Square dog haircut

The square dog haircut is an interesting grooming trend that first emerged several years ago in Asian countries, particularly Japan and Taiwan. Thanks to local groomers, the dog haircut has found a new lease of life: now you can literally turn your pet into a cube. It's unlikely that the cube haircut trend will catch on in Russia or other countries. However, the idea is certainly intriguing and, most importantly, harmless to animals.

Canine Geometry

First of all, we can recall the Japanese desire to give ordinary things unusual shapes. Take, for example, the world-famous square watermelons, which were grown for more compact and convenient storage. Given such a love of squares, it's hardly surprising that they decided to recreate this geometric shape in the image of their pets.

As the name suggests, the basic idea of ​​a square haircut is to shape your dog into a perfect cube. Groomers meticulously trim the coat to achieve perfect evenness and precise geometric lines. Professionals use various types of scissors, and some tools can cost several thousand dollars.

These haircuts primarily focus on dogs' faces, but some particularly creative individuals are willing to create cubic shapes for the overall look. Furthermore, square haircuts are cost-effective for the dog groomer: hair grows at different rates, and a square shape will quickly lose its shape. Consequently, your pet will need to be groomed more often.

Not just a poodle

Cubic hairstyles are most often done poodles, creating true geometric masterpieces.

But that doesn't mean a similar option can't be implemented for other pets. The main thing is that the animal has enough hair to give the appropriate shape to the head and body. This type of haircut is quite suitable for other pets. Bichon Frise, lapdogs, spitz and other breeds with lush vegetation.

This image of the dog's head is perfect for Instagram. After all, it was this social network that fueled the popularity of square photos. Even more resourceful dog lovers compare "square dogs" to the graphics of the popular game Minecraft.

Looking at this photo of the miracle of "sadness squared," it's hard to hold back a smile.

Owners of dogs with square haircuts are ready not only to attract attention to their pets, but also to compete with each other to see whose dog is "squarer."

Besides squares, another geometric option is popular in Asia: perfectly round ball-shaped haircuts, which look no less playful. Given this trend toward geometrics, we can probably expect triangles to join this trend in the near future.
