Alicia Keys may or may not be natural but the singer has just done a big chop for the summer. In an Instagram photo, she showed off her new short cut saying:

Look what I done did!!;-))) its an #aknewday in EVERY way!!!! )))

Alicia definitely does look new. When she first hit the scene back in 2001, braids were her style signature and since then she’s been rocking versatile looks from long silky strands to classy updo’s and soft waves. This new cut definitely gives her image an edgy spin, particularly when she rocks it curly. And the sleek asymmetrical bob also looks good on her, not to mention those Versace-print shorts. It looks like mama got her grove back when it comes to her style. Now what’s up with that next album?

What do you think about Alicia Key’s new look?

Choosing the right haircut can be hard. There’s always that risk you take that you’ll hate it and have to let it grow out over the course of a few months. No one wants that. That’s why we’ve put together this handy little guide to the best cut for every face shape:

Round

If your face is round, meaning that the length and width are the same, most cuts that are at least chin length, but ideally longer, will frame rounder face shapes well.  To slenderize the face a few long, choppy layers on straight hair will definitely do the trick. A bit of wave also elongates and gives it some angle. Try a large barreled curling iron to create gentle bumps in big sections. It’s also easy to create this look heat-free. Just make 6-8 large braids with wet hair, keep in overnight and in the morning you’ll have glorious waves.

Often times, women are reluctant to let go of their long hair for the fear of not being able to do much with shorter hair, feeling that they won’t be as attractive, or are just put off by the maintenance that comes with it.
