Vanessa Hudgens'"Jaw-Dropping" Makeove"

If you’re braver than me and have been thinking about sporting a short do, Teen Vogue got the scoop from Jamal Hammadi, the man responsible for styling Vanessa Hudgens‘ newly-shorn locks to share a few tips on how to do the short do.

Jamal: “When Vanessa came to me, she’d chopped off her own hair for a movie. So I first transformed her haircut by removing the weight from the sides, creating more texture and movement and opening up her face. I needed to make the texture look natural, chic and effortless with texture.”

So true Bob; she's trying to find her new look; it'll happen, I have faith.

     Not enough face, Hawg. I still think that she looks 10 years older now. This is a BAD short haircut for a beautiful YOUNG woman. She has no wrinkles to hide. Bob

    Well, another cut, another comment. I didn't expect this. Yes, it does look better I still think that it was a beauty blunder to have ever cut it. I would never notice this woman's hair in RL now. Three-month pixie grow-out cuts are not my favorites. Bob

Her "hack" job became a sexy cut.  Hopefully she will continue on the short hair track.

Trout - Agreed.  Apparently she saw Morena Baccarain recently and said, "Oh THAT'S what I'm supposed to do with this cut..." :)

    This will be my final comment on her, I swear. If I saw those photos in a magazine, I wouldn't recognize her, and I'd think "40". She should have cut a wig for her role, really.   

Imo, hideous. I actually prefer it from the on set pics, where she's playing homeless, than in the 2 appearances where it's "done". Her face is too opened up when it's pushed back. Some face shapes are not intended to be "opened up", but rather, should be properly framed. For me, hers is one of those faces.

“In the beginning my character cuts her hair and we were cutting it and it didn’t look like I was cutting it myself, so I grabbed the scissors and started cutting my actual hair.”

It seems to me that the reason she cut her hair was to up her acting credibility, that is, to make a sacrifice for a role (not that i think she actually will get any credibility for that).  I agree with Arch, the cut isn't much to look at, so I hope it grows into something more interesting/attractive.
