HAIR TRENDS

Vanessa Hudgens had a liquid bob at the SAG Awards (and it was created using a pro insider trick)

Here's how to fake it…

Vanessa Hudgens' liquid bob hairstyle at this evening's SAG Awards was easily one of our favourite looks of the night. The next-level shine, the immaculately straight, ultra blunt shape, the smart ear-tuck. It may have been simple, but the execution was something else and we're book-marking it to take to our next salon visit.

But… want to know a secret? It was totally faux. We wondered whether Nessa had opted for a chop, since the last clear shot of her hair on Instagram six days ago shows the actress with a glam curly lob. However, this latest style shows the cut sliced above her shoulders.

Luckily, her hairstylist, Danielle Priano, documented the whole process, and showed a sneaky trade secret along the way. She started by sectioning the top, shorter section of Vanessa's hair up out the way into a bun. Then, Danielle braided the longer sections at the bottom into plaits that could be discretely tucked and fastened out the way.

Next, Danielle clipped hair extensions from @glamseamless over the top before hiding the seam with Vanessa's natural hair on top.

Everything was combed neatly together to blend the extensions with Vanessa's real hair and Danielle straightened everything into a silky-straight bob.

To give the look the trademark liquid hair shine that's set to be stratospheric for 2022, she spritzed the Sexy Hair Smooth & Seal Shine & Anti Frizz Spray through Vanessa's hair to leave it looking extra glossy, before setting everything in place with the Sexy Hair hairspray.

So, if you want in on a shoulder-baring liquid bob, just without the commitment, the secret's out.
