Was there any doubt that fashion wunderkind and trendsetter, Kaia Gerber, would be amongst the first to leap upon this bandwagon? Nah.
Lucy Hale sheds her teen drama roots — literally — by shearing her long waves into a sleek, polished bob.
This edgy cut is made pretty and polished with a wave of a curling wand. Just ask Margot Robbie.
Trust Thandie Newton — aka star of hit dystopian sci-fi western, Westworld — to ace this modern cut.
Soft, choppy waves serve as the perfect complement to Zoey Deutch’s old-school Hollywood glam makeup.
Nothing adds serious volume and texture to locks than curling an asymmetrical ‘do. Julia Garner is living proof.
Now, this is what we’d call a bang on ‘do.
The snip in itself is striking, but when paired with a vivid hue? Truly statement-making. Take a cue from Charlotte Lawrence and opt for a bold aquamarine shade.
This high-drama hairdo is elevated with the addition of full, fluttery bangs as evidenced by Joan Smalls.
Remember the day when Charlize Theron hit the red carpet in a dark, asymmetrical bob and promptly sent the Internet into a collective meltdown? Ugh, her power.
We’re not sure what’s sharper; Bebe Rexha’s jawline, or those short, hair, and razor-cut ends.
Who says blondes have all the fun? Ashley Benson is partying it up with darker roots and a dignified new style.
If Queen J.Lo is up for it, so are we. ‘Nuff said.

New celeb hair trend of 2020: Asymmetrical cuts as spotted on Kaia Gerber, Zoey Deutch, Joan Smalls, etc

The long and short of it

Text: Emily Heng


Desperate times call for desperate measures. It's a saying more apt than ever considering our current reality which comprises supermarket sweeps, lockdowns, and stringent social distancing measures. Things are no different, beautification-wise — we're letting our roots grow out, doing our own gel manis, and upping the ante on self-care in a bid to self-isolate. Knowing this, is it any surprise, then, that the latest hair trend is one easily achievable from the confines of your home?

We're talking about the asymmetrical haircut aka the two-length 'do that while extreme in theory, proves highly wearable IRL. All you need: a pair of scissors and a whole lotta nerve. And if you're lacking in the latter, fret not. This style provides the perfect cover-up for any shameful scissor skills (you didn't butcher your tresses, it's an intentional style choice). Sceptics, cast your gaze to the gallery above to get inspired.
