tousled texture
Channel your inner supermodel and show off a bangin’ profile that’s worthy of the runway! A longer fringe beautifully complements layered lengths, which have been styled with a flat iron for a look of undone elegance. Gentle teasing with a small comb provides plenty of crown volume for a pretty finish.

celebrity style
JESSIE J has us hooked on her dance tunes and upbeat sound, but the singer’s flirty fringe is what’s really grabbing the attention of mane lovers everywhere! Wearing a chic bob, Jessie opts for a lash-kissing, blunt-cut fringe that draws us into her gorgeous gaze. Styled very sleek, the rest of her hair looks amazing thanks to round-brushing with a blow-dryer and finishing off the look with a few passes of a flat iron to curve edges under for a symmetrical finish.

How do i make my hair longer?
Hi Maddie,
While there are quite a few products out there designed to promote healthy hair growth, the actual growth of your hair requires more than product. You need to keep it clean, healthy and trimmed on a regular basis. Diet also affects hair growth so be sure to drink plenty of water and eat healthy.
I need to know how should i tell my hairstylist that i want a haircut like Katy Perry’s black hair on the video the one that got away??
Hi Kelly,
A picture is worth a thousand words. Katy Perry’s sporting long hair with shaggy layers in that music video. If you take a look at the current issue of Sophisticate’s, you’ll find a short version of the cut on NCIS: Los Angeles star Renée Felice Smith! Pick up the March issue and take it to your stylist. Show the pro the photo of Renée and ask for that style on long hair. However, make sure you explain exactly what you want before the hairstylist works her magic!

Hi, Amanda!
We think you’ll find plenty of style inspiration in our special 33rd Anniversary issue—on stands now! Take a look at the feature “How To Get Great Looking Hair” for some tips and tricks from pros like Thomas Dunkin (stylist to Demi Moore and Claire Danes) and Wendy Iles (stylist to Eva Longoria and Salma Hayek)!
I have medium length bangs (reaching the tip of my nose) but have a high forehead. What is the best way for me to wear my bangs? I need a new look.
Hi, Melanie!
Check out the August 2011 issue (the one with Katy Perry on the cover!). There are a lot of styles featuring all types of bangs—sideswept, blunt-cut, wispy. We think you’ll find great style inspiration in the magazine!
Hi, i have an oval shaped face and thick wavy brown hair. I’ve finally convinced my mom to let me get bangs but im not sure which “style” to choose. Any Advice?
Hi, Storey!
Check out the latest issue of Sophisticate’s (which features hundreds of styles!) and page through to find a few looks you like. Those with an oval-shaped face can wear pretty much any style like full-on fringe, sweeping side bangs and blunt-cut wisps. You’ll see them all in Sophisticate’s. Keep in mind, the key to wearing your best bangs is to keep them proportionate to the length of your haircut.
I have short bangs. I want to get them out of my face. Can you give me ideas on how to make them look cool when they are up?
Hi, Kendra!
How short are your bangs? If you have enough length, try pinning them back with a couple of bobby pins or wearing a chic headband. The trick is that accessories can hold your hair in place and look fashionable at the same time!
