"The fullness at the sides gives it a really interesting, beautiful look," Oribe explained.

Since this is Skin Cancer Awareness Month, I asked dermatologist Jeannette Graf, an assistant clinical professor of dermatology at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City, to demystify this important annual appointment. "Patients fear the unknown, or they cancel their appointment because they've been on vacation and they feel guilty about their tan. But before they know it, six months have gone by." Graf says there's nothing to fear.

But this Spring, there's a new cool-girl alternative: a tough middle part with easy, loose waves. The combo looks naturally seductive - and not just because beauties like Doutzen Kroes (above), Brooklyn Decker, and DJ Harley Viera-Newton have been wearing the style. The look has an unpretentious, uncalculated feel that makes it so appealing. (It's also more grown-up than last season's omnipresent beachy waves.) </p> <p><b>To re-create them</b>: Start by combing a volumizer, such as <a onclick="if (window.shopSensePFlag===undefined) {this.href=this.href.replace(/pid=\d+/,'pid=puid20652');}return true;" href="http://www.shopstyle.com/browse/shu-uemura?utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=sugar-brand&amp;utm_campaign=22826289&amp;pid=22161&amp;pdata=onsugar1922153,22826289" class="ss_inline_link auto_link_filter no_shopsense_url_rewrite" title="Shop for shu uemura" target="_blank">Shu Uemura</a> Art of Hair Fiber Lift Protective Volumizer, through damp hair. (Just because you're not going for full-on glam volume doesn't mean your hair should be <i>totally</i> flat). Define a center part, and then tousle your hair as you blow-dry, aiming the nozzle downward to prevent frizz. Now it's time to add in the waves: Wrap small sections of hair around a large-barrel curling iron, beginning just above the ends and working up to the chin. Finally, run your fingers through the waves to break them up. If they still look a little too defined, you can take a paddle brush to them. Just go over each section once, and then break them up with your fingers again when you're done.

Literally. It's called the lob (short for "long bob"), and actresses in their 20s and early 30s are jumping on board: <span class="nobrand">Emily Blunt</span>, Emma Roberts, <span class="nobrand">Nicole Richie</span>, and <span class="nobrand">January Jones</span> have all gone for shoulder-grazing cuts. The good news: styling them is easy, since lobs look awesome straight and sleek (like Blunt's) or wavy and beachy (like Roberts's). And they're that rare cut that really does look good on everyone. "If you have a round face, it's not going to make you look too round, because the length is below the jaw," says hairstylist Chris McMillan. "And if you have a long face, the textured layers are going to add a really nice width." So take pictures of your favorite lob to your hairstylist.
