Flat hair getting you down? Try the 'air cut'

We’ve started to notice that all the hair trends of the last 12 months have started to merge together.

The wolf cut, the mullet shag, chin bangs, feathered hair, and the butterfly haircut have all become sisters in a family of layered, mid-length hair trends.

The latest addition to the brood? The ‘air cut’. 

Popularised in Korea and categorised by its multi-layered, ‘airy’ style, the ‘air cut’ frames the face with a series of light, piecey layers that are fluffy, flowy and full of movement. 

Intended for fine hair, it can also work on thicker hair that needs the weight taken out of it. Plus, it’s forgiving on a multitude of textures (much like the wolf cut and shag mullet), however the soft style offers a more refined take than its edgier predecessors.

Typically, the ‘air cut’ features a set of floaty ‘air bangs’ to complete the breezy blowout look, but if a fringe isn’t your thing, forgo the chop for short face-framing layers. 

As far as styling goes, you’ll need to get your hands on a lightweight texturising spray that can be applied at the root of the hair. Then, pair your texturiser with a curling tool that adds body and bounce with minimal effort. 

We suggest investing in a set of heated rollers, a hot brush or one of these Dyson Airwrap dupes.
