And are there any prerequisites for joining the cut? For Aprigio, it only takes “courage, attitude and detachment with long hair”. However, Quites considers that curly hair deserves more attention. “It is a type of cut that can be adapted for various types of hair –– straight, wavy, curly –– but it looks better from straight to wavy, because the curly ends up losing a little bit of movement, since the base is straight. However, it is not impossible to do.
You just need to have more technique ”, he explains. And those who want a hair with more personality can mix styles and invest in blunt bangs: “It brings more identity, modernity and looks great for those with curly hair. It is a great option for those who want powerful volume up front ”, affirms Quites.
Leave-in, ointments or sprays, in addition to the aforementioned stylers, help to straighten the wires quickly. “For daily finishing, I recommend a thermal protector, brush and dryer and for those who want to enhance texture, a wave curler”, says Aprigio. And the wires don't just have to be loose, okay? “You can wear it stuck to your ear –– it looks chic and charming –– or you can attach a part to two coconuts and leave the rest loose, for a really cool street style”, teaches Quites.

Long bob. Cut that leaves the hair more or less at shoulder length, but with the front part generally a little longer than the strands at the back.
Blunt bob. Created from the long bob. Leaves hair straighter, at the height of the jaw, but with a slight lightness at the ends. It is the most sought after at the moment.
Blunt cut. Cut that brings extremely straight hair, that is, with equal length in all parts.
Chanel. Classic from the early 20th century. It is a little longer than the blunt bob, but does not reach the shoulders. The hair is straighter and, at the same time, asymmetrical.
