SPRING TREND-SHORT CROPPED BOB

 Springs Hottest Trend-Short Cropped Bob!

This has Spring written all over it!  This was first spotted at the movie premiere of "Just Go With It" by JENNIFER ANNISTON!  No matter what your face shape this is a style that can be adjusted for YOU!  If you have a long face make sure you tell your hairstylist to break that up by giving you some cheek and lip length surface layers around your face.  It's already gread for heart shaped & square faces.  Switching the part from the middle to the side can also change this style for different face shapes.

This cut is pretty simple.  The underneath is cut pretty blunt and straight across.  It's the hair that lays over the bottom that needs to be texturized and broken up yet still giving the illusion of a bob.  NOBODY wants triangle head where all the fullness at the bottom.  Keep your fullness more thru the middle of this haircut by keeping the ends more shattered on the surface.  Have fun with      the  haircolor also.  Deeper shades on the underneath will keep this bob looking nice and solid with the lighter tones on top will show off those awesome surface layers.  This particular client cut almost 9 inches (just shy of the Locks of Love requirement) and walked away looking so feminine and ready for Spring.  Top off this style with one of my favorite products....Texture Twist by Pureology.  It will really help this style that piecey seperation on the ends.  Be Brave, Have Fun &Heeellllooooo Spring!  Yay!!

LOCKS OF LOVE - DONATE YOUR HAIR!

Before
After
LOCKS OF LOVE.... WHO ARE THEY!
A public non-profit organization that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children in the United States and Canada under age 21 suffering from long-term medical hair loss from any diagnosis. They use donated hair to create the highest quality hair prosthetics. Most of the children helped by Locks of Love have lost their hair due to a medical condition called alopecia areata, which has no known cause or cure. The prostheses provided help restore their self-esteem and their confidence, enabling them to face the world and their peers.

Just want to take a moment to THANK this special girl for donating almost 11 inches of her hair to Locks of Love.  This was her SECOND time to do this.  That's Incredible.  There is a great need for your hair if you are cutting a minimum of 10 inches at your next haircut.  Please check out Locks of Love and make a difference in a child/person's life.
