The hottest cutting and styling trends for 2012 will be…
I’m seeing a lot of short hair, short bangs and a punky look, but having an edge to it—not feathered, not wispy—blunt. For styling it’s going to be closer to the head. Look for a smaller silhouette. It’s played-down hair—you spend a lot of time cutting the hair and not a lot of time styling.
I’m inspired by…
I’m obsessed with old movies, especially ‘70s movies. Right now, I like Gorky Park. It’s an American movie from the ‘80s set in Moscow in ‘the 60s. The Eyes of Laura Mars is an incredible inspiration. The hair is pretty full on.
My must-have technique…
For cutting, it’s a messy blunt cut. For the hair that I’m doing right now, I’m not changing the natural texture of the hair. The Hair.Resort.Spray makes it more sort of matte, not curly and not straight. Using texturizer makes the hair look like it should.
