How To Get Anne Hathaway’s Modernized Bob

The hot new hairstyle that celebrities are sporting is the modernized, layered bob as seen on Anne Hathaway, Gwyneth Paltrow and Jennifer Garner. Formerly forbidden since the 70s, this cut is making a strong comeback this season celebs are growing out their layered bobs to hit just above the collarbone. This cut creates beautiful lines by emphasizing your neck and shoulders.

This is how to get Anne Hathaway’s modernized bob by Frederic Fekkai’s Adir Abergel:

To get this modern day bob look, you need a good volumizer like Frederic Fekkai’s Fekkai Coiff Bouffant to use all over the roots and dry hair upside down to create fullness.  Adir then wrapped hair around a 1″ curling iron, making sure to leave the ends out to create a relaxed curl. To soften this look you can add a slight wave by using Frederic Fekkai’s Coiff Oceanique Tousled Wave Spray to modernize texture and take it away from soccer mom territories.

“Clients should ask for a choppier bob so it’s not so blunt, but rather has texture on the ends with longer layers that frame the face for body,” says Adir. “The long bob can become soccer mom-esque if it is too blunt, so make sure your stylist removes some bulk from hair by chops into the ends.”

KEVAN HALL

Hair lead: Andy Bodine for ghd.

“Timeless American”-Kevan Hall

Watch my interview with ghd’s lead hair stylist, Andy Bodine, backstage at Kevan Hall during LA Fashion Week.

The Look:
Inspired by Adrian, a famous costume designer of the 20’s, 30’s and 40’s, the collection featured classic, chic designs with a modern take.

The ghd Way:
Loose waves with a deep side part pulled into a low chignon for a glamorously feminine look to compliment the collection.

First, the ghd Directive Team applied ghd fat hair lotion to models’ dry hair. The product was then heat activated using a blow dryer with a diffuser attachment, which created body and texture. Next, a light mist of ghd sea spray was worked through the hair to infuse even more texture and hold. Using the ghd IV styler, a slight finger wave was created by gently rocking the styler back and forth starting at the crown and continuing all the way to the ends. Hair was pulled back at the nape of the neck and secured in a ponytail. Then, ghd polishing serum was applied to the ponytail to smooth out any flyaways as the hair was then twisted into a low chignon and secured with bobby pins. Finally, ghd ultimate hairspray was used to finish and hold the look.

WHITLEY KROS

Hair lead: Andy Bodine for ghd.

“A romantic adventure through Morocco, Africa and Greece”-Marissa Ribisi & Sophia Coloma, Whitley Kros designers.

The Look:
Relaxed, colorful, and all-around fun to reflect Whitley’s safari adventures in Africa and a romantic Grecian getaway.

The ghd Way:
A laid-back, soft and textured top knot with loose ends-perfect for Whitley Kros’ whimsical, yet chic traveling style.

First, the ghd Directive Team sprayed ghd sea spray into hair, then blow dried to create texture. Hair was then finger-combed into a high ponytail for a slightly messy effect. ghd polishing serum was applied to ends of the ponytail to tame flyaways, and the hair was then twisted into a knot and secured with bobby pins, leaving the ends free. A final light mist of ghd ultimate hairspray finished and secured the look.

ghd’s revolutionary styling irons and thermal protecting hair beauty range are available at great salons across the globe and in Sephora, as well as online at www.ghdhair.com  and www.sephora.com .
