If blonde is totally not your thing but you want to try the dark-versus-light concept for your short haircut, go for silver. It pairs really well with dark brown hair. Ask your stylist for wispy bangs in the front—that way you can have fun styling them just right.
Today’s bowl cut for women is a far cry from what we remember in the 80’s and 90’s. As an edgier hair style it has most recently been worn by some of the fashion’s biggest risk-takers like Miley Cyrus and Rihanna. This look is best pulled off with statement makeup, vibrant hair color or extreme earrings.
While there are obvious benefits (can you say ‘low-maintenance’?), it’s also totally liberating to reveal your face to the world. With one simple hairstyle, you can make the statement that has nothing to hide and everything to gain.
So here’s some inspiration for your next short do.
For a lighter look that’s still feminine, try a wispy fringe. Keeping your bangs longer, it still lets your bold arches peek through. Try an ash blonde hue for your hair and a bold color to accentuate your eyebrows. Or color your strands in some subtle pink and purple shades to enhance the charm.
A shorter bowl cut can be balanced out with a long piece-y fringe in front. Give it some attitude and texture for a complete edgy vibe. Add in a slight pop of color or an accent tone, and you’ve got a cool and crisp style.
A modern cut deserves a futuristic feel. Make a statement with a silver-grey all over color. Some long wisps up top and a purely blunt cut create an effortless and chic appearance.
Not only is this bowl haircut for women elegant and sophisticated, it is also fearless. The severe and deep part combined with the striking color fade effect keeps this style polished and chic.

If you want a beautiful bowl cut that makes you feel like a popstar, then you need to remember two things: highlighting and texture. Be sure to ask your stylist for highlights that really stand out. They should be two or three tones lighter than your base. Add separation with products designed for short, straight hair.
Platinum is absolutely one of the best colors for this hair style. You get grunginess and classic glam rolled up in one look. What more could a modern girl want? To really make the shade pop, go for dark hair underneath. Natural blondes can ask for a cool toned brown dye on the shaved part.
Your new bowl haircut should be as boundary-pushing as you are. The bowl has considerably evolved in the last few years, so don’t think you need to stick to a set concept. The version you see in this picture showcases longer hair at the temples and closely cropped nape, everything in a gorgeous pastel purple shade, wow!
The pink and orange tones in this hairstyle are gorgeous—especially when paired with a bold lip and warm toned skin. Black women look particularly stunning with bowl shaped cuts. To recreate this, be sure to keep the front bangs layered and uneven instead of blunt.
For a bowl hairstyle that is retro and mod, go for straight, naturally colored hair. This style would be right at home in the most fashionable streets of Paris. Blunt bungs and angled sides complete the futuristic look. To keep your hair soft and sleek, you’ll have to apply conditioning treatments regularly.
When you choose a stylist for your new bowlcut, be sure to find someone whose sense of adventure matches your own. If you’re looking for something unique and experimental, find a professional who has experience with creative cuts. This version features a dark cropped undelayer and long blond layers sprinkled on top and flowing along the sides.
For women who want to try a new modern look but still maintain some femininity in their style, a choppy bowl hairstyle is the perfect choice. Long bangs that fall towards your brow are very flattering while shaved sides bring an urban vibe.
Heavy bangs—simply meaning long bangs with lots of layers pulled from the crown forward —can be a very nice compliment to beautiful eyes and full lips. You get the best of both worlds: short hair that is easy to style and an emphasis on your best features.
This bowl haircut is a very unique take on the style, due to the skilful blend of blunt cut and razored layers. The hair has been dyed strategically to further accentuate the difference of textures. So, well, isn’t it a good idea to innovate your own short cut?

Depending on your style and personality, you might like bowl cut hair that is sleek and accurate. This version pairs really well with futuristic fashion. The sleek perfection of the cut creates a more thought-out and less subversive style.
If you want to try certain elements of the bowl but are not ready to jump into the style, then try bowl cut-inspired bangs and pair them with your common bob. You can keep longer hair along the sides for a look that is half bowl and half bob.
With silver and white hair colors becoming very popular and widespread, this ice blue hue is a breath of fresh air. The color is really gorgeous paired with dark brows and lips. To pull it off without looking too perfect and princessy, allow your hair’s natural wave and texture to shine through.
Bowl cuts can also skew elegant and sophisticated. For a chic style that will look super cool paired with punk rock clothes and jewelry, ask your stylist for a deep side part, an undershave that runs above your ears, long bangs and subtle highlights. Cutting the hair close above the ears gives the cut a beautiful shape and boosts thickness of your hair.
Not for the faint of heart, this style takes the asymmetry trend to a whole new level. The side burn is shaved on one side, while the other side is kept long and wispy. The high-up blunt fringe adds to the futuristic appeal of the look.
This beautiful cut has a very glamorous vibe, due to the cool toned platinum locks and bold undershave. Notice how the line of demarcation is high up on the head? That gives it an edgier, more unisex look. If you want something more feminine, try having the line a little lower.
Clearly, the bowl cut has taken on a life of its own. There are no set rules or requirements. The clean shaved temples and short fringe give this version a modern flare. With long textured pieces in the back, this cut offers a lot of cute styling options. And that color is to die for!
The bleached out color and blunt-end cut combine to create an androgynous feel. With an extra-firm hold hair product, you can maintain your precise hairstyle throughout the day.
Bowl cut hair isn’t easy for just anyone to pull off. It’s as much about confidence and attitude as the cut itself. A perfectly maintained chic and sleek ‘do that makes no excuses.
Add some sass to your shorter cut with tousled, textured pieces in the back. For a bed head feel that embodies free-spiritedness and confidence, be sure to select the right texturizing hair product.
A longer version of this hairstyle can help ease you into the full-on short cut. Slightly covering the ears and keeping bangs long gives you ample room to play with style and color.
Who says a haircut needs to be even all-around? Introducing some unexpected longer pieces adds intrigue to the bowl haircut. Toss in plenty of subtle highlights and a blunt, short fringe. Draw attention to your beautiful female facial features and artistic makeup.
Shorter ‘dos have another added benefit – less maintenance when it comes to hair color. Fewer and shorter strands mean more ability to play with color and keep it looking sharp. Try iridescent colors in deep green jewel tones for fun and sophistication.
Just because a hairstyle is short doesn’t mean it needs to be all one length. Get a layered bowl to add texture and volume. Plus, layers help to keep your ‘do looking sharp without much added effort, for the ultimate low-maintenance hair style.
For a carefree short-haired look with lots of body, try a classic bowl cut that grazes the cheekbones. By keeping some length, you can afford to thin your cut out a bit more.
For the right balance between sweet and sassy, try a blunt cut with a bold magenta or pastel pink color. Adding shine-enhancing products helps to keep it looking fresh and pristine.
