A type of haircut, but what is the best word in Portuguese? It is apparently also a verb, to blunt cut (or blunt-cut), which I can only assume means "to make a blunt cut on someone's hair".
Context:
(As verb) Diagonally blunt cut a line over the left eye. You will do notching on either side of the line. This technique is free-form in nature, you are notching into the lengths around the front hairline at measured, slightly irregular intervals.
(As noun): This graduated blunt cut - some call it the graduated bob - is modern in its silhouette, and its diagonal forward line gives great freedom of movement. The close-fitting nape area is very sculptural in nature, while the rest of the cut features great structure and shape.

corte direito
Conheço o corte, usei-o na adolescência. É um corte de cabelo que se faz sem qualquer ângulo, mas que é utilizado com esse estilo "bob" para lhe dar volume. A patinadora Dorothy Hammel fez sucesso com esse corte.
