If you want to trick everyone into thinking that you have short hair this Halloween, or if you just like to play around with different styles without succumbing to scary scissors, this fabulous look is for you!
Last week's issue of Us Weekly featured a faux new 'do seen on Eva Longoria, Molly Sims and the newly blonde Nelly Furtado. Angelina Jolie is wearing this hairstyle on the set of her latest movie, Changeling, too.
This look is easy to achieve, even for amateurs—especially if you follow my four simple steps. To read the details on how to get the hocus pocus bob, read more
- STEP 1: Pull hair back into a low ponytail with a hair tie that blends in with the color of your hair. (Goody makes some inexpensive ones.)
- STEP 2: Tuck the ponytail under and secure it with bobby pins to hold your hair firmly in place.
- STEP 3: Next, pull a generous amount of hair from the tops and the sides to create the illusion that your hair is down.
- STEP 4: Lastly, curl the loose hairs with a curling iron so they shorten and look more voluminous. Mist your entire head with hairspray and then loosely pin back any extra long hairs to create an overall shorter appearance!

Hahaha hocus pocus!

I am definitely going to give this a whirl this weekend, thanks for the inspiration, my hair is pure Woodstock at the moment, long swirling curtains, I need a quick change!
2That is so cool! I just tried in and it works SO well. It looks like my hair is 10 inches shorter.
3Tip: Use a cap to help keep the pins in place, the back of the head is a tricky place for them to find hold. A newsboy cap looks cute. Also, I only have short pins, but I think longer ones would work better.
I like! So many ideas for what to wear it with*:D
4i definitely want to try this!
ps: i think angelina's hair is a wig.
5Cute idea. We'll see if my two-left handed self can manage to accomplish this...
6What would the back look like though? I'm having a hard time picturing it in my head. I mean, it might look great in a photo, but it the back is jacked up it wouldn't really work for 'real life'. Ya know?
7I'm going to try this for my date night tonight.
8So many celebs do this on the red carpet when they want a shorter look with cutting the hair
9I can't ever get hairstyles to work for me. :/
10sounds manageable..
11does this work with thick hair? bobby pins have a tendency to pop off or slip out of mine.
12Can you make my short hair longer that easily? =)
