"An asymmetric cut adds a mystique, sexy, and chic look whether it's a bob or lob," says Bergamy. "This style has such an ageless look. By cutting the hair directly on the shoulders delivers a perfectly soft look and frames the jawline allowing to show off your best feature." Bergamy adds that taking that weight off your shoulders also emphasizes the structure of your face and neck, which, as long as you're vaccinated, will be on full display now.

Jagged and shaggy layers will give you that rock and roll vibe that will perfectly compliment every party look this summer. For a specific cut like this, Bergamy suggests taking a photo to your hairstylist. "The stylist then can see if this specific style goes with your face shape [and] can create a variation of the style to best suit you," she says.
