“I was watching ‘Sheer Genius’ on Bravo and was inspired to do something dramatic,” says Emilie, 25, from Scottsdale, Ariz. For years Emilie sported long hair, so with the encouragement of her friends, she went for it and had it chopped into an uber-chic pixie. And although it took some time to gain confidence with her new ‘do, she couldn’t be happier now. “It is so easy in morning — I just wet my hair, slick some gel, and I am out the door,” Emilie says. (She uses Gillette for Men Flex Styling Gel, $4.44 — “It’s inexpensive, effective and even has a pleasant smell,” she says.)
