V-Shaped Haircut: 15 Beautiful Ways to Style It

Let your V-cut hair shine with these easy hairstyles.

The V-shaped haircut is a popular look, especially for long hair. Instead of having even tips, your hair is cut into layers on ends forming a “V”, which you can best show off when you let your hair down. It’s a refreshing way to add dimension and movement to long hair without creating an overly layered look.

The key to rocking V-cut hair is to showcase the ends. So whether you put your hair up in a ponytail or leave it down, make sure there’s room for the tips of your hair to shine. Here are easy V-cut hairstyles that you should try now.
