Who doesn't want that? They're also trendy, with models and celebs lining up for the look. Follow Nick Arrojo's hair and styling tips and opt for choppy bangs this pony season.

Short layers and choppy bangs transform chin-length looks from subdued to bold. Unconnected lengths – short at the top and longer at the bottom – have a striking, punk-influenced feel. The top layers remove the volume from the sides and can be worn tight, tousled or even in a mohawk. The shape opens the face and accentuates the eyes and cheekbones for a flattering, sharp variation on the bob.
Hairstyle: Ask your hairdresser for a line that falls above the shoulder, with a clean edge that is the same length all the way around the head. Add short, choppy bangs and textured layers cut opposite to the shape of the head, creating a flat, lean silhouette.
Color: A light color all over or a few highlights on top accentuate the disconnect and increase the drama of the look. Keep the variation subtle, within 1-2 levels of the base color.
