Chop Chop / Super Model Style Cut




The haircut of the year has arrived. Vogue is calling it the Chop, others have named it the Karlie, after American super model Karlie Kloss. Ms. Kloss, already a fashion world veteran at age 20, cut off about seven inches of her dark hair late last year. Vogue declared it the “cut of the moment” in a four-page feature story in the January issue, saying “the season’s new hair is swingy, sexy — and refreshingly easy to wear.”


The style was the brainchild of the New York hairstylist Garren Defazio. The length, at just below the jaw, wasn’t so short as to be “out of proportion,” Mr. Defazio said. It rests just above the shoulders, with some layering in the front, and is topped off with bangs. He is emphatic that it’s neither a bob nor a shag, but a one-length cut with a slight layer in the front. It’s a low maintenance look that sets off the face. “I cut it to encourage her natural wave,” Mr. Defazio said. “It’s long enough so she can gel it back, add extentions for a longer look and it’s modern because it’s airy and rumpled. As for Ms. Kloss’s feeling about the cut, Mr. Defazio said: “Karlie in love with the new look and can’t stop touching it.” She doesn’t have to blow it dry, just shampoo, put on lipstick and mascara, and she feels finished and modern.”
Versions of the style cut, with its length hovering somewhere between the chin and the shoulder, and with a few layers and fringe of bangs, has been spotted on models like Arizona Muse, Catherine McNeil, Karen Elson and Lily Kwong.
When Kate Moss cut her hair really short, everyone started cutting their hair,” Mr. Defazio said. “When somebody notable finds their look, it catches on and becomes a trend.” The Chop has inspired an array of reactions online. Some ask is “Karlie Chop Haircut: The Next ’Rachel’?” Is short hair styles back in style. What do think ???

LET’S SHAPE IT: To get the look, start with a off the shoulder length bob and versatile brow brushing bangs. This classic bob is the ideal length for adding extra length with "hair extensions" and suits most face shapes, especially those with facial features like Katy. With a few adjustments (trims), as it grows you can find the ideal length for your face shape and style.

LET’S STYLE IT: To put your style in motion start with a dab of your favorite styling mousse or spray gel for style support. Comb either through damp hair and give it a quick blow dry. To push the style bar up a notch, a few twists with a curling iron adds finger waves for a dressy look. Finish with a dab of hair polish and you’ve got Katy Perry’s chic look!

NOW, LET’S COLOR IT: Like a chameleon Katy loves playing with hair color having rocked every color of the rainbow on her head, including purple, blue, green, lavender, red and purple locks. To change her hair color Katy uses HAIR FLAIRS - COLOR RUB, a temporary hair color that adds vibrancy color without a commitment of permanent dyes. Hair Flair works like eye shadow and is available in ten different hair chalking shades making it fun to match your hair to your outfit. With Color Rub you can change your hair color instantly, whether you want vibrant tips, streaks or all over color, just rub it on and wash it out after.

Brave New World of Hair Color


The big story was at one time highlighting, that isn't really new anymore because foil highlights have been around for a long time. However we’ve come a long way from "streaking" hair where we put blonde color in everyone's hair from black to brown to red or mousey blonde.



Hair Coloring has evolved into a Living Art Form something quite different. Creative hair colorist’s now add splashes of color or color just the bottom part for a two tone effect and are using a full palette of up to six contrasting shades for a rainbow effect. You’re now only limited by your imagination and just how daring your clients are. It’s a brave exciting new world of color and the sky’s the limit; here are a few examples of hair art coloring effects showing up around the globe.
