• TEXTURED CROP HAIRSTYLE ~~THE COLOR  Beige blondes are super for this hairstyle because they have a youthful, fresh appearance. Even if you’re older, they’re no so bright and light that they look unnatural. A smattering of front high lights brightens the color closest to the face.

• TEXTURED CROP HAIRSTYLE~~HOW TO STYLE IT Part damp hair on the far side, tuck the light side behind your ear and comb through a quarter sized amount of styling creme. Dry in sections as you bend up ends. Finish by smoothing on pomade and combing from the roots to where the flip begins.
