Radha Mitchell who hails originally from
Melbourne, Victoria, Australia (November 12, 2973) has
garnered a lot of recent attention for her role as
frantic mother Rose Da Silva in the uber spooky Silent
Hill.
Although Radha may not be a familiar
face to you, she has been acting since 1988 when she
appeared as Pixie Robinson in the TV series Sugar and
Spice. From that auspicious start, Radha moved
onto many other roles including the acclaimed Neighbours
set in an Australian neighborhood.
She had a great role in 2002's Phone Booth with Colin
Farrell, playing the poor suffering wife of the cheating
husband (Farrell).
Woody Allen took quite a shine to Radha's acting chops
and offered her the leading role of Melinda in his
critically acclaimed Melinda and Melinda. In that
film she also appeared with a different male Ferrell
(Will).
I took a special shine to Radha when I first saw her in
Phone Booth. Her role was not huge, but she
definitely was a presence and did a fine job. I
noticed her again in the Silent Hill promos and admired
the fact that Radha almost always wears her buttery
blonde tresses in a series of short bobs, crops and
chops. The shorter hairstyles suit her face and
body shape. She appears to have a face shape that
leans on the square jaw side. Her bobs tend to
extend to just below the cheekbone which works well to
highlight her beautiful bone structure.

Radha's current short hairstyle which she wore to the
premiere of Silent Hill is not a traditional bob.
Her style consists of a deep side part on one side with
a full sweep of fringe hair extending over the top of
the fair eyebrow.
One side is flirtatiously tucked behind one each
while the other side appears to have been finger tousled
to create the soft yet sassy movement.
The back of the style has been cut with a series of
graduated layers that lengthen from the crown to the
nape of the neck giving a full roundness to the back of
the shape.
Radha's hair has been skillfully highlighted and
lowlighted which add instant depth to the shimmering
blonde style.

If you would like to re-create Rahda's luscious short
bobbed hairstyle, follow the steps listed below:
1. Shampoo with product that is designed for
your hair's type, texture and current condition.
2. Rinse shampoo well and follow with an
application of
Shine Booster Conditioner.
Note: If your hair is thin, fine or tends to
collect grease, you may wish to skip this step or only
use a product that will work with your hair type.
Or you may only wish to "spot" condition.
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 or similar
leave-in conditioner product, working it into the
tresses with fingertips.
5. After the
Love That Shine Treatment Elixer or similar product
has been worked into the damp hair with fingers, add a
small dollop of
Flat Factor or similar product to the palms of your
hands and then working it into the hair on top of the
Love That Shine Treatment Elixer".
Do not cocktail the two products together since it
might weaken the integrity of each product. 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
Super Volumizing Tonic or a similar volumizing
product 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.
Using your head like a roller, direct 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.
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
separate hair into 1- 1 1/2" sections and back comb.
Smooth hair and finish with a spritz of
Love That Shine Spray."
