The 90’s are back for Spring and Summer hairstyles but in the best way possible.  The Blunt Cut makes its’ return ala Natalie Portman in the 1994 film “The Professional”.  Today, stars like actress Lily Collins and models Nova Orchid and Katy Moore have reincarnated this tomboyish yet feminine style.

The look is classic, simple with a clean-line graphic bob shape.  Blunt bangs are cut to span  almost the entire forehead area making a big statement.  The rest of the bob is seemingly one length usually ending at the chin, however, this spring and summer hair lengths can even be worn longer.  Texture is another part of this trend to note.  Most of today’s Blunt Cuts are styled smooth with a single layer look, while others are styled with a smooth bang or fringe area with the rest of the length styled in a natural looking wavy texture.

To get this look, seek a professional haircut consultation with your Skill Certified Philip Pelusi Volumetric® trained stylist.  They will make recommendations on cut, length and styling while taking into account your face shape and natural hair texture.  Also, your Philip Pelusi stylist will make hair product recommendations to help you re-create your salon look at home.

First, use a Philip Pelusi Shampoo and Conditioner duo to control or enhance your texture.  Next, to style your Blunt Cut style smooth use a heat-activated, heat-protecting styling crème.  Try P2 by Philip Pelusi Soft Wax.  One of its’ key ingredients, Hyaluronic Acid, helps trap moisture to help protect hair from heat styling while its’ shampoo soluble Emulsifying Wax USP (symbolizing the finest grade) helps to seal hair smooth.  Hair is left feeling smooth and silky with lots of shine.

Always mix your P2 Soft Wax with one other P2 styling product to help move this ultra-rich product through the hair and support additional texture issues.  Mix P2 Soft Wax with P2 Fixative for fine textures and densities, P2 Potion for medium and P2 Polish for thick, bulky textures.  Mix in the palms of your hands, distribute throughout damp hair and blow-dry as you round brush or paddle brush your hair smooth.

If wearing your Blunt Cut with some loose waves, mix P2 Soft Wax with P2 ReCurl Smart Styling Treatment.  The P2 Soft Wax will help keep the look controlled and closer to the head; the Blunt Cut is not to be worn with voluminous hair.  The P2 ReCurl contains a Philip Pelusi Proprietary Micro-emulsion to help coax natural waves and when combined with some scrunching and a cone-diffuser blow-dryer attachment, it can give any head a textured look.

Last, apply a final groom to separate hair and enhance this sharp-edged cut.  Jump over to the Tela Beauty Organics by Philip Pelusi line for some help here.  Tela Encore is a light, demi-gloss styling paste that contains USDA Certified Organic Shea Butter, Olive and Sweet Almond Oil hydrate and help protect.  Finger-style until hair has desired look.
