Pretty ballerina buns were everywhere on the fall runways—just in time to coincide with the launch of Van Cleef & Arpels's Ballet Précieux collection, pretty hair jewels celebrating the ballet and legendary choreographer George Balanchine.

Making The Cut See Layered Bob Hair - Check out Layered Bob Haircuts

See Layered Bob Hair - Check out Layered Bob Haircuts - The perfect fall 'do for your face shape and hair texture


FABULOUS FRINGE

A chic set of thick bangs can give your face instant definition, and can also make you look far more sophisticated than the wispy ones of your youth. "This works best for straight hair, with a normal to thick texture," says Tommy Buckett of Sally Hershberger Downtown salon. "The bangs are the highest maintenance part—you'll need to get them trimmed every three to four weeks." As for the perfect face shape, Buckett says this look is for ladies with oval and heart shaped faces.

"Apply a serum for shine and to give it a glassy look," Buckett says. "Then flatiron the ends to really smooth it out."

THE LAYERED LOOK

Face-framing layers are softer and more complex than they were a few seasons ago. "This is a great cut for someone who has weighty hair and wants to put some texture in it without making it too heavy," says Fabrice Gili of Frédéric Fekkai Soho. "You should use a razor on the top of the hair, but you definitely don't want to overtexturize it and make it a shag." Gili also recommends keeping the color simple—tone on tone—so as not to create too much contrast with both the texture and the color.

To get a piecey, messy look that's just short of sloppy, work in a texturizer from root to end.

NATURAL WOMAN

"This cut actually works on any coarse hair type, and is very easy to maintain," Buckett says. "It's great on a heart shaped face and it just needs to be shaped up every six weeks." It's also an easy option for a girl who doesn't have much time on her hands—just wake up, wash, and go.

Buckett recommends a serum to help boost shine.

THE MUSHROOM BOB

"This is my favorite cut!" says Edward Tricomi of the Warren Tricomi salon. "It works best on hair types that are medium to light weight because the hair has that tendency to naturally fall into place. Ask your stylist for a layered bob with smooth, soft pieces—nothing sharp or jagged. It's very 20s, very Chanel!" Tricomi also says that since its an androgynous sort of haircut, it works best on a tall, lanky girl with very feminine accessories.

Tricomi suggests blowing the hair out straight and using a blow-dry lotion or a hair polish to help smooth out any flyaways and frizzy ends.

ASYMMETRICAL SHAG

"I love the idea of short hair right now," says Fabrice Gili of Fekkai. "But you have to be careful with this haircut to not go too crazy with the razor, to respect the flow of the cut. The length should come close to your lips, and not be too choppy or over-layered."

Gili recommends Fekkai's Coiff Magnifique to help sculpt this very textured look. "It will give the hair texture without making it look greasy," he says.

WILD CURLS

"This is a cut for everyone's inner Earth Mama," Tricomi says. "To achieve this style, you should have long layers placed in your hair with abstract pieces to enhance the natural flow and tame the curly hair so it falls into place." It's obviously only for girls with tight, natural curls, though it will look right on any face shape.

"It's important to choose the correct product with this style because you don't want anything that's going to weigh it down," Tricomi says. "You want to create the desired amount of volume and keep frizz at bay."

THE BLUNT BOB

"This is best for fine to medium textured hair, straight of course," says Evelyn Caldron, senior stylist at Butterfly Studio. "And you need to have constant bang trims to maintain it." Ask your stylist to give you a perfectly straight hairline, no layers or curling under necessary.

To get the look, work a flat iron through your hair and spritz it with a spray gloss.

THE PIXIE

Nobody wears the pixie better than Agyness Deyn, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't try. "You have to have a great shaped face for this," Tommy Buckett says. "You can do it with any hair texture except for curly, and you'll need a maintenance cut about every six weeks." You also can't be afraid to show off your face and neck—they'll both be on constant display, so keep that in mind.

Use a shaping paste to help give the short pieces in the front some texture.

THE LAYERED BOB

"This cut is good for a fine to medium hair texture," Evelyn Caldron says. "It requires a bit more styling than some of the other cuts, because it has more layers." She also recommends it for round or oval faces—ask your stylist for gently gradated layers right around the ears and chin area.

Add a styling cream around the layers to give them definition.

