A blunt cut for long hair is a women’s hairstyle that is cut anywhere from chest to waist-level at one length or with minimal layers. Sticking to one length gives you a bold and stylish vibe, which is absolute for a modern, fashion-forward woman!

Some of the stars who brought the trend to spotlight include none other than Mila Kunis, Zendaya, and Olivia Palermo, who also proved that blunt-cuts have no boundaries. It’s no surprise that veteran hairstylists like Naomi Jamieson gets lots of clients lining up for a fresh and sleek blunt cut for their lengthy locks!

If you’re looking to add thickness and dimension to your fine-haired mane, you’ve hit the jackpot. Blunt cuts are done by expert hairdressers to give the illusion of a full-bodied, thick hair, especially when styled with waves and highlights that can also frame the face.

Keeping your tresses to a single length by getting regular monthly trims might increase your hair upkeep – but for a stunning, boss-babe look like this? I highly believe that it’s worth it!

Out with those old layers and in with this new and impeccable uni-length hairstyle! Here are your trendiest blunt cuts for long hair looks of the season.

#1: Pale Blonde Blunt Cut

If you have blonde hair that’s long and pale, consider sporting a blunt cut. Since longer hair may thin out at the ends, a blunt cut could help it appear as thick as possible. This cut suits many ages and face shapes. However, it needs regular salon visits for maintenance.

#2 Low Layers

Long hair that has low, soft waves is a simple yet timeless look. The cut gives a nice contrast to the texture, giving both waves and cuts an uplifting effect.

Opt for a full heavy baby-light (micro highlights) to achieve the best blend and grow out. Be meticulous about blending because it produces a very natural highlighted look without the harsh lines that some highlights leave.

Long hair such as these are a bit weightier than short hair, and may, therefore, lose volume. Mid-point layers on this hair provide the much-needed volume and body for it to be alive again.

Your stylist’s approach to cutting should be to maintain a strong perimeter while removing as much weight as possible. Visualize various texturizing techniques, such as point cutting and slicing, to create a seamless blend of interior layers.

#9 Layered Curls

Before cutting these curls, visualize a layered and voluminous shape. Using a curl by curl, dry-cutting technique, ask your stylist to enhance your curl pattern by cutting on the “C” of each curl and shorten up more pieces towards the top of the crown and around your face to create a more rounded look.

#23: Blonde Straight Hair with a Middle Part

Blonde straight hair paired with a middle part is hot for the season. This blonde is a global application and glaze, instead of highlights. It’s one of the best ways to achieve the most blonde. When considering all-over blonde, make sure you can be at the salon every 4-6 weeks for touch-ups. Anything longer can result in banding and additional cost. Don’t forget to get regular trims at least every other appointment to keep your ends healthy.
