I Medium and short cuts are a spring classic when mild temperatures tempt you to change your mind. From medium bob to bob, up to the most experienced climbers, now they also appeal to those who are fifty years old or older. “The short is very versatile, from the more cheeky version like Linda Evangelista, to the slightly lighter one longer at the back. But medium length also works well”, explains Davide Diodovich (hair stylist and owner of the Milan Davide Diodovich shop, in Via Montebello 24) who warns: “The condition is that it never falls below the shoulders in order to slim down the neck and figure “.
What are the criteria for an optimal cut?
“As happens with all our clients, especially with oversized clients, our first attention is directed towards evaluating what the natural tones of each individual client are, their colours, the distribution of colors and the texture of the hair, the percentage of white hair present and if it is particularly concentrated in certain points. Before taking the scissors, it is important to understand who the client is and her needs, so as to be able to satisfy her tastes and the needs of the hair structure”.
In the presence of the first gray hairs, how should the cut be?
“White hair is an unpredictable element, one cannot predict its arrival, distribution or even quantity, so it is not possible to move in advance. However, there are some guidelines that can be considered regardless of white hair. It is important to maintain a medium cut line above the shoulders, because, after a certain age, the force of gravity has a greater impact and the tone of the face changes; a fresh cut line helps to lighten the features and attenuate the signs of aging on the face and gives the look a more contemporary feel. Furthermore, when accompanied by lighter color tones, it helps to illuminate the face. You can also decide to keep your hair natural if the presence of white is particularly widespread or well distributed.”
Any other advice for those who choose to focus on white?
“It is important to keep it shiny and well-groomed thanks to suitable products to avoid the yellow and bristly effect. However, each client has a color and cut that enhances him/her most and this depends on the face, the colors and the more or less important presence of white hair. Short hair, if recalibrated often, gives a more lively tone to the whole. An example are two splendid oversized women who showed at Miu Miu for FW24: the top client Qin Huilan and the actress Kristin Scott Thomas. Both they showed off short cuts and very current natural colors with an elegance to copy.”
