If you’re thinking of going light like ScarJo, keep dark roots for a subtly stylish gradient effect that’s also really low-maintenance. For a full-bodied look, do a deep side part and pump up the volume on your crown with hair mousse. This is a bold cut, so think through your decision first and be sure you’re 110% ready before heading to the salon.

Too many layers can make your hair look thin, but that’s not a problem if you’ve got short hair, especially when you can simply toss it to one side for a more voluminous look. Keep a long side fringe like Rachel so you can switch your parting easily. Side fringes can also be great to pin back during the extra hot days, with an embellished slide – practical and pretty. Win!

Jet black hair that isn’t styled can end up looking like a lifeless black hole, so give it plenty of depth and dimension with waves that you can achieve at home via a good quality curler. Opt for choppy layered ends to give your ‘do more texture too.

This collarbone-grazing cut is still making waves because it’s easy to maintain and universally flattering. The model’s angled version with mesmerising curled-in ends is ultra sleek and makes hair appear really healthy.

Alternatively, make like Kerry and ask your stylist for blunt bangs and a less layered bob that can instantly make your mane look fuller. Bangs can also take years off your face and totally refresh your look. Be careful with super-thick hair and this style, as it can become almost too prominent a hair stayle for you. This suits those with finer hair that sits straighter on the face.

This flattering cut gives the illusion of a slimmer face – the trick here is to keep a side parting and to add layers for a bit of a tousled look. This style suits those with more petite facial features, as the short sharp cut-off at the chin draws all attention to the face.
