STRIKING with a cool crop

A crop that hits above the nape of the neck in back and above the ears in front allows the breeze to blow on the face and neck and keeps sweaty strands from sticking to either, says hairstylist Jonathan Colombini, who’s worked with Geena Davis and Christie Brinkley. The shorter cut also pulls attention away from an angular chin, while sideswept fringe conceals a wider forehead.

What to ask for: A jawlength crop in back with graduating layers throughout, neatly cut sides and brow-skimming bangs. Get the style: Spritz damp hair with a volumizing spray (we like Not Your Mother’s Plump for Joy Thickening Hair Lifter, Ulta.com) to prop strands up and off of the scalp for cooling lift. Next, blowdry 1" sections of hair with a small round brush until all of hair is dry. Set with hair spray.
