A shorter crop is refreshingly convenient, a wash and go style if you will. This cut is not for the faint of heart though, but with ample poise this style can be pulled off marvelously. Layers in various lengths give a hint of volume. You can have textured pixie bangs or leave them a bit longer and style them at any slant.
