Sara’s hair:

Naturally dark brown
Normal condition
Thick, slightly wavy
Looking for a shorter, wash-n-go style

Sara is a busy mom who is looking to take her current style shorter, but not pixie short. I know Sara personally, and besides being a looker (who looks that cute standing around in a tool shed? Huh?), she has a great sense of style. One of the things I love about Sara’s look is that she possesses a little bit of edge, so I wasn’t surprised when she sent a photo of Sienna Miller’s short style as a new possible look.

Love it. I think this would look so attractive on Sara and would meet all of her requirements for getting out of the door in 10 minutes or less. However, I grabbed a couple more options for her to consider before making the cut. Sara mentioned that her hair has become decidedly more wavy since the birth of her daughter, so the following options would be great shorter cuts for wavy hair.

I’m kind of obsessing over this incredible style on Mena Suvari. It’s not too different from Sienna Miller’s cut, and actually has very similar angles to Sara’s before cut. Essentially, this style would keep the angles, but shorten the length while keeping the texturized ends and piecey bangs. Love this one, plain and simple. Sara’s waves would be accentuated nicely.

A key styling tip for this look is using styling lotion (like Bumble and bumble Styling Lotion) and a pomade/wax to create definition in the waves. Super quick, but makes a world of difference.

Option #2 is Nora Zehetner‘s shorter look. (I didn’t know who this actress was before, but I am now loving her hair.) This look definitely takes the length up around the sides of the face, but still looks totally chic, fresh and hello, EASY.

What do you all think? I’m pretty sure Sara would look gorgeous with any of these three styles!
