Haircut to Covet: Gwyneth's Long Bob
Tuesday May 20, 2008
Ok, forget Reese's bangs, now I want to grow them out and get Gwyneth Paltrow's sophisticated long bob, which she showed off today in Cannes. Bobs are hot, but this longer version is terribly sexy and simple. She parts the hair in the middle and the cut is at an angle -- a tad shorter in back than in front. Her naturally wavy hair is then flat-ironed to sleek perfection. What you need for this look:
1. A large, rounded brush (don't curl the ends too far under, lest you end up looking like an 80's throwback).
2. A decent flat iron.
3. A gloss spray for after you iron. Bumble and Bumble discontinued their Gloss (why? why?), but their new Shine spray gets high marks in the industry

Great catch on Gwyneth’s new bob hairstyle. I’m loving it as well! It’s such a nice change from all that long hair she had.
As a quick tip for your readers–if you want to create this style but have naturally wavy hair you might want to invest in a straightening product to help get rid of curls during the blow drying stage.
I reviewed AG’s Set It Straight and was really pleased with the results.
Great post!
