Adele's Hair Doesn't Look Like This Anymore

Adele debuted a new hair cut on The X Factor finale and has cemented short hair's status as the style we'll all be asking for in 2016.

The 'Hello' singer took an extra few inches off her lob, and added texture to her jaw-skimming bob with face-framing layers.

Adele visited the Daniel Galvin flagship salon on George Street, London, where her hair was cut into a bob by stylist Lino Carbosiero and coloured by Lucy Holbrook.

Tis the season... to go for the chop apparently, as Adele is just the latest in an ever increasing list of celebs to swap longer lengths for a shorter 'do.

Adele's style change came hot on the heels of X Factor host Rita Ora stepping out without her extensions - although they were reinstated for the finale on Sunday 13 December.

The Duchess of Cambridge and Emma Watson have also gone for the chop in recent weeks, and Adele is soon to be joined in the short hair club by another performer on X Factor this weekend, as Harry Styles has promised to part with his long locks once he has nine inches to donate to charity.

What Your Hairstyle Says About You

"A short hairstyle is the perfect balance between sophisticated and daring, which will show the world that you like to have a unique look but appreciate classic icons of the past like Mia Farrow and Audrey Hepburn," says Saboo.

"A short haircut shows you’re not afraid to take a risk, which is why Emma Watson chose this style after she had finished work on the last Harry Potter film. "

"Many women choose to straighten their curls, so choosing to go natural and show off natural body and texture suggests that you’re not afraid to be in the limelight and prefer a more natural, laid-back style," says Saboo.

"Curls are particularly suitable for bohemian fashion, but they also work well with dramatic silhouettes, as seen on the likes of Leona Lewis. "Having curls isn’t always fun as this hair requires extra conditioning, so make sure you use a hair masque each week and work an oil or curl cream through the hair after each wash."

"It’s often suggested that red heads have a fiery personality," says Saboo.

"So this hair colour will make you seem fun, full of passion and with a zest for life. "If it’s your first time moving into the red hair family then go for a subtle colour, or dare to go bold with a luscious, bright tone."

"This is a style favoured by the likes of Kim Kardashian West and suggests a different personality to your regular pony style – this one says to the world that you’re organised, professional and want to be taken seriously," explains Saboo.

"This is why it’s perfect for the office and important meetings, showing off your ambition and level of perfectionism."

"From Marilyn Monroe to Paris Hilton, there’s a reason why women choose to colour their hair a shocking shade of blonde – it shows that you’re a confident person, like to turn heads and enjoy attention," says Saboo.

"It’s often seen as the ultimate symbol of femininity and indicates that you have a glamourous side, but women also go for a dramatic shade to mark a new chapter in their life, such as when Kim Kardashian West went blonde after the birth of her daughter.

"Be prepared for the maintenance, as you’ll need to use a purple shampoo and good hair treatment at least once a week to maintain this look."
