Vanessa Simmons with easy bob hair cut style for prom

   Bob hairstyles at prom are more likely to be seen in 2008 than in earlier years thanks to their widespread popularity. They are still in vogue as a day look, and of course, cannot be adjusted much for a night out.

   But many teen girls don't have bobs, or even short hair, and can't imagine cutting off all their hair that looks great and takes years to grow out fully. What to do?

   The faux bob is one option. Eva Longoria wore a faux bob in 2007. It looks as if she got a bob haircut like several other celebrities, but she actually just pulled and tied her medium-length hair at the back. Just like that--an instant half-up hairdo!

Faux bob

   It's often easiest or most convincing to pull off the faux bob hair style when you already have layered hair, because modern bob hairstyles are often cut in layers.
