Nina Dobrev has been going through a hair transformation for the last year or so, as she chopped off a formidable amount of length in January of 2017 and (seemingly) hasn't looked back since. She's gone shorter and shorter since that first cut, finally getting a chic bob with blunt bangs back in September for the movie Lucky Day, but now, it seems she may be looking to grow her length back out a bit. She just had a visit with stylist Chris McMillan and he gave her a gorgeous haircut that not only looks great now but will also work to help her grow out her bob seamlessly.
McMillan posted the cut on his own Instagram, saying, "Best way to grow out your bob. Face-framing layers and add a few long layers." He was kind enough to speak with Allure about this particular cut and why he chose it for Dobrev, and he said that the cut is perfect for all hair textures. "I always start with face-framing, then the long layers are created by just basically holding the hair up and cutting off the corners."
When asked how he determines how short to take the face-framing layers, he described what he calls his "dot-to-dot" method, which is created by using the corners of the bangs to determine where the first layer falls. McMillan said of Dobrev, "She's amazing. [Her hair] is actually a work in progress. Instead of bobbing her to let her bangs grow out I softened her blunt bangs and softened her bob to create a new shag look."
McMillan also told Allure that he believes this iteration of the shag is the next big hair trend, so keep your eyes peeled. He says of this particular cut, "It allows the hair to be more natural with less maintenance, and it's fresh and modern. Also, I was just in Paris and noticed all the cool girls on the streets were wearing their hair more this direction." You heard it here first.
