Asymmetric Square: We Love This New Trendy Cut

Do you want to change your hairstyle this coming back to school in 2021? You might fall for the asymmetrical bob or asymmetrical bob, the new trendy short haircut for fall/winter.

Back to school marks the end of summer and the start of fall, but it also spawns cravings for new hairstyles. Why not indulge in a new short haircut? The asymmetrical bob, or asymmetrical square in French, stands out as one of the flagships cuts to adopt.

What is the asymmetrical bob?

As we know, the trend is for fairly natural hair colors but it may be too simple for some, so wake up your daring side with this unusual cut that promises to be a big trend of the winter. The asymmetrical bob is an asymmetric bob, structured and irregular but controlled, which emphasizes a short side and a long side while sporting a straight line at the back of the head that connects the two lengths.

The stars adopt the asymmetrical bob

The asymmetrical bob was first heard of at the start of 2021. The bob (long or short) has always been a benchmark or trendy haircut, no matter the seasons or the years. But the asymmetrical aspect is a novelty. Several stars have already fallen for this square which is unusual without being too atypical: Selena Gomez, Jenna Dewan, Nicole Scherzinger, or Shay Mitchel. The most daring and courageous can also take inspiration from the completely asymmetrical cut of singer Ava Max with tens of centimeters of difference.

How to style and maintain your asymmetrical bob?

If the asymmetrical bob is worn on short or medium-length hair (or even longer on one side), regardless of your color, we advise you to wear it with straight, flat, or wavy hair. While this is a pretty and different cut, it still requires maintenance. You will need to hydrate your freshly cut ends well and visit your hairdresser regularly to maintain the asymmetrical effect of the cut.
