Styles, lengths and cuts were once again all over the place at the Spring-Summer 2011 fashion events, including buns, rolls and bobs, ponytails, and even big hair and teased side ponytails tied up in hair bows, a la the 1980’s Madonna look.

In general, styles are becoming more free and casual compared to super neat precision cuts of the past several years.

Bob
Back again this summer, the classic bob features strong graphic outlines incorporating. curves and sharp lines. Go for asymmetry – try one side longer or raise the back and lower the front. Mix lengths gradually, add volume with layers or stick to one length cuts. This is a cut that you can tailor to your face and lifestyle — a look for the individual. Soften it with wisps or a bit of back combing.
