18 Cool Mushroom Haircut and Bowl Cut Styles for 2021

Updated: Jul 27, 2021

Before you write off mushroom cut hair, take a look at these gorgeous short hairstyles!


The mushroom haircut, also known as the bowl haircut, is a short haircut in which hair is cut evenly short on the sides and back, while the length is left long on the top. The finished result looks similar to a mushroom head, hence its name. We’ve seen models on the runway with mushroom cut hair and even actress, Charlize Theron, sports it, which can only mean one thing – your mum was right… the bowl cut is cool.


But it’s not just the runway that is enamoured with this style, as we’ve noticed that a surge of stylish ladies on Instagram are also taking the mushroom hairstyle plunge – but all with a modern twist.
