A women's hairstyle, cut very short (around cheek length or less) on the sides and back of the head, while slightly longer on top.
The amount of styling varies, but it is usually unstyled. The cut often includes swept bangs that are positioned close to the eyes, creating a flattering and accentuated facial profile. They are typically low-maintenance, require minimal styling, and are a practical option for those who lead active lifestyles.
The hairstyle is often commonly associated with tomboy characters.
