Choppy Haircuts Trends

I think this is a cool funky cut, but I just wonder if it would look like this styled by a normal person adn not a stylist.

Apply straightening serum to towel-dried hair. Start by blow-drying the bangs with the nozzle of the dryer pointing down -- never place dryer underneath the bangs -- to ensure bangs lie straight and flat. Blow-dry the rest of the hair straight using a paddle brush. If you need a conservative look for everyday, downplay the choppy layers, come the weekend bring out your strongest gel and bring those choppy layers to life with finger styling.

Candies for the French Court and Marie Antoinette

Marie Antoinette, at the age of thirteen by Joseph Ducreux (1769)

Maria Antonia Josepha Johanna von Habsburg-Lothringen was an Archduchess of Austria and the Queen of France and Navarre (Vienna, 1755 – Paris, 1793). At the age of fourteen she married Louis-Auguste, Dauphin of France, and she became Dauphine de France. In 1774, after the death of Louis XV, her husband ascended to the French throne as Louis XVI and she became Queen of France and Navarre. Her life of opulence, of exuberant hairdos and lush elaborated dresses, parties, lovers and excess ended by the guillotine during the French Revolution.
