Mistake 3: Big Body, Small Head Syndrome

Kate Gosselin may be partial to the smooth in front, spiky in back look, but anyone else with short, layered hair should learn from her mistakes. “Kate looks like she’s using gel and hair spray to spike it up—and that’s exactly what not to do.” Lloyd says. “Instead, you need to smooth down the back with a dab of pomade.” (We love Bumble and Bumble SumoTech.)
