The hottest haircuts for spring show a big difference in what we've gotten used to seeing. No more long, luxurious hair, extensions, and loose curls... instead, short hair is in!
Jennifer Aniston created quite a stir when she lopped off her long, straight style to a bob with the front a bit longer than the back. The style looks great on her, and flatters many different face shapes. The ideal hair texture for this cut is straight, but if you have wavy or curly hair you just need to use a flat iron and Kenneth's Smooth and Straight, or get the Kenneth's Keratin Smoothing Treatment done! The cut hits right around the collarbone, so you can still pull it back for those hot summer months, but the shorter style lends a more sophisticated and stylish look.
Try a shattered bob for a trendy take on the classic bob that requires less styling time and is more forgiving to different hair textures. Scarlett Johansson recently cut her hair into this style and looks great! It flatters oval and heart-shaped faces in particular, and is best for hair with natural waves. Just use Kenneth's Creative Foam or Volume Infusion to give it some definition and lightly blow-dry or diffuse. Depending on how short you go, this cut might be long enough to pull up, but you can decide on the length -- just keep it off the shoulders for the piece-y look.
The classic pixie is best shown on Halle Berry, who always makes it look both elegant and stylish. It works best on people with petite or well-defined features, and make sure if you go this route to keep up on the maintenance: you will probably need a haircut every three weeks. The color is important, too -- hair this short can look spotty if it's highlighted incorrectly, so stick with one shade or some subtle differentiation instead of bold, chunky highlights. To style, use Kenneth's Paste Wax to give texture and definition to the style and keep it from all blending together.
A classic bob with lots of layers can give a messy, undone look that many people prefer to the smooth and polished bob. This style is extremely flexible, too -- just choose a base length depending on your preferences and go from there! Long bangs also add an element of dimension to the cut and help contribute to the shaggy look. This style is great for fine hair because it can create an illusion of thick, full hair. It's also great for wavy hair and can be low-maintenance. The best way to style is to use Kenneth's Volume Infusion to blowdry or diffuse and then choose a texturizing product such as Kenneth's Texture Taffy to break up the ends.
