Lensed at the Blue Valentine red carpet, Cannes, Michelle Williams is a picture of timeless beauty and grace. Her idyllic crop is growing out, yet her hair remains her crowning glory. Her lovely thick strands suit this sharp, bold look. The graduated shape with sweeping bangs bring out the beauty of her eyes. Notice how there is a fair bit of length on the top. This enables versatility; the style can be worn messy or smooth, spiked or flat. This fun hairstyle is great for those who want a hip look that requires little or no maintenance.
Step: Ask your stylist for a short, round graduated razor-cut with side-swept bangs. Take this image an inspiration. Talk to your colorist about your optimum color palette. Depending on your personality and complexion, you can wear this style in red or raven, as well as blondes from strawberry to ash.
Step: Create texture and separation by working texture paste through the shape.
Step: Don’t be afraid to be creative. Try creme wax for a low-glow matte finish. Use hair gel to spike or slick. Build texture and volume with Refinish dry shampoo.
