What is the Square Cub Cut?

Indeed, this modern trend draws its inspiration from the past. The cub cut represents a contemporary mix of the shag cut and the mullet cut with a reference to the square.

One of its distinctive features is the layers that frame the face. Moreover, the locks are cut with a razor, thus giving a sharp and playful aspect to the hairstyle. The voluminous and textured rendering is thus 100% guaranteed!

Although it can normally be achieved in different ways, this cut is most often between the shoulders and the chin. A perfect compromise for ladies considering a softer hair makeover. So don’t hesitate to add it to your list of short haircuts for the summer!

According to facial morphology

The main characteristics of the cub cut to make it an ideal solution for coquettes that have an oval face. Plus, it’s a decent option for flattering an inverted triangle-shaped face.

According to your personal style

So, as a haircut in the disheveled category, the cub cut is generally appreciated by women who love the casual chic style. It’s a great alternative for rebellious fashionistas who like low maintenance and don’t want to show off a polished look all the time. Obviously, because of its nonchalant appearance, it would not be wise to succumb to it if you are a businesswoman and rather put on the professional look most of the time.

Why do we love it?

As we have just explained, the cub cut is very close to the mule and the shaggy. Nevertheless, it represents a softer revision of the two classics. The square being one of its main elements, gives a more feminine note and a fuller shape to the hairstyle. At the same time, we keep the sharp aspect that allows us to stand out from the crowd by displaying a unique and impressive style.

However, the advantage of the cut of the day is not limited to its aesthetic value. In reality, we are talking here about a very practical hair solution in terms of styling and maintenance. In principle, the charm of the cub cut is hidden in particular in this messy effect, so you don’t have much to do to take care of your look.

A perfect cut to celebrate summer with confidence and freedom
