Lily Collins Gets a Hair "Dusting" For Fall

Lily Collins may be loyal to her "Birkin" bangs, but that doesn't mean she's opposed to a subtle trim. The "Emily in Paris" actor recently shared her "fall fringe refresh" on Instagram, offering a close look at her freshly-cut bangs and shoulder-length hair. She opted for a hair "dusting," a common term for cutting a very small amount of hair.

Collins worked with celebrity hairstylist Gregory Russell on her mini chop. Russell revealed to POPSUGAR the trim was actually inspired by actor and model Jane Birkin, who the popular "Birkin" bangs trend is named after. Though her fringe previously extended to her eyelids with her hair at chest length, Collins's bangs now hit right at her famous brows, while her hair reaches slightly below her shoulders. The ever-so-slight change is exactly what "dusting" looks like, which is designed to keep hair healthy without sacrificing length.

"A dusting helps by [cutting] those ends that sound crunchy whenever you run your fingers through your hair," Leonardo Manetti, master stylist at Rob Peetoom Salon Williamsburg, recently explained to POPSUGAR. He added that getting your hair dusted regularly is one of the best ways to maintain your hair health as it grows.

Aside from her initial bang reveal in November 2021, Collins hasn't been one for a dramatic hair transformation. As stars like Jennifer Aniston, Megan Fox, and Rowan Blanchard have demonstrated recently, "dusting" is an easy commitment for those similarly looking for a minimal alteration.
