The good old days of sporting uninspired hair are finally behind us! Say goodbye to sleek hair and uniform cuts; asymmetrical haircuts are the ultimate cool-girl style that will elevate your appearance! Curious about what this haircut entails? An asymmetrical haircut features hair cut in varying lengths and angles. Typically, contemporary haircuts that are styled asymmetrically have one side that’s longer than the other.
Bobs, pixies, and shoulder-length cuts are ideal lengths to showcase the asymmetry of an uneven haircut. However, it also works beautifully for longer hairstyles, too! Hairstylist Jacqueline Gibert from Tennessee performs incredible transformations on her clients using asymmetrical techniques.
“An asymmetrical haircut requires ongoing maintenance. Consider your lifestyle, time, and dedication to upkeep,” Jacqueline explains. Her key questions before achieving the look? “Can you visit the salon for regular trims to keep its shape? Do you have time to style at home?”
She adores Aveda products, such as the Phomollient Styling Foam for added volume. Confixor Liquid Gel is excellent for enhancing texture and shine.
“There are various types of asymmetrical cuts that suit different hair types and densities,” she tells us. “What’s equally important is your face shape. Angled lengths can create an elongating effect. This is why round and square faces greatly benefit from an asymmetrical style.”

#7: Deep Copper Asymmetrical Pixie Hairstyle
A deep copper asymmetrical pixie hairstyle is an incredible way to highlight green eyes and defined facial features. If you have very fine or very coarse hair this cut will require more time to style than average thickness. The deep copper tone adds depth and works exceptionally well against skin with warmer or pinkish undertones.
Asymmetrical hair is a wonderful way to draw attention to specific focal points while gently softening features that may be more pronounced than desired. A pixie hairstyle can be more work to shape depending on the cut, hair type, density, and styling preferences, however, having an asymmetrical pixie lends itself to the option of having a longer growth time as well as more effortless styling.

#10: Asymmetrical A-Line Lob
An asymmetrical a-line lob gets its name from being shorter in the back and gradually getting longer in front.

Also, it can be curled with 3/4 inch or 1-inch iron if you desire some waves.
#11: Chic Light Pink Asymmetric Bob

A shorter style like an asymmetric bob can serve as a flattering cut. It can remove the history of previous colors, aiding in achieving those lighter shades of pink.

Efird says this uneven hair provides a super fun look, but it definitely requires some upkeep! “I blew this out with a round brush using a leave-in conditioner and a smoothing product from Davines, but this is definitely a haircut that can be styled messy and curly using a curl mousse or a sea salt spray.”
#21: Trendy Asymmetrical Bob with Bangs

#26: Chic Wavy Asymmetrical Cut
The ideal chic wavy asymmetrical cut and style to showcase movement! Brighten up your jaw-length hairstyle with a hint of blonde hue on your dark roots to enhance your elegance.
An asymmetrical haircut is a bolder yet trendier bob hairstyle.
Keep in mind when considering an asymmetrical hair cut is that it is disconnected. It will grow unevenly and you may need to visit the salon more frequently to maintain than your usual lob (long bob).
Depending on the texture and density of hair, it’s crucial that you style it with the appropriate products and blow dry straight and not with a round brush. If you’re contemplating adding body, use a quality volumizing mousse, blow dry straight and, once dry, apply a Kenra Texture Spray to keep it straight. You can also use a 1-inch curling iron, take large sections on the top layer, and wear.
One of the most stylish ways to wear this look is to tuck or bobby pin the shortest side behind the ear. It’s an excellent way to elevate it for an event, a night out, or to look adorable while working out at the gym – so versatile!
