Bold Crop

THE CUT

Change your style with this versatile short cut, which can go from tousled to straight, depending on the day. Wear it up, down, side parted, it’s all up to you. It features longer layers on top and in front, adding texture and framing the face, with shorter, defined sides.

Shorter haircuts tend to best on oval or square facial shapes. The hair is typically pulled away from the cheek area, which makes that area the focal point. And ideally shorter hair works best on straight or slightly textured hair, with a bit of wave or curl. Keep in mind, if your hair is too thin, it may not support the cut and look too limp.

While shorter haircuts are fun to style, but they do require a higher level of maintenance and commitment to more frequent haircuts. They tend to lose their shape within 4 weeks or so. But keep your haircut schedule, and you’ll love this versatile short look.

THE STYLING

Use a small amount of DESIGNLINE Volumizing Gel on damp hair, combing product from scalp to ends. Blow dry, and once hair is dry, apply DESIGNLINE Mineral Salt Texture Paste to piece out sections.
