When it comes to short hair, the journey of growing it out can feel like an eternity. Those longing for the days of half-up styles, messy buns, and ponytails can often find themselves in a state of impatience. But fear not, because Charlize Theron’s latest look at the Dior womenswear runway show during Paris Fashion Week on Tuesday, September 26, has given hope to short-haired individuals everywhere. Not only can you wear a ponytail with short hair, but you can also rock a stylish bubble ponytail.
Charlize Theron, always stunning, graced the front row of the show in a sheer, beaded maxi skirt paired with a classic white button-down shirt. However, her hair stole the spotlight, showcasing how creativity and a world-class hairstylist can work wonders even with minimal hair length.
At first glance, Theron’s hair, just barely qualifying as a bob, appears slicked back in a simple middle-parted style. But a closer look from the side reveals the artistry of her go-to hairstylist, Adir Abergel, who worked his magic with the limited hair available.
Rather than settling for a standard ponytail, Abergel achieved the improbable by sectioning it into several elastics, creating a captivating effect down the length of the petite yet incredibly stylish ponytail. While it may not achieve the full “bubble” look often associated with longer hair, it still exudes far more style than a basic ponytail.
While there’s certainly nothing wrong with using extensions to add flair to a ponytail, Charlize Theron’s look serves as a reminder that you don’t necessarily need hairpieces or boundless patience to achieve a fashionable and eye-catching style, even with shorter hair. Theron’s bubble ponytail is an inspiration for anyone seeking to make a statement with their locks, regardless of their current hair length.
