Forget the transformational chop. This season’s most subversive hair arrives with two words of advice: Go long.
BEAUTY
In college, Emily was the most popular female name in my incoming class, so to differentiate from “hippie Emily,” “pink-hair Emily,” and “nose-pierce Emily,” my classmates deemed me “long-hair Emily.”
Luckily, the nickname didn’t stick. But my hair remains the same, nearly two decades later: dangling just near my waist, anchored by a heavy fringe. I’ve never thought about changing it— mostly because caring for it requires so little effort: Wash, dry, maybe a braid or a high ponytail. Nineties supermodel Liisa Winkler, who has had hip-grazing, beachy waves her entire life (minus a traumatic, Samsonesque chop for a 2001 cover of Italian Vogue, she recalls with a shudder), agrees that it’s the “ease of maintenance” that keeps her from going short. “My mom trims it once in a while; that’s all I have ever really done to it.”
