20 Gorgeous Blunt Haircut Ideas That Yes, You Can Totally Pull Off (1)

Excuse us for being *blunt*, but it's time for a new 'do. Lately, celebrities keep popping up on red carpets with blunt haircuts, and we are so ready to head to the salon and try it out ourselves. To investigate this trend further, we reached out to Sanya Keramen, creative director of Nikita Hair, to learn more.

"Simply put, a blunt haircut is a cut without layers — sleek on women who have naturally straight and fine hair, or more textured for hair types with a bit more body," she tells GoodHousekeeping.com. "While sported most often in a lob or bob style, mid-length bobs have also been trending this year."

If you need the perfect transition from summer to fall, look no further. Keramen adds that it's a great option if your hair is dry/damaged from sun exposure or hopping in the pool. Getting a blunt cut can help get rid of damaged ends and improve your overall hair health with a low maintenance style. "Practicality aside, blunt haircuts bring the drama, boldness, and strength," says Keramen.

Needless to say, we're sold. If you need more proof of why you need this dazzling haircut, see our favorite celebrity blunt haircuts below.
