Tammy, a blogger, reminisces about her first time getting a bowl haircut when she was 15. She says, “Mary (the hair stylist) sectioned off a v-shape for my bangs and combed the straight forward over my face. She pinned the sides back over my shoulder out of the way. She reached for a large pair of barber scissors from the counter and brought them towards me. I closed my eyes tight…I opened my eyes to see a newly exposed face looking back at me. My bangs were cut straight across my forehead just above my eyebrows. My eyes popped open wide looking at my reflection.

After the haircut, she says, “I don’t know why I liked it but it felt so amazing. It felt almost liberating to be without my long hair and short hair felt better for some reason (i).”

Legendary hairstylist Vidal Sassoon invented the bowl haircut back in the 1970s. The style returned to the forefront of the fashion industry as everything circles back around.
