Emma Watson takes a short cut

With the filming of the last Harry Potter instalment well and truly behind her, it looks as though Emma Watson has marked the beginning of the next chapter in her life with a very short (and very chic) new haircut!

She confirmed her new look on her Facebook and Twitter accounts, telling fans that her hair "Feels incredible. I love it," and posting this beautiful portrait.

She's not the first Hollywood star to have gone short this year: Hayden Panettiere, Cate Blanchett, and Renee Zellweger have all opted for boy-short locks.

With Emma's reputation as a fashion icon - and her legion of fans from her ten-year spell as Hermione Granger - there's no doubt that there will be plenty of women around the world who adopt this hairstyle in the weeks to come.

Before making any major changes like Emma has, it's always worth considering very carefully why you want to go short, and whether or not it will suit your face and your current lifestyle. Emma certainly did: she wrote on her Facebook wall that she'd wanted to make this change for a long time, and finally got the chance to at the end of her Harry Potter journey.

"Ive wanted to do this for years and years," Watson told fans earlier this week. "Its the most liberating thing ever."

Jazz Up your Hair with a Short Layered Hairstyle

side of short red haircut

No one can argue that short hair is easier to maintain than long hair. It takes less time to wash, dry, and brush.  It is less likely to show damage because it gets trimmed every couple of months. However, a short hairstyle with no body will look flat and lifeless.

It can even run the risk of making you look somewhat masculine. That is why you should take the plunge and mix things up a bit with a short layered hairstyle.

A short layered hairstyle can bring life back to any hair type. If you hair is thin, layers can create the illusion of thickness. Conversely, if you hair is too thick, layers will lighten it up a bit.

A short layered hairstyle can even help to make curly hair more manageable. Because there are more styling opportunities with layers, you should be able to make your short layered hairstyle accommodate any face shape.

The only high maintenance part of a short layered hairstyle is that you need to have it done by a professional, and you should probably go back to the salon at least every two months for a trim.

Professional hairstylists are able to seamlessly layer your hair so that you have shorter layers in the back and longer layers near the front.  This combination has proven to be the most flattering as well as the easiest to style.

When you go to style your short layered hairstyle, you’ll need a blow dryer, a brush, and some product such as mousse or gel.  Shower, and then while your hair is still damp, lightly run product over all your hair.

Blow dry and brush to give your layers body and finally use a light misting of hairspray to keep everything in place.  Even if you want a funkier layered look, all you have to do is add some wax once your hair is dry and arrange your locks with your fingers.


If you enjoy the ease of short hair, consider giving your style more body and versatility with a short layered hairstyle.

Hairstyle Tips For Young Professional Women

How should a professional woman style her hair? There is no single accurate answer for this question. Beyond individual preferences, the appropriate hairstyle depends on many factors, most importantly, the nature of her job. The job description of her chosen profession has a great influence on the way a woman should style her hair.

But other factors also come into play, such as her other social roles and her personal goals. Sometimes, these factors have conflicting demands on her. For example, a woman might be an event planner who may need a glamorous long hairstyle, but she is also a new mom whose baby likes to grab her hair.

Choosing the right hairstyle is achieving a compromise for all conflicting factors and still having a confident-boosting outward appearance. The following tips will be useful in helping you choose the appropriate professional hairstyle.

Tip #1: Redefine your job description

To be successful in her career and still be fashion-savvy, a woman must examine her job description from the point of view of hairstylists. Regardless of a woman’s profession, her hairstyle should help her appear more attractive. Unfortunately, some women may not see the need for styling her hair or that her job forces her to be stuck in an unattractive hairstyle.

For example, a woman who works in a laboratory will be wearing a bulky lab coat, along with gloves and goggles, and sometimes, with earmuffs and a gas mask. Her job description demands that she keeps her hair out of the way. Thus, she has her hair pulled back in a severe bun.

What if her laboratory research finally yields results that are worthy of media attention? She couldn’t emerge from her laboratory looking like an overworked scientist who talked to beakers. Instead, her hairstylist would suggest a short stylish hairstyle, perhaps a chic bob.

