On Hair Texture and Hush Haircut
Hernandez says, “The hush haircut is a modern-day shag with a soft, feathery, and wispy touch.” She points to its softness, brought out by its feather-like ends and layers that frame the face. Match this cut with fringe-like bangs and you have a hush haircut.
This look works well with almost all kinds of hair, notes Hernandez. Dense hair will gain a lightweight finish from shorter layers and bulk removal from mid-shaft to ends. Thin hair will gain volume from the airy-like layers around the face that make up the cut. Thin ends lend a lightweight, wispy effect.
Hush Haircut and Face Shapes
When it comes to face shape, Hernandez advises, “square faces should opt for longer curtain bangs to help hide the sharper points of the jawline.” She points to fringe bangs as giving a shorter look to long face shapes. She adds that “shorter curtain bangs can help hide the width of a forehead on heart-shaped faces.”
Styling Tips and Product Recommendations
The hush haircut style is soft and casual, says Hernandez. She suggests curly hair can be worn natural or styled with a curl cream like IGK Class of 93′ Curl Cream. Straight hair can be worn natural or styled with a blowout cream like Frizz Dismiss Rebel Tame Cream by Redken and root lifter like EVO Root Canal. This gives hair bounce and wisp, precisely the hush haircut look.
