A Little More

If a modern bob sounds too simple and you want something with a little more personality, try this cut with more interior layers. This option works best for people with thick or naturally curly hair, a la Jennifer Hudson at the 2008 Grammys. 

That is the picture that Sabrina brought. Sabrina's hair is dense but soft with small loose curls. When she came in it was all one length and just to her shoulders. Sabrina had been growing out a previous short cut, and now that she had some length, she was ready for some style. Keeping in mind that she liked her length, I didn't touch the perimeter. Instead I focused on creating square layers throughout the interior while remembering to maintain the natural curl. The result was bold, piece-y layered bob that Sabrina can flatiron, blow-out, or wear 'au-natural'.

Cut It Off!

Tired of the cold weather and dark days? What better way to shake off that winter slump that to try a new look? Even a few inches can make a big change. Cutting your hair up above your shoulders can open up your face and give you a contemporary new look for spring. 

The trend this spring is a lightly graduated mob (modern-bob). It starts as a traditional one length bob, then long layers and fringe can be added depending on your desired look. For a soft classic look wear this style with a side part anda long bang, and opt for connected smooth long layers. For a fun dramatic look try an a-line perimeter (longer in the front) or piecier layers. Keeping the layers long enables you to wear this style straight or with large curls or waves. Check out these celebs who took the cut: Eva Longoria Parker, Reese Witherspoon,  Heidi Klum, Hayden Panettiere, and Ginnifer Goodwin.
