Shaved is the new short and everybody is at it. Kristen Stewart might have made it newsworthy but buzzcuts have been on a roll for a while now and show no signs of going anywhere. Before K-stew hit the clippers, model Adwoa Aboah made haircut headlines with her own version of a ‘number one.’ And it’s not just girls getting in on the action. Actor Jamie Dorman recently shaved his head, and men’s fashion week was full of closely clipped styles. For guys the appeal is simple; you get a very low maintenance cut with a tough, no nonsense edge, which explains why it’s so very popular right now. For girls, it takes a little bit of work to really pull it off well. Note K-Stews dramatic change of hair colour and excessive amount of eye makeup. For a particular type of girl this look will feel incredibly natural, but for many, a bold new colour update (Try bleached blonde or flame red) and a spot of statement makeup will help pretty it up.
