The Dorothy Hamill haircut became famous after Dorothy Hamill won Olympic gold in 1976. Known as the “wedge” cut, it features short, layered hair with soft volume and clean lines around the face. It works well for straight to slightly wavy hair and suits women who want a low-maintenance yet polished look. Before choosing this style, consider your face shape and hair texture, as the cut relies on precise layering to hold its shape. A skilled stylist is key to getting the authentic, balanced finish that made it iconic.
