Neck-length hair is super easy to style, and with texturizing spray or wax, you can achieve a tousled wet look that exudes casual sophistication, like this edgy style made by YUKI. Paired with the right hair color, this look can unrecognizably change your appearance!
@yukistylist
Blunt neck-length haircuts are highly recommended for straight hair because they highlight its natural smoothness and sleekness. However, if you are afraid it may not suit your fine locks, feel free to complement the look with bangs, as Stanley Liao did.
