Looking for a change? Try the “Frame” Haircut

They say a good haircut should really frame your face, so it only makes sense that this upcoming season a big haircut trend does just that. Celebrity hairstylist and Evo Hair brand ambassador Tom Smith predicted fall’s biggest hair trends in a TikTok video, naming the “frame” cut as one to watch this year.

Here, we break down exactly what the haircut entails, how to style it regardless of your length or texture, and some of our favorite takes on the trend.

What is a Frame Haircut?

The frame haircut is characterized by its boxy shape that perfectly outlines the face. “This works at a variety of lengths and is all about framing the face,” Smith says in the video. “That’s the kind of square frame we’re seeing.”

The beauty of this hairstyle is that it works on all hair lengths, from the extra long locks that stretch all the way to your midback to the ultra short micro bob. “The key is to pay attention to how the hair ‘frames’ the face,” Smith said. “Ask your stylist to create a fringe or bangs that match your face, keeping the corners sharper when it connects with the lengths that sit on the sides of your face.” This means that the bangs should be cut a bit more bluntly than the popular “bottleneck” bangs or curtain bangs that we’ve seen over the past few months.

“Consider whether or not you want to show your eyebrows when deciding the length, and how much of your cheekbones you want to expose when deciding the width of the fringe area,” he says. Micro, pin-up, blunt or “birkin” bangs all work well with this look.

How to style the frame haircut

After you get your desired cut at the salon, Smith has a few tips for styling the look at home. “Be sure to comb your fringes into place immediately after washing to help the roots settle into the right position,” he says. “Then spread through some air-dried cream or leave-in conditioner.” Smith recommends Evo Happy Campers ($32), and we also like Caviar Anti-Aging Replenishing Moisture CC Cream ($44) and JVN Complete Air-Dry Cream ($26).

“The frame cut works best when left to air dry, but you can speed up the process by using the diffuser attachment on your hair dryer—no need to scoop or scrub your hair, just let the gentler airflow dry your hair in. its natural position—then loosen it up with the fingers completely dry only once,” he says.
