BOULE CUT TREND 2021 2022 WINTER
The boule or bowl cut is a modern evolution of the medieval bowl cut, relaunched in the 1920s and then revisited in the 5-pointed geometric cut version in 1963 by the famous London hair stylist Vidal Sassoon. It is typically a cut for short and medium-short hair, but it is on the short yoke that the boule will be more defined. The meaning of the term, “ball or sphere” in French, refers precisely to its rounded external shape that follows the lines of the head with refinement, with a drawn and emptied nape and a fuller upper part, with often important fringe. It can be worn more or less rounded and rounded as Saint Algue proposes, more similar to the pageboy, or very short and paraded. It is ideal for girls and women of all ages and can be customized in different ways, to be worn strictly smooth, the most popular, but also wavy and curly. We can show it off more net and geometric, or irregular, with asymmetrical fringe as suggested by Genny D’Auria, messy and fashion show as Franck Provost proposes.
WHO IS GOOD WITH THE BOULE HAIR CUT
The boule is not suitable for everyone, in fact it must be chosen in different shapes depending on the face. In particular, it gives square and angular faces with high cheekbones, a rectangular face and obviously an oval face with elven features, like any pixie cut. The fuller and more rounded variants such as that of La Biosthétique and Genny D’Auria are not suitable for those with a round face but will look good on a long face because they will break its verticality. For the full face, a more emptied version of volume is better, such as the proposal by Cotril, with a long tuft or fringe to optically reduce the volumes of the oval. The tuft or long bangs are also ideal for minimizing a broad forehead, an important nose or a pronounced chin. In the fuller version above, it certainly enhances thin hair by giving it a natural volume. It is a cut that suits both younger and mature women, in the latter case especially in the very short carré versions. We suggest choosing it if we have a sparkling personality or want a clean change that revolutionizes our look!

SHORT HAIR BOULE
One of the most fashionable short haircuts for winter, the pixie cut boule or mini bob cut finds space in various haircut collections. Franck Provost offers the trendy winter 2021 boule cut in a versatile version that is easy to style in different ways. Smooth in perfect 70s style, it is more elegant and feminine, with a long fringe that focuses the attention on the eye, enlivened by the Indian Sun color technique that creates golden reflections in a natural way. If we are looking for hair cuts over 50 and 60 with character, here are the rounded variants of Demetrius platinum blonde or jet black, ideal for hiding white hair. But the bowl cut also lends itself to bolder color experiments, in two-tone and color block versions for those who love to dare. If, on the other hand, we prefer a more classic style, space for Kemon’s very short haircuts longer in front and illuminated by touches of cold blond, with bangs to be worn on the side to make the look more mysterious.

BOULE CARRÈ
The trendy short cut for winter can also be made on medium lengths, a boule yoke all played on fluidity and movement. In fact, Cyril Bazine and Sarah Guimond propose one of the most original medium haircuts for winter, longer on the neck and geometric in the lines, from the fringe to the side lengths, strictly monochromatic. Mark Leeson winks at a more decisive 70s style with his rounded and fluffy boule winter 2022 bowl cut for red hair with arched bangs that gives a graphic effect to the look. And if hairstylists like Pierre Ginsburg enhance the haircut with glossy brown monochromatic shades, Toni & Guy in its The Legacy Collection aims to amaze with bold color block balayage effects, blending warm shades on a dark base to give more intensity to the look and character to the features.
CURLY OR WAVY HAIR WITH BOULE CUT
While it is true that the haircut boule is more defined and tidy on straight hair, on curly and wavy hair it has a more youthful and carefree appearance. Franck Provost presents one of the most glamorous curly haircuts of the season, worked with a curling iron to obtain an even and not excessive volume. In the collection that celebrates his 60 years, Jean Louis David shows us one of the most romantic wavy haircuts, a short layered but longer at the nape with a 90s curl crease that creates the effect of a crown around the face. Vintage mood for the boule helmet by Saint Algue, voluminous and rounded with short fringe and long tufts worked to refine the features.
