Jennifer Aspen looks fabulous in
a sexy chin length bob with a soft sweeping fringe that
extends from a side part to over the top of one eye -
Veronica Lake style.
The lovely Libran actress
(October 9, 1973) currently stars on ABC's comedy,
Rodney, set in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Jennifer, who has
been acting since 1995 when she guest starred on the
defunct Hope & Gloria series, plays "Trina Hamilton" who
has to deal with a husband who suddenly quits his job to
become a stand-up comic.
Jennifer is a great role model
for someone with short hair that wants inspiration on
how to create instant new looks.
Start By Altering The Length Of Your Style
One way to instantly change up
your short hair style - or any style for that matter -
is to alter the length. If you have a short
chin-length bob like Jennifer Aspen, you can do what she
did and go shorter. Or you can pull the short
sides back over your ears and pin into a faux hair
twist. Viola, you have a completely different
look.

Jennifer usually wears her
beautiful blonde tresses chin length or shorter, but is
always popping up with new looks.
Listed below are some ideas on
how to instantly get a new look for your short strands:
1.
Go short with a hot new cut.
2. Fake a shorter look. Experiment
with your pulling sides and crown back into a faux
twist. Use bobby pins the same color as your
natural hair to blend perfectly.
3. Go instantly longer. An add-on
ponytail, half wig or wig creates instant length in just
a few minutes.
According to her celebrity hairdresser, Ken Paves,
"Jessica Simpson loves chin length or shorter
hairstyles. Especially in the Summer months when
longer hair is hot on her neck".
Having naturally chin length or
shorter hair doesn't slow Jess down. When she has
a big red carpet event, she just pops on a half-wig or
full add-on pony and creates a myriad of new ponies,
twists or combinations.

4. Alter your part. Change
your part from left to right or from center to one side.
Go to a deeper part or play with an uneven or zig zag
part.
5. Change your fringe. Add one or
subtract one. Or wear it to the side.
6. Opt for texture changes. Add
waves, curls or a combo for an instant change to your
look. Or go stick straight and sleek.
7. Add lots of volume. Add fullness
around the crown or the sides and the crown for a
completely different look.
8. Change the color. Go lighter,
darker or play with highlights and lowlights. If
you don't want to permanently change, use temporary
rinses or pin some fun multi-hued colors in with random
hair strands.
9. Tuck hair behind the ears. Try it
with one or both ears for a sassy look.
10. Weave accent braids along the fringe area.
Or pop in add-on tiny braids to function as instant
headbands or perimeter accent pieces.
11. Play with Zulu Knots. Try just a
few or go wild and do your entire head.
12. Brush all hair to one side. Use a
brush to direct hair to one side and then pin or clip in
place.
13. Create a faux mohawk. Even if it
is a little one, use gel or the styling product of your
choice to create a fun hawk.
14. Change your styling product selections.
Experiment with gels for a wet look, wax for a pieced
out look, mousse for a soft swingy look or a cream for a
carefully finished look.
15. Add finger waves. Either a few
along the side or all over the head.
16. Pin a silk or real flower over one ear. Or
go wild and group a few right in the front of your
fringe or along your crown.
17. Experiment with hair accessories.
Try headbands, hair clips, bobby pins or other fun hair
accessories.
18. Wear a sizzling newsboy cap. Cock
it to one side. Or match it with a under the cap
durag for a radical look.
19. Try a durag or bandana. These
work best when you have a great shaped head. If
you feel comfortable with this style of headwear, give
it a whirl.

20. Crimp your hair.
Add just a few crimps or do the entire head.
21. Play with mini-pompadors or mini-quiffs.
Why not experiment with one along the hairline or at the
back near the crown.
22. Twist in a few temporary dreads. Even
one can make a statement.
23. Braid wet strands. Let them air
dry and go with lots of natural waves.
22. Create a mini pony. Or try a few
carefully spaced.
23. Separate hairline strands into tiny
sections. Twist gently to form a unique
hairband. Hold in place with tiny jaw or claw
clips.
24. Scrunch your strands. Even super
short hair can benefit from crunching.
25. Consider an asymetrical cut.
26. Add spikes. Even better, make
them soft and messy.
Summary
Just because you have a chin length bob or shorter it
doesn't mean that you can't instantly create a new look.
Experiment with some of the ideas above to completely
change your short hair in an instant. Remember,
have fun and be willing to experiment. |
