Kristin Cavallari's Short Hair Style

A teenaged Kristin Cavallari sports the quintessential Californian beach babe look. This mid length bob with its chipped ends is very modern.

The long side fringe is totally in vogue, angling down in a very long layer towards her right side, dropping over one eye and flicking back from the cheek. It works really well for Kristin Cavallari, but it's not for everyone.

Her hair is cut at a steep angle through the back, and the use of texturizing scissors shows through the front.

This is exactly the messy, 'just-out-of-bed-look' that is wanted by so many and yet is so hard to achieve. As always, the messier the hairstyle, the more work has gone into creating it. Very few people have this look naturally, but product helps.

Lighting can make the hair color look harder or softer. In these photos Kristin's foils have two colors, with more gold in one and a lighter blonde in the other. Gold adds warmth to the overall hair color, but it's also needed here for contrast.

This hairstyle is something of a chameleon - when Kristin tilts her head in this picture, for instance, her hair seems longer on one side and it looks like she's wearing a completely different hair cut.

To get this hairstyle: Use volumizing product to lift the roots with the blow dryer and use round and paddle brushes. Then flip it up, smooth it down, flick it sideways or scrunch it. This is a versatile haircut, and there are many variations to the look. Use finishing pomade for definition.

Kristin Cavallari might look like this naturally but she would never chance her luck on the red carpet. This beautiful, messy bob has been carefully and precisely styled.
