If you want to get haircut inspiration before the new season, TikTok is the place to do it. Hairdressers from around the world have established themselves as the most influential beauty trendsetters on the app. They present looks like the “U-Shape” haircut (a curved cut that gives the hair a lot of volume), the “Midi-Flick” (a medium-length hairstyle that sits on the shoulders and is neatly pinned up) and the “C -Shape” haircut (a heavily layered hairstyle that makes fine hair look twice as full). But with the transition to winter, a haircut is becoming increasingly popular that will also end up in your salon - the air cut.
What is the Air Cut?
Like most viral hair trends, the air cut was created in Korea. In this technique, the strands are cut very closely and concentrated around the face to create a frame and on the forehead to create wispy bangs. When you tousle the hair with your fingers or run a brush through the lengths, the layers appear fluffy and airy - hence the name.
The air cut is quickly becoming the new trend on TikTok. This breezy hairstyle is light and flowy, and is all about creating movement. The feather-light texture is created by seamlessly layering the hair to provide volume and versatility. This technique creates a beautiful shape that can be tailored to almost any hair structure. It's an evolution of the more severe hairstyles like the wolf cut and the "shullet" (a mix of shag and mullet), but the air cut adds more swing and glamor than edge.
What are the advantages of the trend hairstyle?
TikTokers have all been going viral lately for sharing their air cuts. Not only are the results gorgeous, but the layers also add lots of volume to fine hair. Depending on the cut, the hairstyle can also have the opposite effect if your hair is very thick.
Benefits of air cutting for thin hair: The steps are close together and flow seamlessly into each other, creating a very airy appearance. This cut makes it easier to achieve volume when blow-drying. This makes limp hair appear thicker.
Benefits of Air Cut for Thick Hair: If you have thick hair, this hairstyle can reduce all the weight by using layers. This will make your hair lighter and give it more movement. This is because the steps reduce the weight in some places.

This cut is suitable for all hair lengths:Another advantage of Air Cut is that it works for many hair lengths. The cut is particularly fascinating on curly hair. Just make sure your stylist pays attention to how much length they remove when layering, as curly hair tends to bounce quite high after the cut.
How do you style and care for the air cut?
The Air Cut is quite versatile and allows you to style and blow dry in different ways. But it does require some effort, especially if you want fullness and bounce.
For the full, airy effect, you should lightly spray a volumizing spray into the roots. If you have some curlers on hand, these are a great way to add volume at the roots. Dry the hair 99%, roll it up and spray it with salt spray. Finally, dry the hair with a diffuser on low heat and gently brush out once you remove the curlers. This provides effortless volume.

Tipp: Curlers are probably the easiest solution. But if you have a steady hand, you can also use a round brush and a hairdryer.
For heavily layered hair, it is also sufficient to dry it briefly with a towel and curl it with curling cream. Then let the hair dry naturally or blow dry it with a diffuser. This is a more relaxed version but just as beautiful and simple.
How to maintain the haircut? With any heavily layered hairstyle, it becomes more difficult to achieve the airy, voluminous look after six weeks as your hair starts to grow out. Steps also grow and become flabby. We therefore recommend that you make an appointment for a recut every six to eight weeks.
How should you ask your stylist for an air cut? This depends on whether you want your hair big and airy (in which case ask for lots of volume in the form of layers and face framing) or just airy bangs (ask for wispy bangs and layers, that frame the face).
