Lucy Liu stands out in a room of blonde Hollywood leading ladies. “My hair is so dark that I’d have to bleach it to add color, so I never dye it,” she tells InStyle Magazine .
In Ally McBeal, Lucy Liu played the role of the seductive, bitchy Ling Woo. Lucy Liu's long, straight, sexy hairstyle was irresistible to co-worker and lover Richard Fish.
"It's so much fun playing her, but I have this fear that people are going to run away from me in terror on the streets.They think I'm going to bite their heads off or something." - Lucy Liu on her Ally McBeal character.
In the fall of 2007, Lucy Liu returned to television as publishing executive Mia Mason on ABC’s Cashmere Mafia. Unlike her previous roles, Lucy Liu's hairstyle was a short wavy bob, a classic above-the-shoulders but below-the-chin bob. The short hair length makes this style low maintenance and very feminine.

Lucy Liu’s Hairstyle: A Short Wavy Bob
 Hairstyle: The Short Wavy Bob Cut
Get a classic above-the-shoulder but below the chin, medium length hair cut. Have your hair dresser use a sharp razor to create a rough, and textured edge look. Create a classic bob line which is short to long, with the nape very short and hair is cut in short to long length through the bob. This length of haircut is compatible for all face shapes and would bring a youthful look to your style profile.
Styling:
After shampooing and conditioning your hair, blot it dry with a towel. Apply a cream to damp hair to give hair texture. Scrunch your hair while air-drying to create natural texture. The short wavy bob hairstyle is great for a hectic day because it requires little maintenance.
To dress up the bob style, skip the finger picking and scrunching and use a round boar’s bristle brush with a blow dryer to create a more finished style. This will add volume along the crown. Add a few drops of shiner to create an instant shimmer. “If it’s going to be a long night, I generally put my hair up. For a shorter day, I’ll wear it down,” commented Lucy on her new hairstyle. She keeps her hair shiny by letting her hair air dry, mainly because she does not have time to use the blow dryer. This keeps her hair looking healthy by avoiding any heat damage.
Lucy Liu's Hairstyle: Accessorize
This wavy bob is perfect for accessories. Try a headband or a silk flower.
To put it simply, Lucy’s style is…simple. Take a look inside Lucy Liu's makeup bag and you’ll most likely find liquid eyeliner (black), concealer, eye pencil, gloss (cherry red), healing ointment, and press powder in petal. The two different eye liners are for different functions.
“The liquid liner is for above the eye, and the pencil is for inside the eye.
But I rarely use the pencil unless I’m going out. If you put liquid liner on
during the day and then add pencil to the inner trims at night, it glams it up.”
(Ning Chao, InStyle, Oct.2007).
Lucy Liu attributes her flawless, smooth skin to her drinking lots of water and abstaining from coffee. She also does not get facials, “I think [facials] damage your skin. People are getting peels and dermabrasion, and anything with the word ‘abrasion’ doesn’t work for me.” (CNN.com).
And that's how you get Lucy Liu's hairstyle: a short wavy bob.
