Tiered Layers and Swooping Fringe
RACHEL MCADAMS'S STYLE: Mid-length strands bluntly layered at three stages: Cheekbones, chin, and collarbone.
WHAT MAKES IT COOL: "Rachel's cut is so gorgeous because of the way the long bangs frame her face," explains her hairstylist Andy LeCompte. "She has strong cheekbones, and the layers help soften them up."
WHO IT WORKS FOR: "Rachel has a slight curl to her hair, so it's great to blow this look out with a slight bend," says LeCompte. However, if you'd rather skip heated styling tools in the morning, this could work for you too. "These layers are very forgiving and look great air-dried."

Get Jennifer Lopez Super Side Swept Bangs
Jennifer Lopez is always so daring with that mane of hers — what do you think of her extreme bangs?
By far the hottest American Idol judge to date, Jennifer Lopez stepped out in Paris on June 15th with this totally unique spin on the classic side swept bang! J.Lo has been known to make many traditional hairstyles her own by giving them her power woman attitude. This latest look is a much fiercer take on the girl next door side swept bang, and it is so J.Lo.- First, you want to blowdry the hair. Depending on texture you can either use the ISO Hair Styling Foam for straighter or fine hair or Bain de Terre All Day Straight with a finishing serum on towel dried hair.
- As you dry you want to spray Pierre Michel Volumizing Spray on the roots for additional volume.
- The blow dry needs to be smooth with movement and the bangs need to be swept away from the face.
- After drying take big sections, wrapping them around the outside of a 1 inch curling iron for a more defined but not overdone wave.

how to get a layered cut
When layers are cut right, they give your style movement and versatility. Done badly, they can make your hair look wispy—or, worse, like you have two separate haircuts.
• Be honest. Explain to your stylist exactly what your routine is each morning. Some layers look good only if the hair is straight, and if that takes more work than you're willing to do, your stylist needs to know that.
• Start slowly. If clients are nervous, I introduce them to the concept by cutting just a few layers near the face. Remember: You can always add more, but once you get bad layers, you have to grow them out—or cut your hair shorter—to get rid of them.
• Go long. Short layers rarely look good and make hair look thin at the ends, but long ones are great on almost everyone.
• Blend in. You never want to see a distinct line of layers down the side of the face. Ask the stylist to avoid hard lines in the cut. If the layers look obvious once your hair is dry, ask him to soften the lines with thinning shears.

Summer Hair Color Survival Guide
Does your hair need a color reboot? We share the top new trends, DIY dye helpers, and hot-weather maintenance tips from the pros.
Women have been struggling with hair color for centuries: Gauls at the end of the Iron Age used limewater to bleach their locks a stark white (à la model Abbey Lee Kershaw); the ancient Greeks mixed potash water with yellow flowers to impart a golden sheen; and in early Rome, women masked grays with a mixture of ashes, boiled walnut shells, and earthworms. You'll find none of these remedies here!
TRENDS TO TRY NOW
SANDY BLONDE Nestled between brunette and blonde, "sandy blonde is a good transitional shade," says Manhattan-based colorist Marie Robinson. "And you don't have to worry about it getting too messed up with chlorine because it's darker, more forgiving."
FAINT PASTELS Both Ashley Olsen and Kelly Osbourne have dabbled in pastels before — baby-blue streaks and an allover lilac, respectively — but the new way to wear them is more understated. "Ask your colorist to add a slight pastel tint to the toner so it will give a blush to blonde hair," says Lena Ott of NYC's ION Studio.
RICH BRUNETTES This season's browns differentiate themselves with a spectrum of unexpected undertones — Robinson loves light browns with a complexion-flattering caramel reddish tone, while Ott favors cedar browns with hints of light-catching violet.
PLATINUM When it comes to visual impact, platinum is a winner. And that Jean Harlow-esque champagne has been updated for today. "Think Nordic blonde like Michelle Williams," says Victoria Hunter of Whittemore House Salon. "Blonde and bright, but really clean."
OMBRé Popular within every color family, ombré (which means "shadow" in French) is an effect where one color at the roots gradually transitions to another shade at the ends. Negin Zand of Sally Hershberger's L.A. salon reveals how to make it modern: "Add fine highlights at the root, then keep it thicker toward the bottom."

