There is something to be said for a winning haircut, and not only how great it looks, but also how it makes you feel. There are literally dozens of ways to cut hair in varying lengths, however, there are two ways that seem to flatter the majority of hair types. The V-Haircut and the U-Cut are pretty self-explanatory terms based on their names and the shape they create to your hair. The “V” is heavily layered to create a V-shaped point at the ends, while the “U” is largely rounded on the sides to the ends. The great thing about these particular haircuts is that they both flatter long, medium and short hair equally, by creating depth, dimension and movement within your strands.

V-Cut or U-Cut Hairstyle?

Deciding on which cut works best for you and your hair largely depends on the look you are trying to achieve. For instance, if you are looking for a heavily layered style with tons of movement, then the “V” is best, but if you want something decidedly more subtle with more of an equal length, then you should opt for the “U”. If you still need a little help in your decision-making process, take a look at some of the hottest “V” and “U” cuts from around the Web for inspiration. Ready, set, CUT!
