WE LOVE ALEXA ~ AND HER HAIR...
There are 3 key elements to creating Alexa’s look: colour, cut and simply styling, here's how to her look:

 STEP ONE: COLOUR Alexa may have been one of the first A-List celebs to adopt the highly popular balayage look.
For a subtle look just like Alexa opt for a shade that is 2-3 shades lighter than your natural hair colour. 

 STEP TWO: CUT Want to nail Alexa’s style? Then it is time to cut your hair! Alexa’s signature chin length hair is accompanied by her trademark centre part and softly layered shaggy bob. The fringe accentuates her eyes and finishes the look perfectly. Ask your stylist to look at your face shape and structure to advise you on what length bob and fringe would best suit your personal features.

 STEP THREE: STYLE Step 1. To recreate Alexa’s signature casually messy do wrap the middle lengths of your hair around a curling wand, ensuring you leave the ends free. Hold the hair around the wand for 5 seconds before releasing. Step 2. Continue this step with the rest of your hair, sectioning hair randomly and without any consistency regarding section thicknesses. Step 3. When you have lightly curled all of your hair (remember you are avoiding the roots and the ends) lightly run your fingers through your hair to mess up the finished look.
  Step 4. Spray a light spritz of hairspray over your tresses to lock this style into place.

WE'RE LOVING ALEXA'S COLOUR... 

 At the ELLE Style Awards in London, she showed off her pitch-perfect, ombre highlights. The colour melts seamlessly from her warm brown bangs to her caramel tips. Her strands' soft, bouncy but still slightly undone texture compliments the look. 

If you’re considering ombre highlights, take your cue from Chung and keep the flow organic: Avoid a drastic shift in color halfway down the hair shaft. The great thing about this style is its surprisingly low maintenance—root touch-ups are few and far between.

ALEXA'S LONG 'LOB' IS PERFECT FOR ALL HAIRED TYPES, 

particularly fine hair!

To copy-cat the cut: Part hair down the middle and cut it in a clean line to above the collarbone. Then, to give it a little swing, add some long, barely there layers. The fringe should be trimmed to the cheekbones. 

To copy-cat styling: Dab a shine serum on wet hair and blow-dry it straight using a round brush. Flip hair upside down and mist with a light hair spray running your fingers through it to loosen the layers. Bring your head back up and finish with a quick blast from the hair dryer at the roots.

ALEXA'S HAIR IS A VARIATION ON A CLASSIC BOB... 

- it's not too done and not too messy. Any girl can wear it - it's very accessible.

It's a bit Nineties with the grown-out fringe and centre-parting. There's a Seventies feeling too but it's not really Seventies. It's kind of like when you are a little girl and you get your first haircut.

Want to copy-cat Alexa's hair?

Ask your hairdresser to do a classic bob but make sure they chop into it loads. Then use curling irons to tong random bits. It's just a simple cut that's very feminine
and low-maintenance.
