klippauksen

Klippaus is a Swedish term referring to a specific type of short haircut for women. It is characterized by very short hair, often shaved or cut extremely close to the scalp, particularly at the sides and back. The top section may be left slightly longer, allowing for some styling, but the overall aesthetic is one of extreme brevity. This style can range from a uniform buzz cut to more sculpted variations with distinct layering or asymmetry.

Historically, the klippaus gained popularity in the latter half of the 20th century, aligning with broader trends towards more androgynous and utilitarian fashion. It was embraced by women seeking a bold, low-maintenance, and often rebellious look. The style conveys a sense of confidence and can be seen as a departure from more traditional feminine hairstyles.

While not as prevalent as some other hairstyles, the klippaus continues to be adopted by individuals who appreciate its sharp, minimalist, and empowering qualities. Its adaptability lies in the subtle variations one can achieve, from a simple all-over shortness to more precise detailing that accentuates facial features. The term itself is intrinsically linked to the visual effect of being "clipped" or cut very short.
