What do you think of when you hear bowl-shaped cuts? Do you think of the Beatles back when they first started as those loveable rag tag mop-tops with their bowl cuts? Maybe you think about Moe of the three stooges and his hilarious antics? Or, do you think about 1980′s throwbacks and retro parties to bands like Hadaway and Run DMC? What if I was to tell you that bowl-shaped cuts are hitting the red carpet on stars and fashion moguls like Lady Gaga, Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, or even Saleisha on America’s Top model? Well, it’s true! Move over boys, the girls are taking bowl-shaped cuts back and we’re going Hollywood!

What’s the deal with bowl-shaped cuts? Well, it’s easiest to explain them like this: take a cute little bob. Now, smooth the bangs out so they blend right into the hair with seamless grace. Bam! There’s a bowl-shaped cut! Bowl-shaped cuts have all the ease of care of a bob without the worry of the bangs being too chunky. They are sleek, easy to wear, low maintenance and quickly falling back into fashion for ladies on the go! Bowl-shaped cuts work great with all hair colors and are especially great for setting off the soft curves of women with rounded faces. Many bowl-shaped cuts grow out nicely as well, so if you are new to the whole short hair thing and are worried about how tacky it will look when it grows back out if you don’t like it, bowl-shaped cuts are a wonderful middle ground to let you try a short style without all the worries.

So, ladies, step right up and give bowl-shaped cuts a try. Let’s show the boys how it’s done!

BEYONCE’s  SIMPLE, FLATTERING HAIRSTYLES

The girl next door has great sex appeal in movies and in real life too! Beyonce has a great talent for keeping her makeup neutral and her hair color very natural. Sure she brings out some natural looking highlights and lowlights, but there aren’t any streaks of blonde to shock us. And there isn’t any thick make up on her face to detract us from her natural, classic beauty.

Beyonce – Elegant Yet Simple Ponytail Hairdo

Keeping it simple is often the best way to flatter your natural good looks. There isn’t any need to try to shock people with the “artist trapped inside” that so many celebrities try to put forth as their true image. Look at Lady Gaga and you will see the exact opposite of Beyonce’s approach to showing her personality as an artist. Lady Gaga claims that she just dresses in wild outfits and she isn’t acting out for the public, but the reality is that she is covering up and sacrificing what is probably a very beautiful face for this theatrical image and effect.

And some people like the over-the-top artists out there, but you have to admire the artist who changes her style very little and repeatedly graces the covers of so many magazines throughout the years of her career. If you are ready to try to accentuate your natural beauty like Beyonce, then it isn’t hard. Wash your hair and get a brush. Brush out your hair and dry it with your blow dryer as you add a little hair spray and shine. Then just run your fingers through your hair and shape it the way you want it to look.
