How to Recreate Daisy Edgar-Jones’ No-Commitment Faux Bob

1. The Bob Everyone Wants… But Few Want to Commit To

Let’s be honest. The bob is everywhere this summer. It’s chic, fresh, and somehow makes everyone look instantly polished. But if you’ve spent years growing your hair long, the idea of cutting it all off can feel a bit scary. I’ve been there too—standing in front of the mirror, imagining a bob, then quickly deciding my long hair deserves to live another day.

The good news? You don’t actually need scissors to try the look. There’s a clever trick called the faux bob, and it lets you test the style without losing an inch of hair.

2. Daisy Edgar-Jones and the Magic Faux Bob

When Daisy Edgar‑Jones walked the red carpet at the Harkins Theatre for the premiere of Twisters, people thought she had chopped off her famous long waves.

At first glance, it really looked like a fresh, jaw-length bob. Full. Bouncy. Very elegant.

But look closer and you realize something fun—she didn’t cut her hair at all. It was just a well-styled illusion.

3. Why Her Hair Always Gets So Much Attention

If you’ve seen Daisy in Where the Crawdads Sing or the series Normal People, you already know her hair has its own fan club.

Her style is relaxed and effortless. Long layers. Soft waves. Easy bangs. It’s the kind of hair that makes people say, “I want that.”

So of course she didn’t really cut it. Honestly, if my hair looked that good, I’d protect it like treasure too.

4. The Stylist Behind the Look

The one-night bob was created by celebrity hairstylist Bryce Scarlett. He’s known for red-carpet magic and works with stars like Margot Robbie and Natalie Portman.

Sadly, most of us don’t have a celebrity stylist waiting in our living room.

Most days my “hair team” is just me, a brush, and a mirror that tells brutal truths. But the good part? This faux bob is actually easy enough to do at home.

5. How to Create Daisy’s Faux Bob at Home

Here’s a simple way to try the look yourself. It takes just a few minutes and zero haircuts.

Step-by-step guide

• Add texture first.
  Spray a little texturizing spray on dry hair to give it grip and volume. Something like R+Co Rockaway Salt Spray works well, but any salt spray will do.
• Make two low ponytails.
  Split your hair into two loose ponytails behind your shoulders. Keep them low, right near the base of your neck.
• Tuck the hair under.
  Fold each ponytail upward and tuck the ends under. Pin them in place with bobby pins. Cross the pins so they hold better.
• Shape the “bob.”
  Use your fingers or a comb to fluff the hair and hide the parting. If a few soft pieces fall around your face, leave them. That relaxed look makes it prettier.
• Lock it in.
  Finish with a light mist of L’Oréal Paris Elnett Satin Hairspray so everything stays in place without feeling stiff.

6. Why the Faux Bob Is Worth Trying

Think of the faux bob like trying on a new personality for the night. Short hair has a different vibe. It feels bold, playful, and a little glamorous.

And the best part? At the end of the night, you can shake your hair out and your long locks are still there. No regret. No awkward growing-out phase.

So if you’ve ever been curious about a bob but felt nervous about the cut, this trick is your safest experiment.

Trust me—once you try it, you might find yourself doing it again just for fun.
