A Straight, Listless Style Gets A Major Makeover

The Cut Gripping the edge of her seat, an anxious Caitlin watched as Mekertichian gathered her hair into a ponytail to go for the big chop. Caitlin's hair has never been shorter than shoulder-length, and this single snip was a major moment. Caitlin's worst fear: a complicated new cut that would require a lot of styling know-how. "I was so shocked to see my hair all over the floor. I'm typically low-maintenance with my hair," she said, post-trim. "I stick to the same routine and just wake up in the morning and go. So, hopefully this will be just as easy to style."

As Mekertichian began cutting, she created new layers within Caitlin's cut, adding depth and movement at her crown and at the front of her hair.

"I took off about nine inches of her hair, but this style will still be very consistent with her current styling routine," said Mekertichian. "It's a very wash and go type of look with lots of movement. It's very sexy, with a symmetrical fringe and lots of body -- flowy and fun."

Because her hair is naturally stick-straight, Mekertichian said the cut would create natural texture for Caitlin and a natural bend in her hair.

"She won't really have to work it," says Mekertichian. "Just a spritz of texturizer and scrunching her ends a little will do the job. It's modern, simple, sexy and sophisticated."
