Short Cut

This spring, the hot trend for hair is short, as in a short, angled bob that's cut slightly longer in front than in back. Think Katie Holmes, Posh Spice or Paris Hilton. Don't want to conjure up their images, you say? Well, think about this. It's a flattering cut that works well for both straight and curly hair. It's also sleek and easy to style, shaving precious minutes off your morning routine.

The bob is a timeless look that's also very fresh and versatile. Tuck it behind one ear for a sweeping, sultry look, wear a cute clip while playing with the kids or don a thin headband to keep your hair under wraps. This is a great cut to try right now, and looks saucy under a hat. Plus, if you go short now, your hair will have a chance to grow a bit longer by summer, when you'll want to pull it back (think 90 degree days on the beach). And sometimes just cropping your hair a few inches can seemingly shave pounds off your appearance - we can all use that this time of year!
