How Elizabeth Olsen’s Faux Bob Had Me Thinking She Cut Her Hair Short

Elizabeth Olsen, known for her enigmatic persona, keeps her fans intrigued with her new looks by avoiding the social media frenzy. She has been spotted on various shows and around New York City lately, promoting her new miniseries, Love & Death. Among her appearances, one particular faux bob hairstyle has caught everyone’s attention.

Initially, Olsen was seen with loose waves reaching a few inches past her shoulders, but she recently surprised everyone with a chic, chin-length faux bob hairstyle. This clever hair transformation had everyone talking, trying to decipher the secret behind her sudden hair makeover.

Upon closer inspection, it was evident that the faux bob hairstyle resulted from an ingenious technique. Instead of curling the ends under and pinning them, hairstylist DJ Quintero had a unique approach. The secret behind Olsen’s faux bob hairstyle was revealed during her appearance on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert – her hair was tucked into her collar.

Quintero shared with Allure that Olsen wanted the faux bob hairstyle achieved by tucking her hair into her collar. He used texture spray and hairspray to avoid any weird “bubbles” on TV, specifically Living Proof Flex Hairspray. He then loosely braided the bottom of her hair and secured it with an elastic. “We tucked it in, and I prayed it wouldn’t move! She’s a real pro because it didn’t,” he added.

While the faux bob hairstyle may not be the most comfortable choice for everyone, as it could feel sweaty and pull with every neck twist, it’s a testament to Olsen’s dedication to hair versatility. Her impressive faux bob hairstyle proves she’s even more of a superhero than we previously thought.
