London - She’s riding a wave of popularity at the moment. And so is Jennifer Lawrence’s new hairstyle.
The 24-year-old Hunger Games star, who has been blonde, brunette, straight and curly over the past few years, is now showing off a “wob” – or wavy bob.
Not too short and not too long, the style frames her face with flattering waves.
And she is not alone. The gently tousled shorter style has been adopted by a string of American stars in recent weeks, including Beyonce, 33, and Taylor Swift, 24.
According to stylists, the cut has a fuller look than the “lob” or long bob, which was popular last year, and is much easier to care for than longer hair.
“There is a lot of sexy short hair on the red carpet now and I adore it because it’s such a modern take on femininity,” said hairdresser Julien Farel.
“It’s also fun to see more women trying shorter hairstyles now that the wavy bob has surfaced on so many different types of faces.”
Edward Tricomi, co-founder of Warren Tricomi Salons, added that because it can be grown out quickly, the style is a “short hair look without the commitment”.
He added that those wanting a more tousled style should use sea salt spray to add texture to their hair, while those who want more refined curls should use a finishing cream.
And it may have the feel of a crop, but Lawrence’s wob was still long enough to be pulled into an elegant “up do” for the premiere of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 in London this week. . - Daily Mail
