Even though bobs are still going strong as far as hairstyle trends go, I'm personally in the awkward era of growing out mine. It's currently at that sort of shapeless lob stage that isn't quite shoulder-length—you know what I mean. But Tyla just showed us that the growing-out phase doesn't have to be inconvenient; it can be creative.
The award-winning singer-songwriter changes up her hair all the time, so it's no surprise that she arrived at Variety's Power Of Young Hollywood event in a new bell bob. The side-parted style was tucked behind her ears, swooping out at the chin-length ends, and covering one eye with thick, curved bangs. Absolutely attention-worthy if we left it at just that, right? But Tyla's stylist truly took it to another level.
Although it's not entirely clear how—maybe extensions with wires or an entirely separate hair accessory situated at the nape of her neck—stylist Malcolm Marquez has made it seem as if the ends of two small sections of Tyla's hair have grown out into long twisted pieces that look like branches that have sprouted leaf-like black feathers.
Tyla's makeup artist, Matthew Fishman, definitely deserves a shout-out too, especially for those intense eyes, created with Danessa Myricks colors. I especially appreciate how that golden chrome shadow is a near-perfect match for Tyla's metallic manicure.
OK, so this look is probably not a realistic option for my personal bob-lengthening journey. I reluctantly accept that. But it's gorgeous proof that there really is no shortage of ways to wear a chin-length look.
