The
beautiful blonde "younger sister" of Alyson Hannigan in
the American Pie sequence - American Wedding, was
actually born in January (1-5-78), which probably
explains her name.
The American
Blonde Beauty actress is truly an all American girl
having grown up in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. One
of her earliest jobs was working at the local Dairy
Queen.
If we are to
believe her bio, January's roles as the "good girls" in
American Wedding is completely opposite of who she
really is in her private life.
The actress dated
Ashton Kutcher for three years and is currently filming
on the set of We Are....Marshall where she plays the
wife of assistant coach Red Dawson.
January initially
caught my eye because of her very blonde, chin length,
modified bob hairstyle. My first memory of this up
and coming star was in her role in Anger Management with
Jack Nicholson and Adam Sandler. I then
enjoyed her with her long tresses in American Wedding,
which she told the media "was not her own hair".
In fact, she was wearing a wig for American Wedding
although it was close in color to her own hair at the
time of the filming.

January morphed into a short sassy style with
perimeter waves and curls for the Premiere of The
Three Burials Of Melquiades. Cutting the length to
chin level, her modified bob features longer graduated
layers around the hairline which instantly flattered and
defined her square shaped face. She also went with a
stunning deep side part and a full sweep of side fringe
that nestled over the top of one eyebrow. Her
beautifully highlighted blonde tresses radiated
spectacular shine.
A week later at the
5th Annual Adopt A Minefield event, January
straightened her modified bob adding a soft open flip on
one side with the opposite side softly curving into
towards her chin.
Recalibrating her
part, January brushed them over to one side and up off
her forehead pulling the long ends behind her ears.
Just a few simple changes provided her with a completely
different look.

Which demonstrates
instantly how versatile January's blonde chin-length
layered bob hair style really is.
Even though January's tresses were chin length, she
pulled off yet a completely different short hair style
just two days later on November 17th at Escada's 2006
Spring/Summer Collection. Pulling her bangs snug
to her forehead and anchoring them to one side, she
directed both sides of her hair behind her ears and
pulled the tresses into a small nape level twist.
Her hair worked perfectly with her black lace gown and
long tear drop style earrings.
Her fourth look was sexy, sassy and uninhibited to match
her low V Neck metallic dress that she wore at the 2006
Vanity Fair Party. Her hair was definitely a
brighter shade of blonde and still styled into a
short chin length bob. Wearing one side behind her
ear, the other side was swept over and covered most of
her eye, Veronica Lake style. The look was fresh, fun
and definitely sensual.

January turned a modified chin length bob into four
different hair looks for four completely different
events.
A
key step to stealing January's style is to work with
your favorite hairdresser to create a bob style that
works with your face shape, lifestyle and product
budget. A great hairstyle always starts with a
great cut.
Complete the following steps to re-create January's
short bob styles:
1.
Use your
favorite shampoo with warm, not hot water, and use a
volumizing shampoo (like
PhytoVolume or
PhytoMousse Volume shampoo) that builds in lots of
lush body.
If your hair is thick or full or has other needs (dry,
chemically damaged) select the shampoo that works
best for your hair's
special requirements.
If you prefer, use a diluted shampoo formulation or
conditioner only.
Note: A conditioning only step may make
hair sleeker. Consider this if lots of volume is
your focus.
3. Skip a rinse-out conditioning step unless your hair
is chemically damaged and requires a leave-in
conditioner.
Remember, while a rinse-out conditioner builds in
softness and adds back moisture, it works again lots of
hair fullness and volume. Skip this step to
guarantee maximum volume.
4. Finish with a cool/cold water rinse to instant shine
and help swell the cuticle.
5. Towel blot hair to remove excess moisture but
leave hair damp enough to apply appropriate volume
enhancing styling products. If your hair tends to
frizz, apply a
good defrisant product
like
Phytodefrisant of similar. If your hair
requires a good
leave-in conditioner, apply a little to the ends or
the areas that need the most moisture.

6. Apply a baseball sized dollop of
volumizing mousse to the palms of your hands. Work
into your strands completely from the roots to the
ends. Add a volumizing product to the roots like
Phytovolume Actif Spray if your strands tend to be
limp or lank.
7. Bend over at the waist and blow-dry your hair upside
down against the direction of your hair's natural
growth. Focusing your attention on the roots is
key because that it what helps to create lots of
volume.
If you prefer not to bend over, separate hair into small
one inch sections and use your hands to lift the hair up
at the roots. Direct the blow dryer up the hair shaft
from the ends to the roots to ruffle the cuticle and
make it swell.
8. When hair is completely dry, carefully smooth hair
into place using a pick or tail of a comb to avoid
flattening your new volume.
Apply a light spritz of
soft hold hairspray. A light application of
shine spray can be added but be careful to only use
a little to avoid weighing hair down or causing it to
attract debris.
If you hair is not as full as you would like you have
additional options.
These include:
1. Backcombing Your Strands.
2. Using Velcro
Brand
(a registered trademark of
Velcro Industries B.V.)
or similar style Hook & Loop
Rollers that self grip hair.
3. Hot Rollers or Irons.
Experiment with one or all of the additional volume
building options for your hair.

The key to
January's hairstyles always starts with her array of
side hair parts.
Experiment with
deep side parts and sweeping the fringe across the
forehead covering all or part of one eye.
Also try moving
the part higher up the scalp more towards the middle of
the head. Sweeping the hair over from a different
parting will provide a completely different look.
January
recalibrates her styles slightly be using a curling iron
to create big soft curls around the perimeter of her
bob. She also uses a straight iron to get a
different texture.
 To
really change up your look, do as January has done for
some of her movie roles and pop on a
gorgeous silk flower hair clip.
For the soft flip
style, use a round brush while blow drying and slightly
roll tresses around the brush while drying.
Summary
January Jones is blonde, beautiful and has a stunning
short chin length bob. Even better, the talented
actress who continues to move up way up the acting
ladder, creatively coifs her bob into a number of
stellar looks that range from sassy and fun to classy
and sophisticated. Take a hint from January and
try on some of her gorgeous styles. |