ALL ONE LENGTH


According to Buckett, this cut should only be attempted on very straight hair, of fine to normal texture. "But anyone can pull that off," he says. The blunt ends will need fairly frequent trimming to keep their very angular shape.

"Put a bit of Kérastase Lait Nutrisculpt in to give the hair shine and help control flyaways," he says.

Brazilian Hair Straightening Explained

Brazilian Hair Straightening Explained - A sleek straightening treatment arrives in stateside salons

Girls with unruly curls, rejoice: a new straightening system from Brazil is arriving in stateside salons, ready to tame even the worst-behaved manes. The process, called "escova progressiva" (progressive blowdry) heat-seals the hair cuticle with keratin, a protein similar to those naturally occurring in human hair. "Everybody has been amazed at the results," said Mark Garrison, whose New York salon has been offering the treatment for about a month. "It's topical, so it's not a chemical alteration to the hair. And it really wipes out the frizz." Unlike Japanese thermal straightening, which Garrison said is basically a perm in reverse, the Brazilian keratin system causes minimal damage to the hair. Applications cost between 0 and 0, and last anywhere from two to four months, depending on the hair type. Visit braziliankeratin.com to find out more about the treatment and locate a salon.

New Radicals Examines New Fashion Models for Edgy Trends

New Radicals Examines New Fashion Models for Edgy Trends - Make way for clever cuts and fearlessly fake hues edgy beauty is back



Marcio MadeiraIt's long past midnight in the City of Light, and the subterranean nightclub Le Paris Paris is looking very, well, Le London London. The roving party BoomBox—a sweaty, smoky, sardine-packed exercise in sartorial one-upsmanship and the current toast of British nightlife—is in town for a one-night-only Fashion Week appearance. The place is wall-to-wall angel wings, Day-Glo slogan tees, marionette ruffles, and glittery disco frocks. Makeup is maximal and, uh, vaguely fauvist; hairstyles are best described as conceptual. At the center of it all is one irrepressibly kooky, beautiful girl: It Model Agyness Deyn. Fashion's latest obsession is wearing a let's play naked twister linda evangelista T-shirt. Deyn has a Mickey Mouse mask perched cockeyed atop her head, and her lipstick looks like it might have been mixed by Crayola. But one signature in particular is making this Deyn's moment: her gamine, pearly-blond haircut.

In an era in which the existence of the supermodel—those distinct, individual personas who were so much more than beautiful-but-blank canvases—is endlessly debated, a short cut is fast becoming the quickest way for a would-be Deyn to make her mark. Relative unknowns Marta Berzkalna and Sarra Jane leapt onto the fall catwalks with the help of edgy, interesting locks; elfin 19-year-old Cecilia Mendez catapulted herself to unlikely semistardom with a don't-try-this-at-home, Francis of Assisi-esque bowl cut. At Bumble and bumble's salon in NYC's Meatpacking District, stylist Michelle Fiona transformed up-and-comer Barbara Berger's waist-length hair into a "skate flap" (long, sideswept bangs with a razored under-layer, reminiscent of skate rat Tony Hawk circa 1989) at the behest of her Ford agent. "The minute we started undercutting, you saw all her angles—her cheekbones, her jaw," Fiona says. "With some girls, you get that moment of hair shock—`what was I thinking?' But Barbara was just, `Go for it.' "

Where models and nightcrawlers go, designers inevitably follow. In Paris, Lanvin's show saw models sporting deliberately choppy, raven-black wigs looking for all the world like deranged love children of the Cure's Robert Smith and flapper icon Louise Brooks. And when Marc Jacobs' show (never known for its punctu-ality) started an extra hour behind schedule, rumor had it the delay was due to the time it took to dye a smattering of heads siren-red, black, and, most outstandingly, electric blue.

Bolder and braver than we've seen in years, the new look flirts with notions of gender identity and sexuality—two qualities that can be rather fluid in the modeling industry, but that most actresses can't afford to toy with. So, though a handful of starlets have been snipping away (Michelle Williams, for example, lopped off her long waves à la Mia Farrow; R&B diva Rihanna upped her fashion quotient considerably with a razor-sharp bob), hair's new wave is especially refreshing because, unlike most beauty trends in recent years, it's not another Hollywood dissemination.
