At the London premiere of Oz the Great and Powerful she wore this sexy look; a few days prior, she was sporting a 60s inspired style with a side swept front and volume at the crown. She’s enjoying the flexibility of having a bit more length. It’s inspiring to see such adaptability in a short shape.

Spring Hair Cut Inspiration: Super Short Bob

MODEL, SHORT, TRENDING, TRENDING

Image 3-22-13 at 10.18 PM

Combining the look with revealing dresses and dramatic makeup, bobbed hair originated with the free-spirited women of the 1920s. The original shapes were often quite short, tapering into the hairline with points or curls that fell between cheek and chin. When the style reemerged in the sixties the length had dropped to the jawline and in the decades since “bob” has become a term used to describe styles that fall anywhere between mandible and clavicle. Long bobs are great, but there’s something irresistibly sassy about these super short versions. These cuts frame the cheeks, elongate the neck, feel coy and dramatic. Get this re-imagined classic in a few simple steps. –– Laura Martin
