Cool Hairstyles For Shoulder Length Hair On Girls
Just call it "The Chop." It's that perfect hair length that doesn't fall too long or hangs too short. It's the to-the-shoulders cut you get when you're sick of long hair but you're not ready to commit to a bob or Alexa Chung's signature mussy shag.
The Chop has become a hot hairstyle among women over 30. Lauren Santo Domingo, pictured here, reportedly cut off her super-long blonde locks after her wedding, when someone mentioned that all the New York girls have the same long hair.
According to writer Plum Sykes, Santo Domingo, former Vogue editor and founder of the world's most expensive online shopping site, Moda Operandi went to New York stylist Valery Joseph and asked him to cut off the unhealthy parts of her hair. The result, she told Sykes, was "this new weird length. I was immediately obsessed. I love it. I wish I had done it before.”
Many, many models and actresses have since followed suit, including Gwyneth Paltrow, Gisele Bündchen, Helena Christensen and Ellen Pompeo.
The key to the perfect shoulder length cut lies, simply, in the length. It can't be too long or too short and looks best when it just hits at the collarbone or a bit above.
“The finish should appear blunt but should never be blunt, as blunt looks cheap,” explains stylist Harry Josh in Vogue. “You texturize the ends with maybe a feather razor so the line appears clean, but there is actually a lot of movement in it. Too much of a block, and it looks heavy.”
If you get it right, your hair will be swingy, yet still sexy. Long enough to attract men, but edgy enough that you'll stand out among a sea of long-haired women.
This look has been hot since 2008 but still remains popular. The question is, how long can "The Chop" last before it hits it's past-fresh date? Santo Domingo, for one, has expressed her concerns to Sykes.
