Us Magazine shares with us Kate Gosselin‘s new rounded bob. Reportedly, Kate took out her extensions and is sporting this new look for one day only. The new style is in preparation for Kate’s Dancing With the Stars debut March 22. According to Ted Gibson who originally put $7000 hair extensions in Kate’s hair this past January, “We’re taking them out and we’re not putting them back in until Thursday, so she’ll have short hair for a day,” he told RadarOnline, adding that he planned on using “three different shades of blonde, a caramel, a beige blond and a little bit of a lighter blonde.”
I asked Beauty Task Force member and keratin hair treatment/extension specialist, Jordana Lorraine her thoughts on Kate’s new do:
“It is understandable that Kate would want a fresh set before dancing in front of the cameras, which catch every detail. It’s also a good idea to remove, color, then wait a day or two before replacing extensions. They may also be changing the color a bit, and hopefully will go straight to a style Kate can manage…along with professional help, I’m sure, at least on the DWTS set.
If I were doing Kate’s extensions, I would use less hair than the first set she had, and keep it at collarbone-length with lots of layers. ”
Kate is just one of many celebrities going for the round bob, if only temporarily. In Daily Makeover‘s feature “Return of the Bowl Haircut“, associate editor Megan McIntyre shares with us who else has embraced this look:
The bowl cut, which has been a popular hairstyle in decades past, seems to be enjoying a comeback of sorts as a bevy of hip, young celebs have been seen sporting the look around town. One glance at this retro round bob probably has you wondering what could possibly prompt chic young ladies like Agyness Deyn, Estelle, Parker Posey and Christina Ricci to don a short hairstyle that gives off such a distinct whiff of 70′s cheese.
We definitely never thought we’d be seeing a good chunk of Hollywood embrace the rounded bangs, but we’re even more shocked to say that we kind of like the look. It’s got a slightly sexy, a little bit brooding, definitely retro vibe that keeps our eyes entranced. Part of this reason, at least according to celebrity hairstylist Sam Brocato, is that the cut practically begs you to stare at its wearer’s face. “Because of the shape of the cut, you just can’t help looking into someone’s eyes. It has a mystique that draws you in–it’s very 20′s and vampy. It’s also a way of adding some edginess to your look without doing hard, strong lines,” he says.
Want to try the look at home? If you don’t have bangs, Brocato suggests purchasing a pair of clip-on bang extensions as they are a major portion of the hairstyle. The key to this look is in the layering and the roundness, so start off by taking the very top layer of hair and use a large round brush to roll the edges over, section by section. Brocato says you can also use an extra-large curling iron in the same fashion to create a stronger curve. After you curl it, run some styling cream through your hair, then blast it quickly with a blowdryer to soften the curl and create that big, super-round style.
What do you think of this hairstyle trend? I’m not a fan of the cut in general but I actually think I prefer it over Kate’s extensions. Kate’s bangs look great, a sideswept bang has my vote for this hairstyle!
