Stylin' With Sara Paxton

Glam and pert blonde actress Sara Paxton, first won teen hearts as mermaid Aquamarine. Lately we’ve rooted for and identified with her in a variety of really scary horror film roles (Last House on the Left, Shark Night, etc.).Sara recently cut her long blond hair and stunned the audience when she appeared on the red carpet, sporting a fabulous looking mini-bob hairstyle that she rocked in the creepy ghost story movie The Innkeepers.

TO GET THE LOOK: If you’re looking to trade in your long locks for an unfussy, sporty yet sophisticated hairstyle, take a styling lesson from Sara Paxton and watch heads turn when you show up with this adorable short hairstyle. If you’re ready for a new look, let’s take it one step at a time; starting with a custom style cut and shaping.

LET’S SHAPE IT:  This variation on the classic chin length bob has long layers through the crown and a full tapered neckline. The soft side-swept bangs add focus to eyes and cheekbones. It’s a versatile style cut that can be worn on or off the face making it ideal for active lifestyles. With a few adjustments (trims and tweaks) as it grows, you can easily find the ideal length for your face shape and features. 

LET’S STYLE IT: 

To put the style in motion, start with a dab of your favorite styling mousse for texture and give it a quick blow dry for volume and pin the bangs to the side with a colorful clip or bobby pin. For a dressy look, a few turns with a styling iron is all it takes. Start with small sections and slide the strands through your curling iron so that the end is at the bottom of the curling wand. This will give your hair a tighter curl on the ends and soft face-framing wave. Finish with a light hair spray or dab of hair polish, finger comb and you’re ready for any occasion.

NOW, LET’S COLOR IT:Sara’s fabulous hair color is no ordinary drug store hair color job. To give it a multi-tonal sun-kissed color Sara’s natural dishwater blonde hair color is lightened giving it a Honey blonde hue. For a natural look thin strips of blonde are added with a foil weaving technique. This bit of hair color magic will require a visit with a salon hair colorist and is well worth the extra time and expense for all the attention your get.

SARA PAXTON’S face-framing chin length mini-bob with side swept peek-a-boo bangs gives you a sporty yet sophisticated look. A quick blow dry and a once over with a curling iron and you’re ready for any occasion. The Honey blonde color and highlights look so au-natural it will have everyone wondering “does she or doesn’t she”. You’re sure to get rave reviews and make your BFFs green with envy when they see those dudes making a fuss over you and your new hair color and style.
