How to Achieve Daisy Edgar-Jones’ Faux Bob—No Scissors Required

1. The Bob Dilemma (We’ve All Been There)

Bobs are everywhere right now. Truly everywhere. And while I love the look, the idea of cutting off long hair can feel a bit… terrifying. I’ve been there, staring in the mirror, scissors anxiety creeping in.

If you adore your long hair and the thought of a dramatic chop makes your palms sweat, you’re not alone. The good news? You don’t actually have to cut anything. Not even a trim.

2. The Red Carpet Fake-Out

That brings us to Daisy Edgar-Jones. She stepped onto the red carpet at the Harkins Theatre in Oklahoma City for a screening of Twisters, and honestly, she had us all fooled.

At first glance, it looked like her signature long waves were gone. In their place? A soft, jaw-length bob with loads of volume. I gasped. Internet gasp, but still.

Then came the plot twist. It wasn’t a real chop at all. Daisy faked the whole thing, and somehow made it look effortless.

3. Why Her Hair Hits Every Time

Daisy’s hair has always been a thing. Long, shaggy layers. Easy waves. Bangs that never try too hard. It’s the kind of hair that sparks endless “I want that” screenshots.

You’ll know her from Normal People and Where the Crawdads Sing, and honestly, her hair deserves its own credit. So yes, keeping her length makes total sense.

Still, changing things up for a night? That’s the sweet spot. No regret. No grow-out phase.

4. The Stylist Magic Behind the Look

Daisy’s one-night-only bob came courtesy of her NYC hairstylist, Bryce Scarlett. He’s a red carpet pro and works with names like Margot Robbie, Natalie Portman, and Lily Aldridge.

Lucky Daisy, right? The rest of us are styling at home, probably five minutes late, with one bobby pin missing. The last red carpet I walked was my grandma’s hallway, so I get it.

Still, this look is doable. Promise.

5. How to Fake the Bob at Home (Without Stress)

You don’t need fancy tools or pro hands. Just a little patience and a mirror you trust.

• Step 1: Start with dry hair. Add a texturizing or salt spray for volume. Anything you have works.
• Step 2: Split your hair into two loose, low ponytails. Secure them behind your shoulders at the nape of your neck.
• Step 3: Take one ponytail at a time. Loop the length under and pin it up with bobby pins. Hide the hair tie.
• Step 4: Gently tease and shape the back with your fingers. Let soft pieces fall around your face.
• Step 5: Finish with a light mist of hairspray. You want hold, not helmet vibes.

And that’s it. No scissors. No panic. Just a chic bob for the night.

Honestly, once you try it, you’ll wonder why you didn’t sooner. Practice makes perfect, and even the messy versions look cool. Daisy proved that too.
