Pretty Little Thing Creative Director and former Love Island star Molly-Mae Hague is known for changing up her hairstyle on the regular, whether she’s sporting a super long ponytail, lengthy mermaid waves or a choppy bob.
Most recently, the 22 year old unveiled a seriously on-trend hairstyle in the form of a razor sharp short bob that sat just above her shoulders, captioning an Instagram snap of the look with, “Assignment: SHORT SHORT”.
Although some fans initially thought that Molly-Mae had trimmed her hair even more, having stepped out with a shorter layered cut only a matter of days before, the bob was actually created with the help of a cool extensions technique. OK! caught up with hairdresser, Jack Luckhurst, who exclusively revealed how he created the look on the star.
“When we booked this shoot in for Molly-Mae’s latest collection with Pretty Little Thing, I envisioned a super cropped bob for one of the days. I spoke to her and she was happy to go ahead – but she just didn’t want to cut her natural hair!” he explained, adding that the star is trying to grow her natural hair out.
“So to create the super cropped bob, I started by braiding all of her hair to the scalp, including the sides, leaving the smallest strands of hair through the parting and the front. I then started to apply Beauty Works clip-ins in her shade ‘Molly-Mae’ to the nape of her head and proceeded to do this all the way up until the thickness was how I wanted.”
This technique meant that none of the star’s natural hair would need to be cut for the look.
Jack continued, “Molly likes to keep her head shape the same and not look bulky, so to keep it super flat I applied some tape extensions also from Beauty Works to the front for a seamless finish, and then proceeded to cut them to the desired length.
“Once happy with the length we opted for a blunt, straight style to show off just how sharp this haircut really was. Molly is super versatile and loves to switch up her hair from short to super long – I’ve created so many different hairstyles for her,” he added.
There you have it. It’s incredible what extensions can do – even we have to admit that Molly’s blunt bob looked super realistic!
Only time will tell what she’ll do with her hair next…
