Much to everyone’s dismay, the bowl cut is back and not in its original unnerving 90s glory. The modern day bowl cut is reimagined in its classic elements and it is certainly the best fit for someone looking to make a bold style statement. The drastic shift in the length on the side makes the cut edgy. For styling it at its best, try and keep the top fairly short.

9. Low Shave
