Drawing inspiration from the hair style trends of our favorite stars and 
celebrities has become a national pass time. One such star style is 
Annette Bening. Perhaps more then any Hollywood actress, Annette 
has always made it a point of wearing an easy to style versatile hair do’. 
Her perky short tousled style with sun kissed highlights gives this 
American Beauty a stylish look in a grown up way.  

TO GET THE LOOK: If you’re still wearing the same hair do’ for what 
may seem like forever and are thinking about getting a short trendy hair 
style for your time challenged life style, try Annette’s sexy wind blown’ 
style with sun kissed accents and watch heads turn when you show up 
with your new do’. Talk about easy, this perky do’ almost styles itself. 
To get the look, let’s take it one step at a time; starting with a custom style 
cut and shaping. 

LET’S SHAPE IT: For those that might have second thoughts about 
cutting their long locks because you think it may look to masculine, 
Annette’s tousled style with soft feathered sides and neckline gives 
it a totally sexy feminine look. With a few adjustments (trims), as it 
grows you can find the ideal length and shape for your facial features.

LET’S STYLE IT:  Annette’s style is ideal for the time challenged and 
takes less than five minutes to get the look. Start with a dab of mousse 
or shaping gel for style support. Comb either through damp hair and 
shape to dry au natural or give it a quick blow dry and flip up the ends 
with a small round brush. To turn up the glam, add diamond studded 
ear rings with lip gloss and you’ve got this American beauty’s star style!  

NOW, LET’S COLOR IT: Movie actresses change their hair color often 
for the many roles they play so dying their hair is no big deal. If your hair has lost its luster and beginning to gray around the edge like Annette’s, 
a rich auburn tint will wash the gray away and define the shape. Next, 
golden and honey blonde highlights are sprinkled around the face with 
a foil weaving technique to give it a natural sun kissed look and turn the 
style bar up a notch. After, a clear glaze seals-in the color and turn on 
the shine. To keep it up, the new growth is tinted every six weeks and highlighting touched up every three month. Include color and sun kissed accents to your perky tousled do’ and you’ve got the look.

Now that you have a short tousled style and a totally sexy feminine one to boot, think of all the time you'll save. This trendy “time saving” do’ almost styles itself. Just comb and go or a quick blow dry and a dab of shaping gel or spray gives it dressy look. How fast is that? Changing your hair color to a rich auburn with golden and honey blonde highlights has made your gray far less noticeable and kicked the style bar up a notch. Your short perky wind blown’ do' topped off with sun kissed highlights, diamond studded ear rings and lip gloss is sure to turn heads and get rave reviews when you show up looking oh so chic and years younger with Annette's perky color and style.
