5 Sexy Haircuts We’re Loving Right Now

All you need is great hair! Pro stylist Peter Gray knows how every woman can find her sexiest update. You’ll look so good, you might not even need clothes.

Sexy Haircut: The Rapunzel

She loves it because: “I can curl, straighten, braid, or undo that braid for waves,” says model Selina Khan.

If you’ve got long hair, know this: “Long hair is like your favorite T-shirt,” says Gray—meaning it’s the everyday staple you feel great in, but untended, it’ll get beaten up. For strength, do weekly at-home conditioning treatments. Prone to flyaways? Apply a silicone-based serum; then blow-dry. Try Pantene Pro-V Aqua Light Weightless Conditioning Shake ($6, at drugstores).

Sexy Haircut: 3-D Layers

Like this voluminous look? “You can use color to make hair look thicker,” says Gray, who added darker tones underneath Antonella Graef’s layers to create dimension. Or just apply thickening spray from roots to tips; massage it into your scalp and blow-dry upside down. Try John Frieda Luxurious Volume Thickening Mousse ($7, at drugstores).

Sexy Haircut: The All-Girl Pixie

Isabel Hickman loves hers. The key to short hair is to rough it up a bit, says Gray. Finger-comb using a matte paste that adds control without a greasy feel. Try Redken Rough Paste 12 Working Material ($18, drugstore.com).

Sexy Haircut: The Foxy ‘Fro

She loves it because: “I used to hate my curls. But since I’ve embraced them, I realize that they set me apart,” says model Laura Scott.

Got a headful of curls? Max them out by gently stretching them with an Afro pick. Then create a few random spirals with a pencil-thin curling iron. Keep coarse hair from drying out with a light shine spray. Try L’Or?�al Professionnel Mythic Oil ($29, lorealprofessionnel-us.com for salons).

Sexy Haircut: Statement Bangs

Heavy, thick bangs look best when the rest is a bit unkempt, says Gray. For Cris Herrmann’s mod, lived-in look, scrunch ends with hairspray.Then blow out just your bangs and finish with a touch of oil. Try Matrix Total Results Silk Wonder Smoothing Oil ($16, matrix.com for salons).
