The bowl cut's resurgence is part of a continuation of trendy short hairstyles in 2023. If you want in on the trend, simply cutting your hair in a bowl shape isn't enough.
Moses Horwitz, more commonly known as Moe from "The Three Stooges," famously told a story of cutting his long hair in a circle to get his classmates to stop teasing him (via Mental Floss). It can't be argued that his cut isn't iconic, but to bring the look up to date, you'll need to do more than just focus on the circle part of the cut. It's the updates this hairstyle has received that are making the bowl cut so popular right now. The color, cut, and style all matter.
For web series creator and stylist Kandace Banks, who frequently shares her stylish, short bowl cut on Instagram, the inspiration for her new cut came from fashion and hair icons of the '90s. In an interview with Coveteur, Banks explained that her biggest inspirations were Nia Long and Halle Berry, two women known for making short hair fashionable and appealing. Adding a stylish side part or keeping the crown area teased will help you channel your inner '90s superstar.
