A blunt haircut, often characterized by a straight, even cut across the ends of the hair, is typically achieved using a 0-degree angle. This cutting technique allows the stylist to create a clean, sharp edge without any layers, resulting in a uniform length throughout the hair.
When using a 0-degree angle, the hair is cut straight across, offering a dense and thick appearance. This method provides structure and gives the hair a solid shape that can be both classic and modern, depending on how it's styled.
In contrast, cutting at other angles typically results in layers or different shapes. For instance, a 45-degree angle introduces layers that create volume and movement, while a 90-degree angle raises the hair away from the head, leading to a more rounded and voluminous style. A 180-degree angle would create extreme layers, which is not in line with the blunt haircut's goal of uniformity and absence of layers.
