The One Trick Blake Lively's Hairstylist Used To Create That Faux Bob
When Blake Lively stepped out in October rocking what looked suspiciously like a shoulder length lob, well, it wouldn't be an overstatement to say the world went into meltdown at the thought of the Gossip Girl actress chopping off her iconic beach blonde locks.
And despite the 30-year-old looking ridiculously chic with her new shorter 'do, when we found out it was all a sneaky slight of hand from her go-to hairstylist Rod Ortega, the protective mother in us (because for some reason all mums universally hate it when you cut your hair) was pretty relieved.
I guess I was checking the lobby for a slight drizzle?? ... Turns out it still doesn't rain indoors.

Actually a carefully crafted faux lob that looked insanely realistic, we went from a little bit too emotional that the mother of two had cut her hair, to dying to know the secret to her semi-permanent bob in less time than you can say 'Serena Van Der Woodsen'.
So what's the secret? A-list hairstylist and Lively's go-to pro Rod Ortega revealed all to InStyle: 'The whole structure of a faux bob for me is pinning hair to the pin cushion that I create in the back of the neck,' he explained.