Her hair will still be out of the way while she pours slimy sludge into a flask, but when she removes the coat, the goggles, and the mask, she would look like a confident celebrity stepping out of a fashion magazine. Simply put, you may think like Einstein, but you don’t have to look like him.

Tip #2: Don’t forget the basics

Now that you know that you need not be trapped by the stereotypes and preconceptions that are linked to your profession, you will find a wide a variety of hairstyles that you are tempted to try. This is when your Einstein-like thinking is needed. Not all these hairstyles will look good on you. You need to remember all laws, both scientific and aesthetic.

When it comes to hairstyles, the ones that will show off your best features will be those that are appropriate for the shape of your face. For example, an oblong shape face could not get away with extremely long hair, and the square shape face could not benefit from a cropped bob.

The aesthetics law that hairstylists faithfully adhere to is to have hairstyles that create illusions. For example, a medium-length layered hairstyle will create an illusion of length and narrowness for women who have round face shapes.

Tip #3: Strive for an ageless style

Another factor to weigh in choosing hairstyles is your age. This does not mean that you need a hairstyle that reflects the fad of the year you were born. It means that your hairstyle must accede, to some degree, to the social expectations of your age.

For example, when you are in your forties, do not be tempted to have green highlights or asymmetrical cuts. If you really wanted highlights, choose the more subtle colors. And if you really wanted to copy Victoria Beckham’s chic bob, compromise with a longer length or a less radical angle.

Does this mean that older women have a more limited of selection of hairstyle? On the contrary, older women have more freedom with hairstyles. When you’re in your forties, you can actually get away with a lot of things. But you must remember to appear more elegant rather than stylish, and to appear shrewd rather than obtuse.

If you are in your twenties, you can still copy a lot of the trendier hairstyles, even those that are considered extremes. But you must still consider the nature of your job. For example, if you are in the insurance business, you want your hairstyle to encourage your clients to have confidence in your professional abilities. That is, you don’t want your clients to think that you are too young for your job.

The Pixie Haircut from Hollywood

The pixie haircut made its mark back in the 50’s in Hollywood on Mia Farrow (Rosemary’s Baby) and Audrey Hepburn (Wait until Dark.) They made such a hit of the pixie haircut that virtually all Mother’s of that era ran their little girls to the beauty salon (sometimes to the barber shop) to get their little darlin’s the easiest maintenance cut of the summer!

“Pixie Haircut is Back”I’ve spoken with literally hundreds of women who, back in the 50’s, were forced into wearing the pixie haircut, my two sisters and I included. Most of us went kicking and screaming into the hair salons, knowing it was going to be yet another summer we were going to look like boys!

On top of that, most families had an at home ‘barber kit’ which was used to ‘keep up’ the pixie haircut for months to come. Yikes! Need I say more?  At least there were lots of funny looking kids running the neighborhoods with short, crooked bangs (not the asymmetrical type we may covet today) so you never felt alone in your misery!

Fast forward to today’s pixie haircut...cute as a bug now and still the simplest haircut to deal with in the hot summer months!  Pixie haircuts look best on women with oval and heart face shapes and nice bone structure.

This short pixie haircut also looks best on small or petite women and will be especially flattering and accentuate pretty eyes!

By the way, a good thing to note; a ‘pixie haircut’ and a ‘crop haircut’ are terms being used pretty much anonymously today, but I suggest you bring in a picture to be sure you and your hair stylist are on the same page before snipping away. Some hair stylists call Rihanna's do a pixie haircut, some call it a ‘crop haircut,’ but it’s not the same as the pixie haircut of say Pink’s cut below!  Get the idea?

Looks like Jessica slightly darkened her hair, making it one shade deeper brunette. Love the pixie haircut with long and short textured layers. It not only updates her look, but is much more flattering and brings out her great bone structure.

Michelle William’s pixie haircut

Michelle William’s long layered pixie haircut is a more sophisticated and modern look for her. The shorter haircut also makes her hair appear fuller with more body.


I know this isn't Katie’s do now, but I actually like this pixie haircut she wore in 08’ better than her current haircut...adorable!

Janet took the plunge into a pixie haircut recently...that was lots of hair cut off!
