Summer '09 Trend Alert: The Half-Shaven Head

So, Purple Glamour's favorite style icon, Elle fashion editor, Kate Lanphear, has a new 'do!

and I love it. The partially-shaved head is the name of the game this summer from short...

Rihanna

to long, flirty tresses...

LaLa Vazquez

Cassie Ventura

at first, I was on the fence about the look, before I noticed that my hair is really short on the sides and back and long on the top (not shaven, though). The half-shaven look is dramatic, but if done the right way can be chic and edgy. In my opinon, Kate achieved the look best thus far.

What do you think?
