Thinking of changing up your look or freshening up your cut?
We tapped the experts for the "it" short hairstyles trending right now, from the street, to the
red carpet.
You might just find out your favorite celebrity is the perfect inspiration to switch it up
this season!
Soon after cutting Miley Cyrus' hair into an asymmetrical pixie, celebrity hairstylist
Chris McMillan told Allure about one of his friends who asked about the choice, saying,
But it's not just teens that can rock the style.
In fact, McMillan himself lists the look as one of his top seven favorite short haircuts.
"Nothing chic-er.
It's fashion, it's true fashion.
My inspiration for short hair has always been anywhere from Twiggy to Mia Farrow."
But this cut is not for the faint of heart.
Stylist Devin Toth says,
Once all the rage in the early to mid-aughts, side-swept bangs are back.
Stylist Christian Wood told Refinery29 that he expected them to be particularly trendy
throughout 2019.
And without a doubt, Taylor Swift is your go-to gal for inspiration.
"Is your life at all normal?"
"No."
"Not at all."
Celeb stylist Vanessa Collington told Today,
"The secret to her look are the teased ends to add volume and body…Ask for a shoulder
length cut with a deep, side-swept bang.
Don't forget to ask for teasing on ends of hair for extra volume."
Senior stylist Brenna Fletcher of New York City's Antonio Prieto Salon, says,
You can try out some choppy forehead fringe, like 2006 Marion Cotillard, or you can experiment
with an even fiercer style: blunt bangs.
Rooney Mara may be the first name you think of when it comes to this look, but she's not
the only one that has embraced the trend.
"I mean, whaddaya do, it's like a ponytail or you're just gonna look like Barbarella."
When hairstylist Adir Abergel posted a pic of Charlize Theron's 2019 'do for her Long
Shot premiere, he added,
There's no denying the power of a perfect pixie cut.
But, if you're going for something a little more daring, you might want to try a pixie
that incorporates more length on top and buzzed sides, like the style Katy Perry debuted in
2017.
"I saw Scarlett Johansson she had the same cut, and I was like dang, that's one of the
most beautiful women in the world, I could do that too and look maybe half as good!"
And if you want to kick this cut up another notch, you could even opt for an undercut
pixie, like Halsey.
While stylist Fletcher knows this look adds a pop of instant edge, you may be surprised
to learn that although these cuts are all kinds of bold, they're also versatile and
easy to style.
Rocked by trailblazing celebrities like Ruby Rose, Toth recommends lines and fades for
those clients who are ready to take the plunge, saying,
"I have to go to a barber is because the majority of hairdressers are not trained in how to
get that skin fade, get that lines."
Tahira Carter, whose cuts and fades are routinely featured on Instagram, advised women to look
for a barber, versus a stylist, telling StyleCaster,
"So, this is my end look.
This is my makeup and my hair."
After rocking a pixie cut for years, Refinery29 writer Kelly Dougher decided to take the plunge
and buzz her entire head.
She wrote,
And Cara Delevingne, who shaved her head for 2019's Life In A Year, agrees.
The actress-model told USA Today,
"It was so empowering.
Her with her bald head, she was that much more beautiful."
For those who want to give this look a shot, Toth cautioned that it does take a lot of
time and effort to do it right.
And if you're thinking you'll later grow it out into a short hairstyle, you should know
that process can take a lot of patience.
Or extensions.
