Cue the wind machine! A rocker chick like you looks photo-ready wearing a cool crop with a little bed-head flair. Blow-dry hair with a round brush, coaxing bangs to one side, and finish with a flat iron. For an extra dose of sexy, tousle hair with your fingers to shake up your style.

Just because you’re a career woman it doesn’t mean you can’t look like a super model. Take your short style to the next level by pumping up the volume and opting for a white-hot hue. Petite layers frame the face and lengths are curved under with a flat iron to enhance the shape of the cut.

Vamp it up and create touchable textures using a combination of blow-drying, round-brushing and flat-ironing your cool crop. Enhance piecey layers by placing a dime-size amount of pomade in your hands, rubbing them together and working the product throughout your hair for a rock star vibe.

Abbreviated lengths look extra stylish thanks to a few flips of the flat iron and creative brushing. Start by flat-ironing lengths straight, bending the flat iron slightly at the crown to enhance light layers. Brush lush fringe to one side to create a sexy, seductive veil across the forehead.

    Can I get a medium shag haircut if I have wavy hair?

  2. Alicia Burns says:

    I used to be a short haired person but not anymore. My father used to cut my hair all the time but he will not stop cutting my hair for good. So for now that he has passed, I,m glad that my father will be noticed.

    • nicole says:

      My dad used to trim my hair too, so I grew it long. However a few weeks ago I had it cut witch is possibly the best decision of my life haha

  3. Hope says:

    Hi, I was looking at your newest magazine at Wallgreens, but I couldn’t afford it, and I am interested in the style “Lustrous Allure” and I can’t find any other pictures of it anywhere! please help!

    • Bonnie L. Krueger, Editor-in-Chief says:

      Hi Hope:

      We can’t do giveaways on our material since talent is paid for their work–which I’m sure you understand.

      Hopefully you’ll be able to afford–we might be bias, but we feel we pack our magazines, not with tons of ads…but with lots of content!
