Too many of us have spent too many years weighed down (literally and figuratively) by the expectation that sexy women have long hair. While long, blended-and-extended layers will continue to be beaten into the ground by the VS Angels, the look has truly been done. Getting up the nerve to take the chop can be as empowering and ego-boosting as trading in stiletto pumps and bandage dresses for the latest flat sandals and a flowy tunic.
The cut that everyone started getting last year (and we predict will continue to be coolest this year), is the blunt, collarbone/chin-grazing bob.
Ditch the extensions and take a stand against blended layers. The new look is blunt, minimalist and choppy.
It looks just as fresh on wavy hair as it does on stick straight, opening up all your styling options.
Even if you don’t feel that you were blessed with the flawless bone structure of Karlie Kloss or Jourdan Dunn, you can pull off the blunt chop at perhaps a longer length than they do. When in doubt, play it safe and start shoulder length…
If you aren’t ready to say goodbye to the years of investment you made in getting your hair to grow, you can ask your stylist to give you the blunt look on long hair:
The only real catch to the blunt cut is keeping it healthy and smooth. My go-to is the Argan Oil and the 7 Seconds Detangler from Unite. These are really strong products, but they don’t use Parabens or harsh chemicals, so they don’t make your hair feel dirty within hours. Pick them up at BLO BLOW DRY BAR CHARLOTTE.
So is ditching blended layers and going blunt an example of style versus sex appeal? My experience says no. The ultimate for sexy in anyone is confidence.
