Spring HairStyle Inspiration: Perfectly Imperfect Cut, Graphic & Bold

BRUNETTE, EVERYDAY, REAL WOMEN, SHORT

77af47e21fe044587bbad76d183e289d

This is an fearsome style for hip, chic girls. The strong yet diffused outline acts as a great frame for the features, especially as there is a lot of emphasis on the beautifully full and swooshing bang section. A creative, graphic shape with a jagged line and fluidity, it looks like a razor-cut, which helps to keep it loose and shaggy. The finish is undone –– like she was out all night and then drove to work with the top down –– but the style is versatile: It can be smoothed-out with a blowdry, tousled into natural-texture looks (as above), braided, or parted.

Spring Hair Style Inspiration: Swingy Grown Out Bob

EVERYDAY, MEDIUM, MODEL

Smudgy eyeliner, nude lips, and leather jackets herald the return of grunge as a big influence on spring fashion. Shaggy texture and loose styling lend a grown out feeling to this season’s hair looks, for a cool, casual vibe. Bobs that dust the shoulder with long, eye-skimming bangs have a lived-in feeling that provides an interesting counterpoint to the crisp outline of these shapes. Muted reds have a faded quality that enhances the look. Read the style notes to learn more about this trending style. –– Laura Martin

Spring Hair Cut Inspiration: Low Volume, High Texture

BRUNETTE, EVERYDAY, MEDIUM, MODEL

Piecey disheveled texture sits around the eyes and below the jaw in this funky style. Rumpled tips give this cut a carefree, grown out feeling that lends effortless coolness. Paired with oversized sunglasses and natural makeup the cut provides a breezy, urban look that’s perfect for spring. The short layers on top make it an easy grow out from a short shape, and the length, which sits below the collar bone, gives a sense of security if you’re used to longer shapes. Read the style notes for tips on getting this cut, and styling it. –– Laura Martin

From Our Archives: Cameron Diaz & The Luscious Sideswept Bangs

BLONDE, CELEBRITY, COLOR, CUT, EVERYDAY, MEDIUM, NOTED, SLEEK, STYLE

This color and cut and style is incredibly beautifying. Multiple face-framing layers are a great way to add definition to the bone structure, while the shiny sideswept bangs make it impossible not to look into those alluring clear blue eyes. Overall it is a clever choice because Cameron’s hair is relatively fine, and comes with a soft natural wave. This organic movement plays into the cascading shape of the cut; meanwhile, the loose, free-flowing design also means that she doesn’t have to worry about her style holding its structure, which can be a problem for finer hair types who go for overly structured styles. Multi-dimensional golden blonde highlighting adds final touches of glister, shimmer, and shine.
