Drawing inspiration from the hair style trends of our favorite stars and celebrities has become a national pass time. One such star hair style is America ’s quintessential entertainer and talk show host Ellen DeGeneres. Perhaps more then any Hollywood actress, Ellen has always made a point of wearing a versatile unisex hair style for her time challenged life style. Her trademark short tousled hair style with buttery blonde sun kissed highlights gives this new Cover Girl a youthful stylish look in a grown up way.

TO GET THE LOOK: If your looking for a perky short hair style for your active "time challenged" life take a hair styling lesson from Ellen and watch heads turn when you show up looking ooh-so stylish and  years younger. 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: To get the look, start with a contoured silhouette with brow brushing bangs and neckline stylishly over the collar. Say so long to bad hair days, this "wind blown" do' looks amazing from all points of view and almost styles itself. With a few adjustments (trims) you can find the ideal length and shape for your look.

LET’S STYLE IT: For style support start with a dab of mousse or shaping gel or nothing at all. Comb either through damp hair to dry au natural in a "get-dressed-in-a-dash" sort of way. Or give it a quick tousle with a hair dryer for a fluffy do'. After, add textured effects and  turn up the shine with a touchable finishing spray and your ready for makeup.

LET’S ADD MAKEUP: What’s a star hair style without makeup and accessories? Ellen knows first-hand from her daily sessions in the makeup chair that many foundations can actually make you look overly made up and older looking. To create a youthful natural glow and flawless complexion Ellen starts with Olay ageless foundation. Followed with everything to make a Cover Girl glow, eyeliner, eye shadow, lash and brow mascara, pink lip gloss and you’ve got the look. Top it off with small diamond studs, sun glasses paired with a chic silk scarf, T-shirt, black blazer and jeans with high top tennis shoe’s and your styling.

NOW, LET’S COLOR IT: If your hair has lost its luster and is beginning to gray around the edge give it a natural sun kissed look with a Clairol Buttery blonde tint and contrasting highlights for dimension and volume. 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 highlights added every third month. This extra step may cost a few dollars but it’s a small price to pay for a youthful look and all the attention you’ll get.

This shapely style looks amazing from all points of view and almost styles itself. Just comb and go or a quick blow dry and your ready for any occasion. The buttery blonde color has put any gray hair stylishly under cover and looks so natural it will have people wondering “Does she or doesn’t she”? Your Cover Girl glow and ageless complexion has turned back the clock and pushed the style bar to the max. This perky wind blown’ do’ is sure to get rave reviews and some may hardly recognize 
you when you show up looking ooh-so chic and years younger.
