Top 10 Chelsea Haircuts That May Inspire You To Do The Same

If you want luscious hair that could match your old-school, punk, and spontaneous style, then you should check out the Chelsea Haircut.But, first and foremost, let’s talk about what this hairstyle is all about— this extraordinary cut is wherein the front part of the head is left in a long, medium, or short hair length, while the rest of the hair at the back is very short clipped or even shaved completely.

But again, it totally depends on your preferences, and you can mix up the style entirely to your liking. Women first did this style in an area in the United Kingdom called Chelsea, thus explaining its name. This haircut became a trending cut during World War II since lengthy hair, in general, was prone to accidents such as getting caught on machinery and such.

So, now that we’re acquainted with what a Chelsea haircut is, let me show you fifteen individuals ultimately owning this extraordinary hairstyle that may or may not also inspire you to do the same:

Perhaps the charcoal-black color in the Chelsea haircut is the most classic and neat. It won’t stand out like the others, and the black color will go well with dark eyes and fair skin. The charcoal black color is very saturated, so between dyeing you will have to additionally tint your hair.

Mixture of colors

To do this, you need to choose two or three colors that will go well with each other, and carefully dye the hair. This hairstyle is ideal for creative people who want to express themselves.

An elongated version of the Chelsea haircut will help to make the face more expressive and open. If you have a round face, then this option is perfect for you. The main thing here is not to make the strands too long, otherwise it will look untidy. Long bangs can be Braided or laid in cascading curls.

This is a classic Chelsea cut with the standard long sides and soft-looking bangs above the eyes. The back of the head has been shaved, but you can also leave it shortly clipped— whatever is your preference. With a Chelsea Haircut, you would look and feel like a rockstar in the 80s. Plus, if you add some vibrant and crazy colors into the mix, you will get that look of awe everywhere you go.

If you’re planning to do this cut on your own, just remember that the Chelsea is all about shaving or cutting the crown or the entire back of the head short or shaved while leaving a fringe, bangs, and sides framing the face.

So, what are you waiting for? If this hairstyle is something that caught your interest, then go for it!
