Have you seen Ava Max’s hair, the stylish half-cut that almost looks like something you’d see in a sci-fi movie set in a distant future? Looking at such an extreme hairstyle, you might be wondering whether or not someone would actually commit to spending their day-to-day life looking so eye-grabbing and outrageous, or if it’s just a wig.

Ava Max does not wear a wig, the unique cut is all her own hair and something that she calls the “Max Cut.” The “Max Cut” is an invention completely of her own devising, a hairstyle she feels represents her.

There are no half measures with Max, the only time that she does anything in halves is when she cuts her hair! For Max, her hair isn’t simply a fashion statement, it’s one of the first things about her appearance that she ever felt truly represented her.

So, how can we be sure that it’s not a wig, and just how exactly did she end up with such an outlandish style?

The Max Cut

Before we get started, if you aren’t entirely familiar with the “Max Cut”, then prepare yourself for the shock. It’s how you would imagine your hair would look if you walked out in the middle of a hairstylist doing their job, the kind of hair that makes such a big statement that it’s only wearable by someone with an even bigger personality.

Although it seems a little on the bizarre side, fans have come to love the unique look that she sports, with Max and her “Max Cut” becoming something of a style icon. That doesn’t stop people from poking a little bit of fun, however, such as the many sly comments about her wanting to have her cake and eat it with regards to having short or long hair.

You might still be asking yourself if it’s a wig or not, so let’s turn to Max herself for some confirmation.

Undeniable Evidence

She must have understandably received her fair share of questions about whether or not her hair is a wig, if not because of the style then because of how often she mixes up her hair color from natural tones to a rainbow of pastel. Setting the doubters straight, Max released a video on Instagram proving once and for all that her “Max Cut” was no wig.

It’s for real, folks, as the small clip shows Max rocking her hair and back and forth with vigor, a flurry of strands flying around her face but staying firmly connected to her head. She even addresses the suggestion that it’s a wig directly, posing the question of whether or not it would even be possible to do what she just did in a wig.
