Are bowl cuts (a.k.a. "bunot" hair) back in style? This haircut was popular in the 1960s to 1970s, but it slowly faded into ~oblivion~ in the early 2000s. We suspect the retro 'do is on its way back when we recently spotted Anne Curtis and Nadine Lustre sporting the *same* hairstyle. We had to do a double-take!
LOOK: Anne Curtis' modern take on the bowl cut hairstyle
A total hair chameleon, Anne took to Instagram to show off her edgy 'do for It's Showtime: A bowl cut styled with a messy half bun and some loose waves. The actress can certainly pull off any hairstyle!
LOOK: How Nadine Lustre slayed the bowl-cut hairstyle
Slaying as always, Nadine also sported a micro fringe but with a sleek ponytail during her photoshoot with photographer BJ Pascual. We must say, micro bangs *really* suit her.
In the comments section, netizens couldn't help but gush about their hair makeovers. Some even left the funniest comments! LOL.
Why is a bowl cut called "bunot hair"?
As mentioned earlier, bunot hair is a Filipino term for bowl cut. The name comes from the word bunot, which is a half-shell of a dried coconut used traditionally to buff and polish wooden floors.
Just like the bunot, the bowl cut is achieved by cutting the hair around the head in a uniform, ~blunt~ fringe, creating a rounded shape that resembles a bowl.

While it may seem like Anne and Nadine chopped off their locks, both of them used clip-on bangs! These temporary fringes were styled by their respective hairstylists, Raymond Santiago and Paul Nebres. Trying on a clip-on fringe is a great way to figure out whether bangs would look good on you or not, especially since deciding to get a fringe is a *serious* commitment.
Looking good, Anne and Nadine! ;)
