The V-shape hair cut is a classic style of haircut that can be quite minimalist or quite daring, depending on how far you go with it.
But in any case, your hair will be cut into a V-shape at the back, either hanging loose down your back or in the case of a short bob, tapering down to just above the neckline.
There’s a caveat because sadly, this type of hair cut is really the best for those who have straight hair or those who style their hair in loose waves.
There are blunt V-shape hair cuts and there are V-shape cuts made of layers.
One popular v-shape cut on long hair, Asian long hair in particular, is to make just a slight wave at the bottom of the hair.
That bottom wave should be irregular and playful, so that the V-taper at the tips of your hair will not even be noticeable.

The short V-shape cut look is not often seen anymore. It was popularized in the jazz era and paired with art deco jewelry. It is so aesthetic that you can still wear it today without looking dated - you will just look aesthetic.
If you have straight hair, the V-shape cut can be a great way to freshen up your look and give yourself a modern twist on an old-fashioned style. Just make sure to find a hairdresser who knows how to do this kind of cut properly, as it’s not a 101 thing.
Making your V-shape hairstyle aesthetic
The V-shape hair cut is a great way to add a modern twist to any look. It can range from minimalist to edgy and daring, depending on how far you take it.
For the minimalist look, keeping the cut simple is key. The classic v-shape cut looks great with thicker hair, and can be done in the form of either a blunt v-shape cut or v-shape cut with layers.

For a more daring look, try adding hair dye, balayage to the tips, or even some curtain bangs layers to accentuate your v shape hairstyle. Adding these elements will give you an edge that is sure to turn heads.
