CHOP, CHOP A wave of models traded long layers

and lobs for pretty pixies this season. “It’s a power move,”

says hairstylist Teddi Cranford, who cuts hair for models

in New York City. “It’s great when you’re at a point in your

life where you’re feeling cool and confident—you want to

make a statement.” Eugene Souleiman styled faux crops at

XXL HAIR Afro curls, retro wigs, and disco-inspired

volume confirmed the motto for the season: Bigger is

absolutely better. At Michael Kors, stylist Orlando Pita created

mini waves with lots of body by wrapping hair in one-inch

sections around the arms of U-shaped hairpins, figure eight–

style. He clamped a flatiron over each pin to set the waves

before unraveling them and brushing out the hair. To make it

Thom Browne for a look he describes as “the gentlewoman.”

For a boyish yet polished effect, he created a deep side

part and blow-dried hair with a vented brush for lift at

the crown. To hide the hair’s length, he braided it down

the back. “A lot of women are wearing their hair shorter.

It’s very liberating and feels fresher,” Souleiman says.

modern, Pita kept the top of the hair flat. “Waves today don’t

start at the root,” he says. “That was more the feel in the ’70s.

This is something that can be worn now.” Stylist Gary Gill

opted for a crimped effect at 3.1 Phillip Lim. He divided dry

hair into eight sections and applied mousse before braiding

it tightly and briefly blow-drying it. He then used a flatiron

on the crown to seal in the style before brushing it all out.
