Chop Crop Short Hairstyles How To

This shorter version of the chop crop cut features irregular ends, long interior layers and piecy bangs that you can play up or down as desired. At Elon salon in Marietta, GA, Stacy King says the haircut isn’t intended to look perfectly in place, which makes it ideal for those who like a more casual look or aren’t great at precision hairstyle finishing. Long bangs are snipped into a curved shape to frame the eyes, but can be brushed back into the style anytime you want. Worn in front of the ears, the cut takes on a whole new look that can be styled full or sleek.

• This Hairstyle Works Best If:

  • Your hair is medium in volume and medium in texture.

  • Your hair is naturally straight or slightly bodified.

    

• This Hairstyle Requires:

  • Daily blow-drying. Start with freshly shampooed hair, towel-dry and add a dollop of mousse, working it evenly from roots to ends. Comb hair behind your ears and begin blow-drying by bending up the ends with a round brush. Lift top layers to add some volume then curve bangs slightly around the brush. Now, finger-style the top moving pieces to either side of the part and pulling down a few more pieces to act as bangs if desired.

  • A trim every 4 to 6 weeks.

• This Hairstyle is Not Recommended If:

  • Your hair is sparse or very fine.

  • You have somewhat irregular features . . . this cut reveals all!

Count me out on the Fall 2007 Hairstyle Trends

I’m a bit disappointed watching the new hair styles shown at the Fall 2007 Runway Shows in New York, Milan & Paris. Bored . . . is actually a better word for it. I mean it’s sooo back to early 70′s!

I’m dating myself now, I know, but I remember when my sisters and I came up with our own version of a great “blow dry style,” before the hand-held hair dryer came out in 1971. The hair to model at that time was, Cher, with her long silky straight hair parted in the middle. Now, my sisters and I had been blessed with thick wavy hair that had a mind of it’s own. You know the kind, never waving in the right places, a bit frizzy and of course, we wanted Cher hair . . . smooth and sleek.

We figured out that, at least in the right seasons in Minnesota, we could drive around Como Lake, one driving and the others with heads out the window, brushing the hair with tension in the wind. It was a quick way to get beautifully straight and shiny Cher hair. The cool outdoor air, closes the cuticle on the hair and the force of the wind leaves the hair shinier than drying with a hot hair dryer. We have friends who still remind us how funny we looked doing our hair styling routine with heads out the window and hair blowing in the wind.

According to the Fall 2007 Runway Hair, you’ll be seeing an updated version of the early 70′s look. They are showing the long hair, parted down the middle, with a softly styled casual look to it. (Actually, I think we looked like this too, when we left the hair go natural.) Some of you may also remember setting your hair in orange juice cans and sleeping on them!