ENTRY-LEVEL COLOR Subtle hue changes that make a big impact
IF YOU'RE A BLONDE ...GO STRAWBERRY
Flirt with the idea of red, while still keeping it in the family. "Gloss a blonde with a reddish or strawberry tone," says Serge Normant Salon colorist Aura Friedman. "You can do that really golden coppery strawberry blonde, or a cooler, ginger version like Evan Rachel Wood."
IF YOU'RE A BRUNETTE ... ADD SUBTLE DIMENSION
Make your cocoa hue a bit hotter. "Liv Tyler is a great example," says Robinson. "She has a rich chocolate brown with subtle light chestnut shades throughout her hair, so it's not monochromatic and has reflection."
IF YOU'RE A REDHEAD ... CHANNEL CHRISTINA HENDRICKS
Television's favorite vixen has a red that packs a punch. "What's so beautiful about Christina's red is that it strikes the balance between blue-red and orange-copper, so it could fit a lot of skin tones," says Robinson.

SUMMER-PROOFING 101
Overexposure to water and sun can translate to major fading for colored hair during the summer months. Here, six tips to keep your color vibrant all season long:
USE PROTECTION. Create a barrier between hair and the elements by coating strands. "Wet your hair first, and then apply conditioner before taking a swim," says Ott. "This will act as a buffer so your hair won't absorb chlorine." Oils like Couture Color Pequi Oil Treatment ($32) will also do the trick.
CLEANSE CAREFULLY. Aveda's Color Conserve shampoo and conditioner ($15 each) are gentle on dyed strands, while Kérastase's new Chroma Sensitive Cleansing Balm ($42) is a sulfate-free, low-foam formula that helps fight fading. If you notice fade-out, try a color-depositing shampoo and conditioner.
TRY A GLOSS. "A gloss helps touch you up in between appointments and protects color," says Ott. "It will also extend the life of your color a bit."
ADD SHINE. A weekly hydrating mask is essential for colored hair. Bosley's Professional Strength Moisture Masque ($39), Marie Robinson's Colorist Cure ($75), and Bumble and Bumble's Creme de Coco Masque ($26) all restore shine and quench dry, brittle strands.
COOL IT DOWN. "When you're taking a shower, just do one quick shock of cool water at the end to really keep in color and shine," says Friedman.
PREVENT BUILDUP. Chlorine, salt, and products can quickly wear out their welcome on your scalp. "A clarifying shampoo is essential during the summer," says Hunter. "But only use it when you really notice buildup [probably once a month] because it not only draws out the bad stuff, it takes out color as well."

BEFORE YOU COLOR
1. "Always start in the back when coloring at home because that's where hair is naturally darker. The hair around your face is finer and more porous, which means that it's going to grab color quicker, and that will give you that wiggy, inky look."
2. "Keep your sections clean and separate so there's no overlap — otherwise, those areas will become darker. If you feel like you need to go over sections, it's best just to do it for the last three to five minutes on the ends."
3. "Make sure hair is in good condition before you color. The more porous hair is, the more it absorbs dye, resulting in inconsistent color."

