Queen

Letizia

is not only a style icon if we talk about fashion.

We want to know how she maintains

her wonderful skin,

the way she always manages to show off tanned (and shapely) legs and arms without sunbathing or

her makeup tricks.

It is also news when it is discovered what she is carrying in her bag, like when she was 'caught' touching up her lips a few months ago, and of course her lock of gray hair, which she has been wearing since then, is more than commented on and praised. years ago.

Well, it was with her hair, precisely, that she surprised us today, after a long time sporting long, very long hair, sometimes more weathered, sometimes less.

Because at the lunch offered to the president of Paragua, Santiago Peña, and his wife, Leticia Ocampos, in Zarzuela, the Queen has debuted... a radical change of look.

Queen Letizia's new haircut

The last time Queen Letizia gave a surprise in terms of haircut was in 2015, when she appeared at some awards with a

very straight, almost bob cut.

Today the length is longer, excuse the redundancy, and with much more volume.

Because the Queen's new hair

is a midi hair,

which we can call long bob or clavicle, since the hair falls right at the height of the collarbone.

Her change is notable not only for the cut, but also for the immediacy: 24 hours ago she was in London, at the funeral for Constantine of Greece in Windsor, hair blowing in the wind, and today, magic of the scissors, she is a new Letizia.

Let's analyze the haircut in detail.

Although among the multitude of names that midi hair receives we can get lost, if we want to give it a more specific name we could talk about

long bob or clavicut,

that style, inspired

by the bob,

but somewhat longer, where

the ends rest on the shoulders

and they fall on the collarbones - and hence their name, which means nothing more than cutting the collarbone.

The clavicle is a type of cut that

gives volume

regardless of the length, but the important thing, as

Carlos Fernández, from Franck Provost, says,

is that the cut does not exceed the clavicle since it is a standard measurement,

neither too short nor too long,

perfect for those who do not dare to cut it shorter or even leave it longer.

The reason for this measure and no other is funny: when the hair turns two years old (about 25 centimeters from the roots taking into account that the guidelines for trimming the ends recommended every three months are followed), if it has not been properly cared for. With

conditioners, masks

and proper mechanical hair management, the ends tend to split and are not able to express

the wave

they have as standard.

When the hair touches the shoulders, it directs the ends where it suits you, making it

more difficult to control

its movement.

But if he goes looking for the clavicle,

he will respect his own gesture

and lightness before reaching it, so he can allow himself the luxury of acquiring a life of his own,

Ángela Navarro explains.

More benefits of midi cuts for the clavicle is that they are versatile, they can be styled straight or with waves, which the Queen likes so much, and collected.

In fact,

low ponytails

are the best allies of these haircuts.

Goodbye to long hair forever?

Will the Queen's court be reversed?

We remember that there is a popular belief that after a certain age women are better off with short hair, rather than very long hair being for young girls...

Hairdresser

Eduardo Sánchez,

director of

Maison Eduardo Sánchez,

told Yo Dona

when the Queen turned 48 and had very long hair

: "She wears a coherent look that is very consistent with her work, to which some very pretty features contribute. "He has shiny hair, probably the result of a very healthy diet, exercise and providing him with the necessary care."

As for whether the length was appropriate, she thought: "she needs to have hair of a certain length so that

she can put it up when

the act requires it" (which this new cut allows her to do, without a doubt).

Even so, the hairdresser did not deny that he saw her

"especially favored when she opts for midi cuts

but with slight gradients that provide

body and volume."

Said and done, the Queen has switched to the midi cut, which Sánchez says modernizes and updates any look.
