Sleek Tapered Hair

What a fun and chic hairstyle Vanessa Paradis wore when she attended the World Premiere of "Sleepy Hollow" on November 17th, 1999. The premiere took place in glamorous Hollywood, and Vanessa herself was extremely glam.

Her light green eyes are beautiful and complement a medium brown shade well. The brunette color has warm, golden flecks that catch the light fantastically. Vanessa wears her hair stick-straight with subtle flips at the ends.

Her hair is cut into a layered, shoulder-length style. The strands fall just at the shoulders, with shorter layers in the front tapering up towards the chin. The ends of her hair appear razor-cut, a technique that helps create an edgy finish.

The layers are kept longer and only cut into to create shape at the ends. Too many shorter layers would be overwhelming and wouldn't look as sleek, even when ironed out. A crisp, sleek middle part keeps the look simple.

Her hair is blown out for smoothness and then flat-ironed section by section for a perfectly straight finish. A soft shine spray is misted over Vanessa's strands to achieve a mirror-like result.

This hairstyle is a great source of inspiration if you're transitioning from a shorter bob haircut. It strikes a perfect balance between short and long styles.
