50 Cool Asymmetrical Haircuts for Every Face Shape and Hair Type

What asymmetrical haircuts are the trendiest this year? What face shape are they best for? Check out the fullest guide on this type of haircuts!

We aren’t talking about math when we describe a haircut as asymmetrical. We just mean that one side of your hair is longer than the other. An awesome thing about these haircuts is that they’re for both long and short hair, and they work for all face shapes, even for full or somewhat disproportionate faces. They’re also great for adding an instant spark to your style. Take a look at our 50 favorite ways to wear this type of haircut!

1. Two-Tone Hairdo. Silver locks are so fascinating! Your hair will look even more gorgeous if you dye it different shades of gray. It’s a working short haircut for older ladies as well as young girls.

2. Textured Pixie. Pack your personality into funky short haircuts that feature texture everywhere.

3. Piece-y Patchy Pixie. Ask your stylist to do a similar cut with piece-y layers for instant texture. Frosted tips or short hair balayage highlights are a must for this look.

4. Pixie Bob with Waves. Get a luscious, touchable haircut by going pixie-short and adding in lots of waves for texture. Or leaving your natural curls almost intact.

5. Layered Undercut Bob. Undercuts will make anyone look younger and fresher. Add more layers to create texture and tease the back of your hair for a messier look.

6. Curly Pixie. Curly hair always gets an edge from the undercut side. The curls and shortness combine for an amazing style.

7. Undercut Pixie Cut. It’s one of the trendiest haircuts this year. Challenge yourself by cutting your hair short and leaving a longer side to create a modern and timeless haircut.

8. Zig-Zag Parting. This short hair with one side longer looks very elegant, and it immediately lets people know what kind of person you are – daring, confident, and eager to try out new things.

9. Short Pixie. A short hairstyle has always been considered bold and risky, so definitely go for it if you feel the confidence. Adding curls or waves to your cut makes it look like a brand-new hairstyle.

10. Bob with a Short Temple. Need to ‘lift’ your hair a little? Get your hairspray and add volume to your hairdo by teasing your crown layers. Just don’t forget to take your hairspray with you and make sure to check on your hairstyle throughout the day.

11. Long Jet-Black Pixie. This sassy style combines shorter hair on the bottom with longer pieces at the top and goes super-long in the front while oozing razor-cut texture all around.

12. Blue-Black Undercut Pixie. Girls with an undercut look cool and sexy, and the solid black only adds to the boldness, but the best thing is how seamlessly the swoop balances the narrowness of the face.

13. Short Pixie Bob. When the warmer season comes around, give your locks a big chop and level up to a soft wavy cut.

14. Deep Side Part Pixie. If your hair has a lot of volume but you want to go short, try a heavy side part to emphasize your hair’s thickness.

15. Blonde Pixie. Older women can still sport their sass – just try on a blonde pixie like this one. Plan regular trims to keep this haircut in shape and invest in a good hairstyling product.

16. High-Contrast Highlighted Haircut. This is, basically, a longer version of a pixie, but its chin-grazing side creates a striking contrast, which makes us believe that another side is shorter than it actually is.

17. Creamy Blonde Bob. This shimmering short bob with a stacked back gains even more volume around the perimeter thanks to the lifted and rounded sides.

18. Sleek Stacked Pixie-Bob. While short haircuts with buzzed napes may seem too rebellious, this bixie hairstyle is so neat and clean that it brings to mind Vidal Sassoon’s perfectly geometric cuts.

19. Textured Stacked Bixie. Probably, this dimensional cut wouldn’t lose its elegant feel if done without a bit of asymmetry, but it would definitely lack the texture that comes with the tresses swept to one side.

20. Black and Blonde Cut. We can admit going crazy over haircuts that allow girls to play with their hair, and this cute pixie is not only straight and wavy but also blonde and brunette at the same time.

21. Stacked Bob with Side Bangs. We cannot decide what we like more about this bold bob — the strikingly mismatching lengths on the sides or the movement and texture created throughout the perimeter.

22. Short-to-Long Bob. Try this inverted haircut to make it look as if you’ve just got out of bed, which is really charming and sexy. Tease your hair now and again throughout the day to freshen it up a little.

23. Sleek Bob Cut. Isn’t it a great way to add angles to the round-shaped face? The lifted crown and the longer side give it elongation, and the tapered undercut helps to define the cheekbones.

24. Dark Red Curly Crop. Another bold haircut for true fashionistas. But this one has a more feminine vibe: it’s cool but looks very romantic and will definitely suit the girliest girl out there.

