Thought contouring was just for your make-up routine? This simple haircut achieves the same result

Contour cut.

With every new season comes a fresh batch of hair trends, and 2023’s autumn hair trends are no exception. We’ve been loving floating layers, neptune waves and the pouf hairstyle. Lately, it’s the contour cut that’s caught our eye. A technique rather than a specific trend, this is all about creating smart layers that work in the same way as make-up contouring, to highlight particular aspects of your face shape and features. 

The best part? This cut is for everyone and anyone and can be adapted to suit face shape, hair texture and your styling routine. Here’s everything we think you should know about the contour cut, plus plenty of inspiration to take to your next salon appointment for inspiration.
