Sandra "Sandy" Annette Bullock was born on July
26, 1964 in a Virginia suburb of Washington D.C. to a
German opera singer. Although she has been acting
since 1987 (Hangman) she didn't break out as an actress
until her role driving the out-of-control bus in Speed
with co-star Keanu Reeves in 1994.
Over the past two years Sandy has made a
lot of changes in her life. Her most recent is the
adoption of a spectacular new top-of-the-shoulders bob
hairstyle. A former member of People's 50 Most
Beautiful People (1996 & 1999), the naturalized Texan
unveiled her super-seductive classic bob with a
peek-a-boo side-swept "Veronica Lake" fringe.
Flaunting a sleek shimmering shorter
style, Sandra captured the spotlight at the Premiere of
The Lake House. Besides a major hairstyle change,
Sandra married for the first time one year ago to
Monster Garage man Jesse James. She also literally
took a turn back into time in order to co-star with
Keanu Reeves.
According to media reports Sandra and
Keanu have remained good friends since they worked
together 12 years ago and wanted to re-create the
chemistry of their first role together in Speed once the
movie's producer suggested the idea to them.
The magic must have been completely
preserved because The Lake House has garnered great
reviews and is doing well at the box office. A
love story, it showcases Sandra's excellent acting
talents.
Back To Sandra's Bob

When I look at Sandra's sizzling new bob
I am amazed by the fact that the actress has naturally
curly hair. Over the years it has been reported
that the actress has undergone a variety of relaxing and
chemical straightening treatments for her natural
ringlets.
Sandra's classic bob was expertly angled
so that it dips slightly forward into seductive curvy
points in the front under her chin. This builds in
beautiful movement and body.
It is very important to note that
Sandra's stellar hairstyle starts with a precision cut
that is designed to build in maximum fullness around the
crown with a hint of very slight razoring around the
ends to add just a touch of extra texture.
Depending on some hair texture and
types, razoring may or may not be the best option.
With Sandra's style the hint of razor feathering along
the perimeter creates just the right edginess.

Her new bob cut also allows Sandra to
either part her hair down the middle and wear a
shimmering veil of chocolate brown strands framing
either side of her face or to wear a side part with a
side-swept eye covering fringe.
When she wears the style with the
peek-a-boo fringe she also has the option to tuck the
opposite side behind one ear and pull the ends forward
to frame her neck.
Whether worn with or without the
side-swept strands, the style is perfect with her
classic square shaped face and gorgeous features.
Auburn Highlights
If you look closely you will be able to
see that Sandra's chocolate brown tresses have been very
carefully highlighted with ribbons of rich auburn color
placed strategically throughout her bob to add the
illusion of fullness and depth.

The auburn highlights placed against the
soft chocolate base also helps to bring out a blinding
shine.
Steal Sandra's Bob Style
Sandra's hairstyle can be customized to
work with just about any face shape, hair type or
texture. For naturally curly or wavy hair the
strands must be either pre-straightened or blow dried
straight.
This style is idea for hair that is
medium in thickness.
Follow the steps below to recreate
Sandra's style:
Start with a precision angled
bob that is cut to hang forward into curved points and
frame the neck.
1. Start by washing your hair in
lukewarm water with a product designed to
add back
moisture and to treat
colored or highlighted hair with tender loving
care.

2. Rinse hair well and then apply
a moisturizing
rinse-out conditioner focusing the products on the
areas of the hair that are most dry or damaged.
If your hair is fine or thin you may wish to skip this
option.
For extra conditioning substitute the rinse-out
conditioner with a
deep conditioner
that is allowed to
soak down into the hair's shaft.
4. Finish with a cool/cold rinse
to lock in moisture and add additional shine.
5. Towel blot to remove excess
moisture. Apply a conditioning detangling spray or
leave-in conditioner and detangle strands with
a wide tooth comb working from the ends to the roots.
Create either a center or side part, depending on how
you wish to style your hair.
Note: If your hair is prone to frizzing apply a
defrisant product or mix with your other styling
products. It has been reported in the past that
Sandra Bullock was a
big fan of Phytodefrisant for her naturally curly
hair that tended to frizz.
6. For lots of fullness, lift and volume,
apply a
volume enhancing product
to the roots.
Distribute a straightening balm to the rest of the
strands distributing from below the roots to the ends.

7. Separate strands into 1" to 2
1/2" sections and blow dry with a
boar's bristle round brush. Blow dry the top
sections of hair using fingers to lift individual top
strands and direct the air flow from ends to roots.
Use the brush to turn the ends under
around the edges and slightly in towards the neck.
Note: If hair is naturally
curly, do not use fingers to blow dry since this can add
to frizz.
Use a boar's bristle brush instead.
8. When hair is completely dry you
may opt to touch up the strands with a straightening
iron to achieve sleeker panels of hair.
You may prefer to use a curling iron (or
hot rollers) to turn under the ends or add more volume
and lift to the crown area.
9. Apply a
shine serum,
shine spray or
hair cream
to seal in moisture and add that shimmering shine
similar to Sandra's.
Hairspray is optional.
Summary
Twelve years after Sandra Bullock met
Keanu Reeves on a speeding bus she is back meeting with
her via a mailbox. A lot has changed for the
gorgeous and beloved actress since she last acted with
Keanu. Sandra has a hot new hairstyle that befits
her maturity as a seasoned actress and beauty. The
International film star also has a gorgeous new husband,
a sizzling career with mega paychecks and success as
both a film producer and director. It couldn't
happen to a better person.
