You’re going to see the airspace haircut pretty much everywhere this winter thanks to the abundance of runway displays and red carpet events. If you follow fashion trends, you may have noticed this hairstyle on some of your favorite celebrities before without realizing it. However, it’s now making its way to your neighborhood salon.
Interestingly enough, according to Hairstory Lead Brand Educator & Stylist Wes Sharpton, the airspace cut isn’t a haircut at all but rather a method to “remove weight, creating space that air can flow through.” This cut style has a more relaxed, dimensional, and slightly undone appearance. Fortunately, this method works well on hair of any length and looks fantastic.
We questioned hairdressers about all the details you should know about the airspace cut, such as styling tips and the types of hair types that suit it best.
What Is the Haircut in Airspace?
The airspace haircut is a flowy and airy hairstyle that is achieved by arranging the hair into gentle layers that effortlessly merge together to give the appearance and impression of weightlessness. International Educator at Balmain Hair Glennda Rommelaere adds that bobs and lob cuts are excellent foundations because it’s simple to remove weight from the hair to achieve the desired flowy and flexible look.
Who Has the Greatest Haircut in Airspace?
With the correct styling tools, anyone can pull off the gorgeous airspace haircut. Rommelaere says that the important thing is “about whether a lived-in look is going to feel right for your personal vibe,” rather than the shape of the face or type of hair.
Still, those with shorter hair usually look best with this weightless look. overly long or even overly curly hair can give the aerospace haircut its desirable airy, lightweight appearance by creating a shape that makes it more difficult to attain. For people with finer hair, Rommelaere suggests longer bands or layers that frame the face. If you want your hair to look a certain way, people with thick or curly textures might think about losing some weight.
How to Consult Your Stylist
“You should ask your stylist to take away the heaviness or weight on the lengths and ends when you want to go for an airspace haircut,” advises Sharpton. “This haircut is perfect, and it spices things up a bit, especially with a curtain bang.”
Bring a ton of inspirational photos to your salon as well; because this look is so adaptable and ambiguous, it’s important to convey your preferences to your stylist, particularly for images of individuals with hair textures that are similar to your own.
How to Wear the Airspace Haircut Styled
It’s not difficult to style an Airspace hairstyle. You want your hair to look more natural when styling it at home, therefore damp hair will look nicer when dried if you use a volumizing mousse (IGK Big Time Volume Mousse is our favorite).
For additional movement and the desired impression of separation with this particular cut, straighter hair or hair with light curls can be styled and shaped with a texturizing spray such as Hairstory Undressed or R+Co Lifestyler Volume + Texture Spray.
Use Balmain Hair Moisturizing Styling Cream to blow dry your hair for a more red-carpet-worthy look, or use a curling wand to add more volume and smoothness to your hair. When using a blow dryer or hot tool, try spritzing your hair with a few spritzes of Balmain Hair Thermal Protection Spray to help maintain it bright and healthy.
