wedge cut

Pie-shaped potato piece

A wedge cut is a hairstyle where hair is cut shorter at the nape and gradually longer toward the crown, creating a stacked, angled shape that resembles a wedge.

Popular since Dorothy Hamill's iconic 1976 Olympic look, it adds volume and structure to the back of the head: She asked her stylist for a modern wedge cut.
