Two things have been my goals all my life: To make my parents proud and have thicker hair. With a degree, my dream job, and other achievements, I have officially achieved the first. But the second is more difficult. The U-shape haircut, which hairdressers claim is one of the best ways to make your hair thicker, will change everything. Praise be.
What is this subtle style, which is perfect for people who don’t like layers and is currently trending online? Let’s dive in together. Rachel Selt, a hairdresser, says that the U-shape haircut is very popular with clients who have hair that is thinner. She adds that the sides of your hair are thinner than the back, so the U-shape will instantly remove that ‘stringy look’ and give you a sleek, natural cut.
Here are some examples of the U-shape haircut in real life. After being asked repeatedly by her followers how she did it, TikTok creator @nothangtw posted a video of her U shape cut. The clip has been viewed more than 3.5 million times. Thousands of people have left comments praising the style.
One fan said, «I got this hairstyle last Wednesday and my confidence shot up like rockets so thank you so very much for making it,» while another added: «I will be asking the hairdresser for this next Monday.»
@virginia_ongkili uploaded another video showing the trending cut. It was captioned: «The official title for this haircut is Oval U–Shaped Layer. The perfect pairing with Curtain Bangs haircut.
Selt says that the hair is first «split down to the middle of your head, from the front to nape of your neck», before being «pulled forward on either side» to remove «fine ends.» It works well with long bangs and hair with distinct layers.
This style can be used on any length of hair, and, as you’ll hear from my curly-haired friends, on all types of hair. Marina Ann, TikTok’s creator of the cut, has a video that will show you how it looks. The combination of the U-shape haircut at her back and the round layers creates volume and a simple-to-style shape.
The style is also easy to maintain. You only need to trim your hair every six to eight weeks to remove any split ends or maintain healthy hair growth.
U-sold on the U shaped haircut? Yes, I am.
