How Today’s Jenna Bush Hager Prepared for Live TV Haircut

A live TV makeover? Jenna Bush Hager was hair for it.

Indeed, the host of Today consented to chop off her long hair and opt for a chic bob following an impromptu discussion, as shared by hairstylist Chris McMillan, who performed the stylish trim after consulting with the show’s producers.

He shared with Francesca Amiker of TopMob News during an exclusive chat that he had merely spent ten minutes with her. To ready her for the interview, he simply smoothed out her roots with a hairdryer. In other words, he plunged right in and performed the task live on air without any prior rehearsal or preparation.

Why did he select a short bob hairstyle for Jenna, who usually keeps her long blonde hair in loose waves? It seems that Leslie Bibb’s chic little bob while co-hosting inspired him. Many people are opting for a shorter cut this summer.

For individuals seeking to try out shorter hairstyles without fully committing to a pixie cut, a bob can be an excellent and secure option.

Chris said, “It will sprout out and become very healthy. The edges are good. Remove any damaged sections, eliminate unhealthy areas, and work on layers. It’s similar to giving your hair a fresh check-up.

Plus, Chris noted that a bob fits with Jenna’s lifestyle.

As a lifestyle enthusiast, I’d suggest a low ponytail for workouts since it’s practical and stylish. I made sure the front section of Jenna’s hair was long enough to allow her to easily pull it back from her face during her workout sessions. And here’s an interesting observation: when she exercises, Jenna often tucks her hair behind her ears – a habit that adds a touch of elegance to her workout routine.

And for those who want to make the cut like Jenna, Chris said “anyone” can pull off the same look.

He stated, “It’s fashionable, it’s contemporary, it’s a timeless hairstyle.” But what truly matters is the form or silhouette you create with it.
