Hush Cut is a haircut that will become an obsession for fall 2023.
It is now one of the most requested haircuts in the world and according to Google it is one of the top fall 2023 trends in the UK and US. Let’s talk about the Hush Cut, a Korean origin hairstyle that has a light and soft look that can adapt to a wide variety of face types. Plus, it’s very easy to maintain. Here’s what you need to know before contacting your hairdresser.
What is Hush Cut
“It’s a soft and layered cut that almost always includes some sort of fringe, or at least shorter layers to frame the face,” explains Sean Paul Noser and Nick Latham, founders of London-based The Hair Bros. “The fact is that it is the layered cut that creates a harmonious distribution of weight and a “live” effect.” When hair is cut so it can move, it follows the shape of the hairstyle naturally, minimizing styling. This makes the Hush Cut perfect if you want a discreet yet impressive haircut that frames your face.

“This is the perfect solution for those who want to try layered bangs without going for something drastic like full bangs or wolf cuts,” the stylists continue. “Many people are tempted by bangs or layered length, but they are still traumatized by memories of some pretty terrible haircuts they wore as children, at the turn of the millennium. Hush Cut, on the other hand, plays on softness and naturalness.
True to its name (“hush” means “silence”, “quiet”, “calm” in English), this haircut is less “noisy” than its more radical counterparts: imagine a thin but well-defined mustache, floating layers and airy and elegant movements.
How to adjust the cut
Hush Cut is about details, so it won’t work unless it’s done perfectly. “There should be no straight cuts along the length,” say Noter and Latham, who often use razors instead of scissors in the salon. “Once the hair starts to feel heavy, it loses the softness and airiness of this cut.”
