Getting the most hated haircut to see if I can make it work

Getting the most hated haircut to see if I can make it stylish...The aline graduated bob.
Also known in its slang terms; The Karen Cut.
I belive that haircuts can often get stigmas and bad reps and I wanted to see if with the right styling and tweaking, we can give this haircut the respect it deserves.

I hate that this haircut - which is a classic A-line Bob first popularized by the Flappers in the Jazz Age - has somehow become synonymous with the hated "Karen." Very unfortunate.

Exactly! the whole “Karen” thing came from Kate Gosselin when she had that ugly reverse mullet which wasn’t even an A line bob. So we should actually be saying “she’s such a Kate” not “Karen”😅.

**As a cosmetologist opinion** The A-line bob when layed sleek and extra smooth= super chic fabulous and The more you begin to tease and add texture is when is begins it’s metamorphosis into a Karen hairstyle *hence on style* Legend has it, the higher you tease and add volume and the more texture added /shorter and spiker it becomes, the higher level of Karen difficulty level you are dealing with 😮‍💨

@Goldie-666 5 ай бұрын

Fellow cosmetologist here! A good haircut/stylist and styling makes all the difference! There's a reason why this cut got so popular- the notorious Karen's style just isn't the same as a chic ALine

This is one of my absolute favorite haircuts, in Spain we call it "V cut". I've had it many times, way more exaggerated than yours, with chin-long front pieces and a really short back part (in the 90s many girls used to even shave the back of their head with this cut). I just love it, it really suits me, and no Karen is going to ruin it.

@karynstouffer3562 7 ай бұрын

I was a stylist back then. I gave many young, and middle-aged, women this cut. And, yes, even some with a quite exaggerated angle - some shaved and some with about a cm of hair in back.

@Sleepingvampires 7 ай бұрын

I had a classmate with it in the 90's, and it looked amazing on her, my guess is her mother was a stylist, the hair cut requires maintenance to continue to look good. I didn't really like her and I didn't want to copy her. I also thought it would look better if I was thinner since I carried weight in my face. I think now that I lost weight it would be cute on me, but my sister got it a few times and it didn't look bad on her, but seeing it grow out I know I don't want the upkeep that the hair style requires.

@tracyaf6084 8 ай бұрын

Unpopular opinion: the Karen cut is just the French bob of its time. Of course it’s dated now, but that’s just what haircuts do. I’m enjoying a shaggy just above the shoulder cut right now and I love it but I know I won’t love it in 5 years 😂

I definitely had this cut in 2005, and at the time, I got tons of compliments on it. Popular styles come and go. It’s only cringe-inducing to us now because it’s 20 years past it’s hey-day, this time round. It’s also down to the person, as Stella shows in this video; if you’re styling is well thought out, pulled together and you look happy, almost any style can look timeless.

@Hiimjess8 8 ай бұрын

As a hairstylist this is just a run of the mill standard diagonal forward bob with stacked layers and a bit of fringe. My understanding of “the Karen” (that’s my moms name, sweetest lady ever, hate the term karen) otherwise known as “speak to the manager” is like super short in the back and really long front …aka Kate Gossling 2005 ish. They are different haircuts. The bob is less severe more connected, softer. The karen is disconnected, lacks cohesiveness and flow, and is left quite heavy in the front.

@lindatannock 7 ай бұрын

I agree. The "Karen" has chin length or longer bangs in the front and is tapered very high at the back, with lots of volume in the crown. This is beautiful on her, but definitely not a "Karen " cut imo.

For me the Karen haircut is the back being stuck out straight with gel or hair spray and it sticking straight out the back. It coming down into a taper isn't it. And that look was just popular during that time so tons of women had it and it sadly ended up becoming a stereotype.

@NikitaUnique 8 ай бұрын

The versions or variations of this cut that I think tend to get the most “hate” is when 1) the front sections are a LOT longer than the sides/back (so it’s not a streamlined “graduated” line); 2) any coloring / highlights are very chunky and / or high contrast (so not blended); and 3) the top portion (and / or bangs) is not sleek or smooth, but rather “spiky” instead. Removing any of those (more extreme) factors, or a combination thereof, seem to be the key to taking it from “hated” (or tacky) to sleek and stylish. Of course, this is just my opinion based on what I’ve observed. As always, people should choose the style they like best. As usual, Stella, you rocked this! 🥰

@@_san_flower_ Personally, I don’t hate the style myself. I’ve just seen how other people have reacted to it, and noticed that certain variations seemed to elicit a more “emotional” response than others. And the thing is, since we all have different face shapes and features, one style could look terrible on me, but look fabulous on someone else. So it’s not the style itself that’s really the issue. And as Stella mentioned, styling can make a world of difference as well. ☺️
