The back and sides of this hairstyle is tapered into the face and head with jagged cut layers through the top styled over to the side for a fun and fancy feel. The bangs are swept to the side to soften the face and completes the over-all 'do brilliantly. Product is needed to keep this hairstyle is in place.

Melora Hardin looks chic and stylish here in a layered short hairstyle. Melora suits short hair well, due to her oblong face shape and high cheekbones. She also looks best in styles with bangs thanks to her high forehead. The tapered sides and back in this cut show off her face nicely, while the longer layers at the front give her some forehead coverage and bring the focus up to her eyes. This â€˜do works well with her hair type, which is fine and straight and looks best in cuts that are layered with precision.

As for her color, Melora has a fair, warm complexion, blue eyes and naturally dark blonde hair. She sticks close to her natural color here with this deep golden blonde base shade that has light golden blonde highlights throughout. These highlights warm up her hair color and give her complexion a sun-kissed glow.

Melora Hardin is an American actress and singer, known for her roles on NBC's The Office and Amazonâ€™s critically acclaimed series Transparent.

Styling Steps

1. Wax Hair Down at the Back

Apply some wax to your fingertips and then pull through the ends of your hair in a downward motion to achieve a sculptured look. Pinch clumps of hair in different directions for a messier result.

2. Style Sides Down Using Wax

Using a small amount of wax, work it through the mid-lengths and ends in a downward, pinching motion. For added texture, apply more pinching and more wax.

3. Style Bangs to the Right Using Wax

Apply wax to your fingertips then drag through your bangs, sweeping the hair to the right as you go. Pinching the ends will create soft texture.

4. Apply Hairspray

To finish, apply a minimal amount of hairspray from an arms length distance to the top, sides and back. Take care not to use too much or you will end up with a white, flaky residue which looks like dandruff.
