5 Sporty Pieces You Need In Your Closet

„Breakup cuts” are so common, almost every hairstylist has helped execute one. „A haircut after a breakup is powerful,” Chase Kusero, hairstylist and co-founder of IGK, says. „People [often] keep their hair a certain way because of what a partner likes, or because it’s how they’ve always worn it. When you cut it and wear it how you want it, it’s empowering.” That being said, it’s important to make sure you’re doing it for the right reasons. „When you do a cut out of anger or revenge and that anger fades, you want to make sure you still like the cut!” Franck, hairstylist and fellow co-founder of IGK, adds.
