Oribe was the stylist responsible for transforming Johansson's long locks into a jagged, mid-length bob. "It's very modernâ¦cut in a really jagged line at the bottom," says Oribe. "It's a combination of Brigitte Bardot in the front and â90s-style Christy Turlington at the bottom."
Here's how to recreate it, according to Oribe:
1. Let natural movement help air-dry the hair. You can dry hair upside-down, but don't touch it with a blowdryer.
2. Create some wave. If your client has naturally wavy texture, work with itâ¦or for straighter hair like Scarlett's, rely on a texturizing product, like Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray, for help.
3. Though the cut is versatile and can be worn straight, polished into a retro style or swept into an updo, Scarlett opted for more curl. You can use a curling iron on the mid-shaft of your hair, leaving the ends out. The key is to keep some degree of straightness, but add enough movement to make the style fresh and modern for summer.

Watson's cut was the most dramatic of the three styles, but stylist Rodney Cutler who did the snipping, can't say much about it. Protecting his client/stylist relationship, he says, according to an brief interview he did with Modern's Maggie Mulhern.
Watson, though, had plenty to say, telling Entertainment Weekly: "I missed all that experimentation that most teenagers go through. I've wanted to do this since I was about 16, so as soon as I had the chance I was like, âRight. This is it.' It was weird. My hairdresser was like, âWhen are you going to freak out?' Most people cry or go into shock,' but I was very calm. I knew it was the right thing. I went to the salon alone and I left alone. I knew everyone was going to have an opinion, and I couldn't deal with it. I have to get myself into a good place to deal with people saying things like, âIt's terrible! She looks like a boy!'"
She shouldn't have worried; most of the stylists commenting on Modern's Facebook page said how much they like the style!
