Step One: Chop it Off

If a ponytail is your signature hairstyle, it could be time for a short cut. Luke gives Rachel a Katie Holmes-inspired cut by lopping off eight inches. (Ask for gradual layers in the back for movement and long bangs in front.)

Style tip: Give a cut like this a sexy touch for evening by applying mousse to damp hair, then scrunching with hands while blow-drying. Tousle dry hair with your fingers, then "bump up" or lift roots with a curling iron. Total style time: five minutes.
