What do you get when two trends collide? A must-try hairstyle! Both stylish and easy to create, the short, rock-chick haircut is a huge hit this season. Simply follow our advice from the pros to make sure it stays looking tip-top!
 
A short, rock-chick hairstyle is easier to manage if you have straight hair. “Your hair needs to be straight and fairly fine. Does your hair tick these boxes? Then give this haircut a go, it’s perfect for your hair type.
 
The styling product you use will obviously depend on the effect you’re going for. “For an all-out neo-punk effect, give Texture Powder a go. This leaves your hair looking matte and provides a fixing effect whilst holding your hair perfectly in place. For a bit of hold but a less rigid effect, Fiber Gel is your best bet.”
 
There are several haircuts to choose from when it comes to short, rock-chick hairstyles. “The bowl cut, a key trend for autumn-winter 2013-2014 at Jean Louis David, works really well, but that’s not your only option. Just make sure you choose something structured, easy to style and customise.
 
Before going for a cut like this, think about the upkeep it requires. “A structured haircut requires regular upkeep. You’ll need to visit the salon at least once a month to keep your ends looking nice and defined. A rock-chick hairstyle with less structure will require less upkeep. Simply go for a trim every two months. Whichever cut you go for, you’ll find that short hair needs regular upkeep.
 
Our tip: when you’re at the salon, ask your hairdresser to thin out your haircut so that you can change your hairstyle easily. Straight, spiky or wavy, it’s up to you!
