Cith the beautiful season the desire to cut back always comes back, especially to lighten the head and prepare for the heat. For those looking for a fresh idea, the absolute trend of the moment is called Cloud Cut. It’s a cut which, as the name itself suggests, it is inspired by the lightness of clouds. Let’s let go of the geometric bobs, sharp lines and perfect symmetries that we’ve seen everywhere lately. This style is all about a soft effect, just the right amount of disheveled and incredibly naturalperfect for those who want to renew themselves without distorting their hair.
The Cloud Cut features for light volume
The secret of this hair look is all in a game of strategic and almost invisible scaling. The hair is lightened from the inside, emptying the critical points where too much weight accumulates but without affecting the fullness of the lengths. In this way you can’t see the classic clear “steps” of old hair pulling, but the locks slide over each other fluidly. The result is a soft and natural volume which comes to life on its own with every movement of the head, giving us an airy finish that says goodbye to any artificial rigidity.

The Cloud Cut expresses its maximum potential medium and long hair worn wavybecause it emphasizes natural waves effortlessly. However, it also works very well on straight hair, because it creates an internal scaffold that raises the base and avoids the hateful flat effect.
How to replicate it at home
The last great advantage, which makes it very popular, is that it is a very low maintenance cut. Drying it at home is a breeze: just apply a light volumizing product on damp roots and proceed with the hairdryer upside down or using a large round brush to give the base a little boost. The lengths should be left free, shaping the waves with your hands. Banished gels, strong hairsprays and wild straighteners: the watchword is let your hair move in total freedom.
