance.

10. Medium-Length With Side Part

Are you searching for a different blunt cut length? Try the medium-length with side-part hairstyle. It is unique and classy, making it perfect to show off your gorgeous features and elevate your appearance for all occasions.

If you have wigs, you can customize them to this chic style. Just get the wigs and your inspiration to your stylist.

11. Bob with Highlights

Add dimension to your blunt cut bob using highlights.

Highlights make everything easy and we're indeed grateful. Thanks to them, your hair can look thicker and shinier without stress. Plus, they give you another fun way to style your black hair. So, embrace this technique and look super fun for your next outing.

12. Half-Up, Half-Down

Cara Delevingne shows another way to style your blunt haircut. Her hair was styled in a half-up, half-down for an elegant feel while those blunt ends stared back at us.

This is a nice way to wear your straight, sleek blunt haircut for some spice. You can even add an accessory to take it up a notch.

13. Long and Straight

Are you afraid to take a bold step in cutting your hair? You don’t have to commit to a full chop before styling a blunt haircut. Just go for straight, clean ends with your long hair, and you’re good to go.

This one is simple yet versatile. You can wear it in an updo, half-up style, or ponytail. It’s not a one-way style, so choose this cut and enjoy the effortless variety of ways to wear your hair, all at your fingertips.

14. Asymmetrical Blunt Bob

This asymmetrical bob is made more chic with its blunt ends. If you want something new and different from short-length blunt hair, you can choose this asymmetrical style.

Tell your hairstylist to make the front longer than the back. And that's it! It's that easy but the style will frame your face and make you look more fancy.

15. High Ponytail

This look is subtle, yet it makes a loud statement. It’s classy, simple, and has the power to change the whole look.

To achieve this, put your hair into a ponytail. Make sure the ponytail sits around the crown of your head. Then, attach the hair extensions and sleek your hair in the final step. There you go—it shouldn't be difficult at all.

16. Tucked Bob

America Ferrera has given us inspiration on how to style the blunt cut and we're loving it. You'll need your bow, brush, and pins to style this.

First, brush your front hair backward, then pin it in place. Next, at the crown of your head, brush your hair over the area you've pinned, and attach your bow. It's easy and shouldn't take time to style.