DIY TRICKS
Some of the best remedies for your hair color problems are hiding in your kitchen.
KETCHUP "If you're swimming in chlorine too much and your hair — any shade — turns green, try using ketchup all over your strands to neutralize the green. Warning: Very pale blondes may turn a little beige." — Marie Robinson
APPLE CIDER VINEGAR "Once a week, do a rinse with a capful of apple cider vinegar mixed with three cups of warm water to seal in color." — Aura Friedman
VODKA "Shampoo, then mix a half-cup of vodka with four cups of hot water and pour it over your hair, avoiding your eyes. This will help remove chlorine and mineral deposits. Plus, it also helps get rid of henna." — A.F.
DISH SOAP "Get rid of chlorine buildup by mixing dish soap with baking soda to create a paste, then put it on the ends, which is usually where you get most of that green discoloration. Make sure to use a good conditioner afterward because this treatment leaves hair squeaky clean." — Zoe Wiepert
COCONUT OIL "Salt water, like the sun, can brighten hair and also break it down and make it drier. Once a week, put coconut oil all over hair and sleep on it." — Z.W.
EGGS, OLIVE OIL, VINEGAR "Mix raw eggs, olive oil, and vinegar into a hair mask, and keep it on for 30 minutes to help color shine." — Z.W.
CHAMOMILE TEA, HONEY "Brew a pot of chamomile tea with a few drops of lavender oil, then add three tablespoons of honey and let it cool to a lukewarm temperature. Pour it over your hair and leave in for five minutes. The chamomile gives blondes a nice golden tone, while the honey makes hair super-shiny and the lavender oil soothes the scalp."

Christina Hendricks' Red Hair Inspired by 'Anne of Green Gables'
(Getty Images)
Christina HendricksChristina Hendricks is known for her curves and her flame red hair. She's even the one who famously inspired model Karen Elson to dye her hair the exact same shade as the Mad Men star's. But who inspired Christina to dye her naturally blond locks a ravishing crimson? She tells Elle:
I started playing with red hair when I was 10 years old. I recognize how odd it is now, but my mom let me do it. I was obsessed with Anne of Green Gables and Ginger of Gilligan’s Island, and lusted for that red hair. My mom said, 'Well, let’s throw a rinse on it,' and the next day, my teachers asked what had happened when I arrived at school with red hair.

nuevo corte de pelo
Los estilos de pelo cortos varían en tamaño y formas. Se pueden distinguir tres estilos dependiendo del largo del pelo. Tenemos súper corto, a la altura de la oreja y a la altura de la barbilla. Estos cortes son flexibles y con algunos detalles extras de color o puntas puedes obtener el estilo que más te guste.
Si lo que te provoca es tenerlo súper corto, tienes que estar bien segura antes de ir a la peluquería. Un consejo es llevar todo tu pelo hacia atrás e imaginar como lucirías. Normalmente rostros ovalados pueden llevar cualquier estilo muy bien, sin embargo si tu rostro es demasiado largo, ancho o redondo, deberías optar por un corte un poco más largo. Un cabello súper corto es muy conveniente, sobre todo si no te alcanza el tiempo por las mañanas. Aunque no es un corte muy común, con unas capas le puedes dar volumen. También puedes optar por un cerquillo para darle un toque especial al corte.
El corte a la altura de la oreja también se puede llevar con cerquillo, más largo a los costados y con capas. Este estilo puede ser modificado dependiendo de la forma de tu rostro, pero si tu mandíbula es prominente, este modelo la enfatizará. Además este corte es la base para numerosos estilos, por ejemplo puedes optar por unas mechas más cortas para agregar volumen, también unas mechas con color hacen maravillas y con una plancha de pelo le darás un look más estilizado. Ideal para los estilos tipo hongo.
El corte hasta la mandíbula es ideal para cualquier rostro, aunque el estilista te puede aconsejar para darte características especiales dependiendo de la forma de tu cara. Para este corte existen muchas variaciones y técnicas de corte. El cerquillo puede ser hacia adelante y corto, hacia el costado, levantado. Los estilos son interminables!
Definitivamente cortase el pelo largo es un paso muy grande, por eso algunos salones de belleza cuentan con un software capaz de proveer muestras previas de lo que será tu nuevo look. Cuidar tu cabello debe ser una prioridad para ti. Huméctalo una vez por semana y manténlo alejado del calor.
