Bi-Level Crop Hairstyle

Crop Hairstyle Magic How To

• THE CUT  ~~ By combining a smooth, short perimeter and a longer permed interior, Helen Forlani-Pollari transforms somewhat fine hair into a super crop hairstyle statement. The entire perimeter, which is left unpermed, is cut to curve along the neckline and ends in soft side wisps. The interior, from the layered bangs to the center back, is left longer and unblended. Then it’s permed for maximum root lift and ample end curl.

• THE COLOR  ~~ Always pair permed hair with a safer, semi-permanent hair color. Here, hair in front gets a slightly lighter shade added to woven highlights. It looks just like the sun did it!

• HOW TO STYLE IT  ~~ Work mousse through from roots to ends, then comb down the nape and fringe. Mist curl-rejuvenator onto the permed hair and scrunch locks as you diffuse-dry. Touch up individual pieces with a round brush, adding root lift and direction in front. Curve part of the fringe down to create partial bangs.
