Kelly Rowland’s asymmetric crop is one of the chicest cuts on the planet! It’s also super-versatile–a fact Rowland proved when, instead of sporting her long, heavy bang swooped across her forehead, she slicked it behind one ear. Voila! In one easy step, she took the look from Cool Chick to Sleek Sophisticate. To do, use a fine-tooth comb to create a deep side part, and then sweep the bangs back behind an ear (if your bangs are too short to reach, secure them in place with a bobby pin). Amp up shine and hold hair in place with a spritz of light hold spray like Kiehls Climate-Proof Shine-Enhancing Non-Aerosol Spray ($16, kiehls.com). So easy, so gorgeous.
