'Christy cut' — directly inspired by Christy Turlington's signature 1990s supermodel haircut. Quiet luxury, editorial minimalism. LENGTH: just above the shoulder (about 30 cm / 12 inches), with a clean blunt perimeter line. LAYERS: subtle 'invisible' internal layering for movement only — there must be NO visible step, NO face-framing wisps, NO shag-style choppiness. The cut reads as a single elegant length with imperceptible internal weight removal. ENDS: clean, blunt, slightly bent under at the very tips for a soft 'C-curve' finish (90s blowout finish). TEXTURE: glossy, sleek, with the most minimal natural bend rather than poker-straight. Polished editorial finish, never frizzy or beachy. PART: deep center part or slight side part. Hair falls smoothly forward or tucked behind the ears. NOT a hush cut or wolf cut (no visible face-framing layers, no shag). NOT a Christy bob (must hang at shoulder, not jaw). NOT beachy waves or tousled (texture is brushed, glossy, runway-finished). Reference: Christy Turlington 1992-1995 Vogue covers, Cindy Crawford's 90s lob.

The Christy cut is the 1990s supermodel cut — shoulder-length with chunky face-framing layers, slight feathering at the ends, full body throughout. Named for Christy Turlington who wore the definitive version circa 1995. The cut sat at the intersection of grunge and glamour that defined mid-decade hair, and it has revived twice since (early 2010s, current 2020s).
It flatters oval and heart faces — the chunky framing layers balance heart shapes by adding volume around the cheekbones, and the full body suits oval faces by adding visual fullness. Straight, wavy, and lightly curly hair all wear it; the chunky layering shows on every texture.
Medium daily maintenance — needs a blowout to set the full body. Air-drying produces a softer, less defined version of the cut. Trim every eight weeks to maintain the chunky layered shape. The original Christy cut era was 1994-1997; the cut revived around 2010-2012 as part of the 'effortless model' aesthetic, then again in 2022-2023 as the 90s revival peaked. Ask for 'shoulder-length with chunky face-framing layers — think Christy Turlington circa 1995' — naming the reference is the fastest path to getting the cut.