25. Champagne Blonde Face Framing. Sparkling with the shades of pink champagne, this pixie cut adds a tuft of long hair to the usual choppy pieces to beautifully hug the face and soften the facial contour.

26. Rounded Pixie-Bob. Despite its obvious smoothness, this charming bixie hairstyle comes with a couple of sassy angles while hugging the face flatteringly to show off all its beauty.

27. Short Layered Bob. Girls with narrow faces and pointy chins will definitely need more volume down the cheekbones, and this is perfectly achievable with haircuts like this cute bob.

28. White-Blonde Crop. What do you do if you want to get a classic bob and a shaved haircut at the same time? You do both! That would be a perfect union of your tomboyish and feminine sides.

29. Two-Tone Layered Crop. Want a cut that has movement and depth? Ask your hairdresser for a short nape with rather long tresses on the top and spice up the crop with some choppiness and color play.

30. Wavy Side Undercut. The undercut certainly makes the haircut stand out, providing a more dynamic look and showing off your long, thin neck.

31. Side-Parted Straight Crop. Here is a great tip for girls with straight tresses: you don’t need layering and texturizing to enjoy volume and add interest to your hair as long as you wear it thrown to one side.

32. Bob with Side Bangs. This bob haircut is universal, suiting women of all ages. Add some waves and enjoy stealing glances of every person passing by.

33. Thick Hair Pixie Bob. If you are looking for short haircuts that will work for a thick mane, this cool style that combines the layered short back of a pixie with the length of a bob on the sides will show it to the best advantage.

34. White and Purple Crop. When your hair features a daring undercut and ultra-long bangs, you need to make sure both of them get noticed. And what can be more attention-grabbing than bright spots of purple against pure white?

35. Layered Beachy Waves. If you need to spice up your bob for a moment, add layers and waves to it for more texture and dimension. The hairstyle brings amazing summer vibes that are so needed during winter.

36. Thick Hair Feathered Layers. A girl with an unruly head of hair will be glad to debulk it and make it more manageable, which can be achieved through layering and thinning out.

37. Blonde Side-Swept Pixie. This clearly outlined cut doesn’t boast plenty of choppiness, but it is still handsomely textured and volumized thanks to the piece-y finish and stacked back.

38. Layered Wispy Bangs Cut. Older women transitioning to their natural grays should steal such a classy silvery look packed with texture and dimension.

39. Pixie with Piece-y Bangs. You don’t need to commit to a dramatic imbalance for rocking non-symmetrical hairstyles, and this chic crop with a focus slightly shifted to one side sets an example.

40. Magenta Layered Lob. What can better produce the wow effect than a killer combination of bright color and eye-catching asymmetry complemented with bounce and volume?

41. Angled Straight Cut. Medium-length non-symmetrical haircuts look best on perfectly straight locks. Add shine to your hair with a small amount of serum.

42. Choppy Short Crop. This lady knows how to add interest to her look with a daring textured pixie and how to soften mature features with some longer front pieces.

43. Streaky Highlights. Getting a long pixie that can be easily side-parted to sweep most of the hair to one side is half the work, but spotlighting the asymmetry with pops of color — that’s the talk!

44. Stacked Balayaged Bob. For thick and fine hair, a stacked non-symmetrical cut is a great solution to enhance and distribute the volume of your hair properly.

45. Accentuated Pixie with Bangs. Not only does this flamboyant cut blend the piece-y bangs with the longer side tresses, but it also accentuates the choppiness with a mix of blonde and ginger shades.

46. Wavy Short Bob. Combine light blonde streaks in the front and a dark brown base shade with waves and a short non-symmetrical haircut to get the true money piece look.

47. Pixie Faux-Updo. By using a product to emphasize the texture of your pixie with a side undercut, you can make your look truly elegant on that special day.

48. Peekaboo Undercut Bob. While the deep side parting gives a little extra zhuzh to this effortless bob, the side strands tucked behind the ear to show off the shaved temple make the style stand out.

49. Burgundy Undershave Bob. Looking like a regular layered bob from one side, this wine-colored cut really knocks us down when showing the part that is shaved close to the scalp.

50. Jagged Bob Cut. Your fine hair is a perfect match for a similar bob with bangs. Mix shadow roots with blonde highlights for the perfect look.

As you can see, there’s no shortage of unique, edgy, and just plain beautiful ways to wear such hairstyles. Whether your hair is short or has a little more length, a simple change in the way you have it cut can do wonders for your overall look. Which one will you try?
