For this style, you will need to cut your hair real short near the nape of your neck, and the sides should be kept longer. The sides can be cut in a way to look symmetrical or asymmetrical. Pair this style with blunt Cleopatra style bangs or side sweeping bangs. Women can also opt for short layered bob styles, or medium-short layered styles with some bangs.

This style is easy to mimic, just get your hair on the back and side cut shorter. Keep the hair on the crown longer. Then comb back the front hair and a bit sideways. Use a strong-hold product like gel or mousse to get the puffed hair effect. There are some cool variations of this style. You can style your hair to look a little spiky at the ends with gel.
