Paul edmonds talks the coupe haircut

Short hair is everywhere this season and with Paul Edmonds' Coupe haircut, you can offer clients a versatile take on the trend. A thick, blunt cut at the back with inverted layers for movement, the style also brings choppy, textured, longer layers to the front. Hello, Cheryl's new 'do! Paul, who counts the likes of Sam Smith, Michelle Dockery and Margot Robbie as clients, has been tipping The Coupe as the trend to watch for 2015. He says: "The bob that was first popular in the early 1920s is back again. The Coupe was about a blunt-looking haircut that showed a woman’s independence and strength; the first girl power! Vidal Sassoon took the idea and developed the idea of the blunt cut, liberating the need for setting the hair every week in the salon and allowing women to produce the now-iconic look at home. "Today this look is all about texture, easy hair, movement and great quality shine and finish allowing you to show off your colour! Today it's being pioneered by the likes of Jennifer Lawrence and Mia Wasikowska - whose hair I cut from long to Coupe for her film role in the Double. I cut through her hair to give it softness and versatility and added a fringe. And she's kept the look to date!" So how is the look created? · First by blunt-cutting the hair then internally cutting inverted layers throughout the haircut or through the under layers of the hair. This gives an airy versatility to the hair with looks that can be created and styled easily at home . · The Coupe works best on shoulder length hair and above, when you like the idea of one length but not the heaviness or solidity. · The kind of woman that rocks The Coupe is the kind that longs for versatility. Versatility matters to you as much as your hair condition, personality and lifestyle. It's different from the more textured look of the recent LOB, it has more hold and glamour.     [Images: Rex Features]
