Geo haircuts create timeless styles with precise edges and defined angles. It's easy to style and maintain this edgy look. Our model line-up demonstrates several of the many geo hairstyles. And we show you exactly how to create them.

This Hermès model wears the precisely cut bob well. It is one of countless geo haircuts

The "geo" in geo haircut stands for "geometric" shapes and angles: triangles, rectangles, circles or diamonds. Geo haircuts are all about precision and simple shapes.

Among the geo hairstyles are the bob, mop top, short hair with bangs, and the mock bob. They must be cut with precision and combed straight. Loose strands, layered hair, fringes or beach waves hair have no place in geo hairstyles. Cool, precision-cut, and perfectly styled geo haircuts is the hairstyle fashion polar opposite of the the soft tousled undone look. However, the two looks have one common characteristic: they are both timeless hairstyle favorites that never go out of style.

Geo Haircuts: The Hair Color

Geo haircuts look best with a uniform hair color. Unusual hair colors like yellow, pink or blue are perfect geo haircut colors. However, coloring hair brown or blonde can also enhance the geo style. If you are trying to be a little adventurous, but not ready for completely outrageous hair, you may want to choose one of the many shades of red hair color, from copper to aubergine. Alternatively if it suits your skin tone better to opt for a darker shade, use black hair dye to give hair an unusual depth of color.  

Geo Haircuts: The Styling

Styling geo haircuts is particularly easy for women with naturally straight hair. Otherwise, a flat iron or straightening blow dryer kit will keep your hair straight. If you need some help with using your hot iron or blow dryer, read all our best tips on how to straighten hair.   

Geo hairstyles can be styled with a glossy or matte finish. The best styling products for geo haircuts are hair wax (to help tame frizzy hair) and hairspray (to keep every hair in place).
