Sex Appeal Revisited with Michelle Williams

Here is an example of a totally feminine, touchable short hair style that still has plenty of sex appeal. I wanted to showcase Michelle Williams' style here because some women that sit in my chair are often apprehensive of trying shorter styles in the fear of losing their femininity. I am not an avid supporter of associating length with beauty and allure, as I would much rather see someone who is not afraid to step out from behind their hair and show another side of sex appeal that has somehow been lost in translation: Personality. It is this trait that brings these looks to life, and can ultimately turn a short hair style into a jaw dropping success. It is for this reason that I assess my clients ability to pull off shorter hair styles not only taking into account facial features such as cheek bones, lips, eyes, and nose, but also taking a step back and looking holistically at the person in question and sensing if they have the confident personality needed to wear these looks effortlessly. Your personality will define the cut, the cut will not define your personality. If you are thinking of getting a similar haircut make sure to ask your stylist for plenty of texture, some disconnection throughout the interior of your hair cut, and a little asymmetry. Typically these cuts work best with fine to medium density hair with some slight wave being ideal. A little bit of courage, and a lot of personality will make this cut as signature looking on you as it does on Michelle Williams.
