"Always love changing up this human s hair. New color. Swept back. New vibe," wrote hairstylist Adir Abergel alongside an Instagram snap of Charlize Theron over the weekend. The caption rang true as Theron s new do—inches shorter with honeyed highlights switched for a single shade of platinum— exuded an entirely refreshed feel. While her last chop read classic and sweetly gamine, the actress s lightened mane, defined by extra length and volume at the front, skewed subversive and punkish, an aesthetic offset by her romantic makeup palette (think rose lips, bronze-brushed skin, and a few swipes of mascara).
And for those who favor abbreviated lengths, the comment section of Abergel s share featured a welcome styling tip. In response to one commenter s complaint around difficulty achieving Theron s level of hair height at the front of the short style, Abergel sounded off with a simple, though game-changing, tip: tease the roots. The result is a look at once done-up and undone—the ultimate balancing act.
