Alicia Witt has become famous for her
range of short haircuts that she has worn in splendid
glory over the past few years.
Alicia Witt is a beautiful actress who
plays Mimi Lockhart
on NBC's
Days Of Our Lives.
Indeed, Alicia Witt has a very hot short
hair cut and style that is constantly being requested
hair salons across the US. Hairdressers have reported
that Alicia Ryan has a hair cut that is all the rage.
Alicia's Short Hair Cut
At first glance you might think that
Alicia has a short bob cut. According to
Celebrity Hairdresser Robert Hallowell who has
not worked with Alicia directly, this is not a classic
bob style. A "classic" bob is a cut that is one
length from the roots of the hair to the ends, all
over the head. Of course there are modified bobs,
inverted bobs and a variety of bob flavors that do not
necessarily follow the "classic' bob definition as
defined by Vidal Sassoon so many years ago.
Alicia's cut could be classified simply
as a short layered choppy cut. If you look closely
you will see that the beautiful actress has strands that
are different lengths around the perimeter of her short
cut. She has shorter lengths right along her face
line.

Even before Alicia unveiled her Spring
2006 short hair cut, she made waves back in November of
2003 (see image below) with a slightly different medium
short hair version. The short to medium cut that
she adopted in 2003 appeared to be longer than her 2006
version.
For her 2003 cut, her hair was cropped into a clean layered
cut with longer layers at the perimeter that were lightly flicked up.
Her hair color was a soft chocolate brown highlighted
with ribbons of buttery blonde. She wore her hair
with a side part and side swept bangs.
Her November 2003 style complimented her
face shape which appears to have many elements of a
square shape including a more narrow chin with well
defined cheeks. The length of her short to medium
2003 style softly draped over her cheeks which provided
an excellent balance to her face and made her gorgeous
eyes pop.
A few months after Alicia appeared at the
Annual Commie Awards in November she appeared at the
31st Annual Daytime Emmy Awards in May of 2004 with her
slightly longer tresses slicked back into a sleek knot
with volume along the crown.

The beautiful soap star continued to
experiment with her tresses over time flirting with a
range of hair hues that covered the milk chocolate to
butter blonde ranges. She also played with
different lengths adopting highlights and lowlights that
worked with her style of the moment.
Her pulled back sleek look was a great
option for her gorgeous black gown.
By the Summer of 2004 the highlighted
brunette decided to go blonde just in time for the
Summer. She also let her blunt cut grow out and
she adopted a more tousled and careful look.
Actually, Alicia's look was pure
California Girl and appropriate for long lazy days at
the beach.
Besides going a lot lighter blonde,
growing out her blunt cut, the newly minted California
blonde changed up her part, adopting a center part with
long strands cascading down along the top of her cheeks
on either side.

Between July of 2004 and late April of
2006 the talented soap star continued to play with a
variety of lengths ranging from a light Merlot hued wavy
style that she wore below her shoulders to her latest
short cut which is displayed at the very top of this
article.
Alicia has a face, skin and eye coloring
that allows her to easily flit back and forth between
hair hues, lengths and styles.
Her fans appear to love her regardless
of her hairstyle or hue but she garners a lot of
attention when she wears her hair in her signature short
cut completely with carefully placed ribbons of blonde
highlights that show off the brilliant blunt edges of
her short cut.
Steal Alicia's Short Hair Cut
Cebrity Hairdresser Robert Hallowell when
quizzed about Farah's current 2006 cut said "it looks like
Alicia has
some sort of layered look with the outlining edge that
has been razored".

Keep in mind that depending on your hair
texture and type your hair may or may not respond well
to razor cutting.
Note: If you're Alicia's
hairdresser and would be willing to discuss her fabulous
cut with HairBoutique.com - lets talk - please
email me.
Robert agreed with my observation that
Alicia has a face that works with short to medium length
hairstyles.
Although Alicia's current 2006
hair style shows her with a deep side part, her
haircut would allow her to play with the style so that
she could part her hair down the middle or to the other
side. This allows her to change up her image
instantly. She can also build in some texture for a
different look.
Whether worn with or without the
side-swept strands, the style is perfect with her
classic square shaped face and gorgeous features.

Robert suggested Alicia's 2006 short hair style could
be recreated with "a similar precision cut short haircut while utilizing his
Super Volumizing Tonic at the roots, blow drying
with a round brush and then finished with his famous
Dream Cream to get a really nice chunky look on the
ends".
For that super watt shine like Alicia's
Robert suggests his
Love That Shine Spray which is one of my own
personal favorites because of its non-greasy lightness.
Robert recommended the steps below to re-create
Alicia's hair style:
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.

3. Finish with a cool/cold rinse
to lock in moisture and add additional shine.
4. 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.
Note: If your hair is prone to frizzing apply a
defrisant product or mix with your other styling
products.
5. 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. One of my personal favorites is
Super Volumizing Tonic.
6. Working from side to side
separate strands into 1/2 to 1" uniform sections .
Use a natural boar's head round brush along with your
blow dryer (set on a medium cool setting to avoid over
blowing the style) to build in lots of natural volume and
movement. Roll the strands around the
brush and direct air flow up the hair shaft for maximum
movement and volume.
7. When hair is completely dry.
separate into strands that are 1/2 to 1" in thickness.
Tease the hair along the top of the hair and the
hairline to get lots of fullness.

Use a straightening iron to create a
sleek look throughout the side and back strands that are
left loose. If you prefer, use a curling iron
instead to create soft curls or waves.
8. When hair is styled to your
liking apply a
shine serum,
shine spray or
hair cream
to seal in moisture and add that shimmering shine
similar to Alicia's. Keep in mind that a good
cream like
Dream Cream will help to
hold curls or waves around the perimeter of the
style.
9. Finish with a
cute headband or a combination of
hair accessories designed for short hair. Embellish
with
a hair flower if you dare.
Hairspray
is optional but if you chose to use it, apply before any
hair accessories.
