If you
make the decision to go super short you'll find a whole
new world of options to select from. This will include
styling products, tools and techniques.
Some
styling products are specifically designed to work with
very short hair. Styling products for very short
hair can be used equally by women and men.
Molding
muds, which used to be very popular a few years ago,
have faded from the scene and have been replaced by
styling creams, a variety of pastes, waxes and gels.
Styling
mousse is very popular and has been refined to include
many different types.
Whether
you wish to go with a soft finish or take maximize the
texture, as done if this first style, you need to first
start with a precision short cut.

This
very short hairstyle was cut with a combination of a
scissors or shears with some detailing done around the
face line and the perimeter with a razor.
The
front of the style has a forehead hugging fringe while
the interior has short layers. The hair in back is
cut down to hug the nape of the neck.
This
short style also offers the advantage to really play up
hair color, whether your own or an added hue.
Working
with hair color is important because it can add the
appearance of fullness and dimension to thin or fine
strands.
In the
case of this style, a medley or rich dark reds have been
carefully layered to create a glimmering of shine and
highlights.
Short Style Rules

This style works best for hair that is
medium in volume and fine to medium in texture.
This style is not recommended for hair
that is super thick or naturally wavy or curly.
It works best for face shapes that are
oval or slightly round.
In the non-Idol world, performers
ranging from Ashlee Simpson to Mariah Carey are
constantly changing their hair length, color and styles.
It signals a part of their evolution as performance
artists.
One question that popped up on various
chats was whether or not the lovely Katharine had hair
enhancements. Of course these days it is
impossible to say for sure, but regardless, her strands
looked healthy, shiny and perfectly coiffed, especially
at the end of the contest.
Steal This Short Style
Pushing for more details Robert gave me
all the steps to Lucy's easy style:
1. Shampoo
Lucy starts by washing her hair in
lukewarm water with
Robert's New Shine Booster Shampoo - which Robert
said "she likes even better than the original formula".
2. Condition
Lucy applies the New Shine Booster
Conditioner and then rinses well.
3. Towel Blot
Using a thick towel to blot excess
moisture, Lucy detangles her tresses and then applies
Dream Cream.
4. Finger Pick, Push & Scrunch
Once Lucy has applied the
Dream Cream, she lets her hair "air dry" using her
fingers to push her damp strands from the ends to the
roots to give her new Bob lots of natural texture.
Lucy has medium thick strands that have a lot of "bend"
which means that scrunching with air-drying will create
lots of sexy natural texture.
5. Spray Is Optional
I asked Robert what other products Lucy
might use to recreate this style. He said that she
will sometimes spritz her air-dried hair with his
Rawhold Hairspray to give it a little more finished
look.
The beauty of her short new bob is that
it is versatile and can be worn scrunched, tousled,
slightly flicked or silky and finished.
6. Dress It Up
While Lucy's new short bob haircut is
fabulous for her busy but focused lifestyle (pursuing
various private projects), she may still be required at
times to dress up her Bob for photo ops or strolls down
various Red Carpets.
When Lucy wants to dress up her Bob
style Robert said "she can skip the finger picking and
scrunching to utilize a round boar's bristle brush with
her blow dryer to create a more finished and sleeker
style". Using the round brush, Lucy can build in
instant volume and fullness along the crown.
One way that Lucy can can some great
volume along the roots is to utilize Robert's
Super Volumizing Tonic.
7. Adding Shine & Glamour
For very special events Lucy can combine
a round brush and blow dried look with a few passes with
either a curling or flat iron to create different
textures.
Robert noted that for a really dressy
finish she can add a few drops of his
Love That Shine Drops or optionally
Love The Shine Spray for instant glisten, shimmer
and dazzle.
8. Accessorize
Lucy's sizzling new bob is the perfect
length for either the latest headbands or for a silk
flower. Robert reported that at his last
hair show in LA that "everyone seemed to be wearing
either
headbands,
silk flowers or some type of
hair accessory".
Robert confided that one of the very
great things about Lucy Liu is that she has fantastic
style and self confidence which is a major part of her
overall beauty."
Summary
You heard the Lucy Liu Bob scoop first here and directly from the
mouth of Lucy's Celebrity hairdresser, Robert Hallowell who
personally razored Lucy's new style.
The short Bob hairstyle is back in fashion and getting hotter by the
minute. One of the great things about a precision cut Bob, as
Robert Hallowell so helpfully explained is that it can be a wash and
wear style that requires just a good styling cream and some finger
flexing to create lots of sexy natural texture.
