Michelle Obama’s Faux Short and Sassy ‘Do

Rihanna and Halle Berry have helped to popularize shorter hair styles among African-American women. Now Michelle Obama has hopped on the short cut bandwagon….sort of. At first glance, I thought the First Lady took a bold step and cut her hair. But after a Google search, I quickly learned that Michelle achieved her “faux bob” using bobby pins.

Michelle Obama reveals her short hair cut at Country Music Night at the White House.
I like the way the shorter style frames and softens her face, however, if Ms. Obama really decides to go for a trim, I’d recommend a blunter cut.
But if you like the look, you too can achieve it at home using Soft & Beautiful hair care products. Here’s how:
- Apply Soft & Beautiful StyleProtect Spritz on wet hair from roots to ends. Blow-dry hair with a medium sized round brush, to create volume and lift.
- Gather hair in a loose pony at the nape and tuck under, pinning with bobby pins as you go.
- Finish with Soft & Beautiful Oil Sheen Spray to leave hair looking healthy and vibrant!
