In the springtime, everything shifts a little bit – the days become longer, the sun shines earlier, our mood turns for the better, and our beauty look undergoes a bit of a refresher. In the makeup department, we reach for sheer finishes and minimal regimens; in the hair department, our go-to styles can best be described as “fun” and “breezy,” which sums up “the shift” haircut trend nicely.
Never has a spring haircut trend been more aptly named than “the shift.” This short hairstyle is categorised by choppy layers of varying lengths on the top of the head. It’s kind of like the “disconnected” haircut trend, but with less structure. “The ‘shift’ [has] versatile styling options – from something edgy and raw to extremely polished and sophisticated,” Adam Federico, R+Co’s director of content, told POPSUGAR. “The haircut can be finished to suit the individual’s personality and meet them for who they are within that day.”
Think: Demi Lovato’s edgy cut or Cardi B’s Grammy’s hairstyle. The beauty of it is that it can work on all hair types and textures and is completely customizable.
