The wedge haircut became fashionable during the 1970s and remains an appealing style today. Finely chopped multi-layers at the back and sides combine with long front-side bangs for an attractive, modern style. This long wedge makes an excellent way to frame the face and hide necklines or wrinkles while looking stunning with platinum hair! Plus, it makes the perfect statement piece!
Asymmetrical
One of the most incredible things about asymmetrical wedge haircuts is their versatility; they suit nearly any face shape. The angular style works exceptionally well on oval and round faces, providing balance against larger or protruding noses while adding structure to square or rectangular faces. To add even more drama, add long side-swept bangs like Charlotte Lawerence below, or use lightweight texturizing spray for flyaways so your wavy wedge cut remains smooth all day long! Curly asymmetrical wedge haircuts can be an excellent solution for women with fine or thin locks, highlighting the natural movement of this hairstyle with sandy blonde highlights that add dimension and volume. Perfect for low-maintenance styles that don’t require additional styling products. They’re a great way to highlight naturally swoopy locks for women transitioning toward graying!
Long Layers
Long layers that sweep to one side offer many styling possibilities. From sleek and modern, such as this chic style with long asymmetrical wedge cuts that taper toward the crown, to adding volume and fullness in fine strands, long layers can do it all! Pair it with TRESemme TRES Two Mega Firm Control Gel to keep flyaways at bay for optimal results. Another contemporary take on a wedge haircut features a white stripe inspired by skunk fur along your head, creating an eye-catching rocker chick look. Perfect for rocker chicks who wish to express their wild side. Straight-haired individuals can also benefit from the wedge-inspired look with long front layers with blunt edges. It will add bounce to thin strands while giving them a more playful ringlet appearance – it pairs nicely with bold colors such as black, blue, or pink tones and rich chestnut shades!
Converging Layers
Convergent layers offer a modern take on the classic bowl cut by giving hair a soft texture with subtle layers, lengthening your face. Perfect for those who want a chic look without constantly having their hair up! To achieve the look, ask your stylist for a pixie cut with shorter pieces all around, but ask them to comb through and cut an angle into your bottom section before trimming with scissors. Even beginners can try this style at home, but we recommend practicing first on a mannequin to get familiar with its shape and technique. This type of wedge haircut is ideal for showing off vibrant hair colors, such as this rich brown hue which brings out the angular lines of your wedge. Or add subtle golden blonde highlights for more of an impactful statement.
Choppy
The choppy wedge haircut is an eye-catching style that will elevate any shortcut. This trend features asymmetrical layers stacked using the tapered technique and long peek-a-boo bangs that give this pixie cut an eye-catching, cool-girl appeal. Give this chic hair idea a try to increase the volume in your locks and gain plenty of compliments from onlookers!
Wedge haircuts are highly customizable, meaning you can tailor them to fit your taste and face shape. For instance, adding a feminine fringe frames the face for more feminine styling before finishing with dramatic side bangs for dramatic effect. Add eye-catching strawberry blonde highlights for added drama; don’t be afraid to experiment with different wedge cuts; the only limit lies within your imagination!
