The Viral C-Shape Haircut Is a Softer Take on Rachel Green’s Iconic Layers
This low-maintenance upgrade is flattering on nearly everyone…
The C-Shape Hairstyle Is Making a Comeback! Instagram
Who doesn’t remember Rachel Green’s iconic haircut from Friends? It was a layered, soft and bouncy blowout that was the hair moment of the ‘90s. The C-Shape haircut has a new update in a softer and subtler form that has gotten everyone screnshotting. This curved, face-framing cut is flooding our Reels, Pinterest boards, and salon references this season.
What makes it click? It’s equal parts nostalgic and low-maintenance. It’s a Godsend answer to the chunky, high-volume layers of the 2000s blowout. With soft inward-falling lengths and no visible steps or harsh angles.
What is the C-shape haircut?
Unlike sharper U- and V-shaped cuts that taper at the back, the C-shape is all about the front. Layers typically start around the jawline or collarbone and curve gently inwards which forms a clean, sculpted “C” around the face. This way it adds shape and structure while keeping your ends full and natural.
C vs U vs V - What’s the Difference?
Unlike the sharper U- and V-shaped cuts, which are defined by the way hair tapers at the back, the C-shape cut is focused entirely on the front and frames your face adding softness and symmetry.
Which face shapes does it suit?
The beauty of the C-shape cut is its versatility. It works especially well on medium to long hair and adapts easily to both fine and thick textures. On finer hair, it adds movement without losing fullness. On thicker hair, it removes weight around the face while keeping the length intact.
Because the layers hug the jawline or cheekbones, it flatters most face shapes by adding lift and shape where it’s needed most.
How To Style It?
A round brush and a quick blowout will enhance the curve and bounce, but the cut looks great even when air-dried. If your hair has natural texture, all it needs is a touch of cream or serum at the front to define the shape.
