Description
The sides and back of this short style are tapered into the head maintaining a clean finish to the edges, while the top is smoothed down to frame the top of the face for a fabulous look and feel. This hairdo is great to complement a long face and is easy to manage with regular trims every 4-6 weeks. Product is needed to for gloss and shine.
Tyra Banks is the queen of looking ‘fierce’ and here is no exception. Being a supermodel, Tyra can pretty much pull off any hairstyle with ease. Over the years she has experimented with long, short, curly and straight ‘dos. Here, she is sporting a head-turning bowl cut that has an Eighties retro feel to it. Tyra has a wide, broad forehead which looks great when camoflauged by a thick fringe as seen here. The tapered sides keep all the focus on Tyra’s striking cat eyes and high cheekbones, making this the ideal, fashion-forward short ‘do for her.
Tyra has a warm complexion and bring green eyes, which allow her to pull off both dark and light hair colors. Here, she blends both with a mocha brown base and golden blonde highlights throughout. This gives her ‘do added depth and breaks the color up for more dimension.
Tyra Banks is a former supermodel, an American television personality, former talk show host, producer, author, actress and business woman.

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. Flatten the Top Using Wax
Apply wax to the palms of your hands, and then starting at the top-back area, drag your hands forward, flattening your hair down as you go. For a wetter look use more wax.
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.
