Jennifer Love Hewitt was born in Waco,
Texas on February 21, 1979. By the time she was three
years old she was in the performing world. She
hasn't stopped working since. In essence, the
world has watched the vivacious star grow up.
Her first big hit was Party Of Five in 1995.
Recently her latest series, Ghost Whisperer has
been in the top 10 and is considered a bona fide hit.
Jennifer, whose friends call her "Love" has been popping
up on the talk show circuit. I recently caught her
on the Ellen Degeneres daytime talk show where she
sweetly discussed her Ghost fans.
Last night I caught her on Craig Ferguson where she
discussed her acting roles as a child.
One of the most interesting things about
Love is that her hair hue, length and style are
constantly changing. For Ellen's show she was
tressed in a below-the-shoulder chocolate brown wavy
style. Her hair was a lighter mocha shade and
curlier for Craig Ferguson. I was curious to find
out if her latest media hair incarnation, a gorgeous
short red hued bob, is her real hair or an add-on wig or
extensions.
Robert Hallowell Provides Insight To
Love's Style
After a few days of phone tag I caught up with Love's
celebrity hairdresser, Robert Hallowell, who has worked
with the gorgeous star (recently named in People
Magazine's 100 Most Beautiful For 2006) off and on for
years.
Robert confirmed that "Jennifer's new
short mahogany red bob is her own hair and not a wig".
Although "it is a definite departure from her normal
dark brunette strands", Robert said that "she looks
spectacular and that it's a fabulous color and style for
her face shape, body type and overall skin and eye
tones".
Agreeing with Robert that Love looks
absolutely stunning in her new short bob, I implored
Robert to give me all the details. He expressed
surprise that "she was willing to go with a shorter
style that was not in the dark chocolate brown range".
Note: Jennifer was quoted
on ContactMusic.com recently as saying that she "didn't
much care for her new (hair) look because it didn't go
with all of her clothes".

Robert mentioned that during the times that he had
worked with Love's hair for various roles, "she
expressed a desire to wear her hair two or more shades
darker than her natural brunette hue".
"Interesting that she went with the red hues" he mused.
Then he pointed out that "the beautiful actress had
another Garfield movie coming out". In fact,
Garfield is set to open June 23 with the voice of Bill
Murray and starring Jennifer. Breckin Meyer and Billy
Connolly.
In order to "achieve the rich red infused hue on
Jennifer's natural brunette tresses" Robert confirmed
that involved a two step coloring process". First
the "brunette shades would be lifted and then the deep
rich mahogany red could be deposited". Although
her hair seems to catch a variety of lights, Robert
pointed out that she did not have highlights woven into
the new hue and that it only appeared to be so due to
the way the lights played off her newly colored tresses.
Steal Jennifer's Short Bob Style
Love's short bob, as Robert explained is not
technically a "traditional bob" since it does not fall
into the official definition of a traditional bob cut
devised by Vidal Sassoon that is equal in length from
part to end. Love's bob has a wide sweep of fringe
hair that Robert believes "really flatters her face".
The cut, Robert commented "was performed with a
shears and not a razor, which would probably rendered
Love's medium textured hair too wispy on the ends".
Robert pointed out that "razors should only be used on
certain types of strong hair that is less likely to
split or curl up from lack of weight."
Styling Tips

Robert has used his
Prawduct line of all natural hair care products on
Jennifer in the past when he coiffed her hair for
various events. He confirmed that he would
re-create her bob style by completing the steps listed
below:
1. Shampoo with product that is designed for
your hair's type, texture and current condition.
Robert recommends his famous Shine Booster Shampoo,
which he has used on Love in the past.
2. Rinse shampoo well and follow with an
application of
Shine Booster Conditioner.
3. Finish with a cool/cold clear water rinse to
remove all remaining conditioner, to help close the
cuticle and build in natural shine.
4. Towel blot excess water and then apply a few
drops of
Love That Shine Treatment Elixer working it into the
tresses with fingertips.
Robert explained that the "Treatment Elixer is a high
integrity product that works as both a great leave-in
conditioner as well as adding great stylability".
5. After the
Love That Shine Treatment Elixer has been worked
into the damp hair with fingers, Robert recommends
"adding a small dollop of his
Flat Factor to the palms of the hands and then
working into the hair on top of the
Love That Shine Treatment Elixer".
He was very specific, which I asked, to point out
"the two products should NOT be cocktailed together
since it would weaken the integrity of each product".
Robert explained he would "add the
Flat Factor on top of the Love That Shine to give
hair a rich glossy quality and get it perfectly straight
so that the hair had bend and movement".
To achieve more optional volume along the crown area
apply
Robert's Super Volumizing Tonic to the area where
fullness is desired.
6. Once the various styling products have been
carefully and completely distributed from roots to ends
use a long tail comb and create a deep side part and
direct fringe hair over to one side. The hair should
extend deep fro the part up to the top of one eye.
Blow dry fringe area completely flat to avoid
development of wrinkles or hair creases.

7. Once the fringe is completely dry, work on
the rest of the hair. Select a wide boar's bristle
paddle brush (for more coverage and to dry hair faster)
combined with a blow dryer.
Robert suggests "using the head like a roller directing
hair back and forth with the brush and blow dryer to
build in body, movement and remove all remaining
moisture".
8. After the strands are completely dry use a
medium sized flat iron on just the top 1/4" section of
the hair surrounding the part to add spectacular sheen
and swing.
Robert explained that "using a flat iron on isolated
sections adjacent to the part gives hair lots of nice
movement and flow. It also prevents the development of
pesky fly-a-ways".
9. For extra height around the back and crown,
Robert recommends "separating hair into 1- 1 1/2"
sections and back comb. Smooth hair and finish
with a spritz of
Love That Shine Spray."
Summary
There is no question why Jennifer Love Hewitt was
selected as one of People Magazine's 100 Most Beautiful
People for 2006. Not only is Love a gorgeous and
talented performer, she has a stunning new short hair
bob with a sassy hue.
The Texas born and bred actress is also known for her
big heart, kind soul and thoughtfulness. Watch for
her acting career to continue to soar as she prepares
for the release of Garfield and a second season of the
award winning Ghost Whisperer. |
