Of course, like many trends that look suspiciously like recycled and renamed approaches we are already familiar with, the Hush Cut is no different.
But given it’s an easy option to update long hair and looks nonchalant and cool, we’re all ears.
What is the Hush Cut?
It won’t look markedly different from some of the approaches we’ve been talking about in recent times. That’s because the Hush Cut is a light, feathery and ultra low-maintenance version of the previously trending shag hair cut. It’s even a faint cousin of the questionably named ‘Sachel’ ‘do and the ‘jellyfish cut’.
Originating from Korea, like many of the coolest beauty trends we’ve previously fallen for, the haircut focuses on layers distributed through the longer lengths. It is often paired with a few wispy, face-framing layers around the face.
Though it can be exaggerated by blow-drying the loose layers with a round brush or wrapping around a heated tong or wand, the beauty of the hush cut is that it encourages natural movement and texture through the longer lengths. This means less styling, unless you want to.
The layers are supposed to create a light, airy and slightly tousled feel, you can simple exaggerate with a swish of your fingers. Read: the ultimate cool-girl do. It’s even been describe as ‘angelic’!
It also means far less long-term commitment than the other must-have look right now, (the cropped bob) as the Hush Cut’s soft, subtle layers are far easier and quicker to grow out that any style with blunt lines.
To achieve the look successfully, it’s best done in expert hands. So don’t be tempted to take to your own locks with scissors! It may work better for those with long and slightly thicker hair, where it can thin some of the weight. But if you’re willing to style fine hair with a lightweight, texturising mist that wont weigh strands down you can bump up the volume.
