Nina Dobrev, widely known for her roles in hit shows like *The Vampire Diaries*, has proven she’s not just an actress and model. In a surprising twist, she recently added “hairstylist” to her already impressive resume, showing off her skills in a new Instagram post.
On February 20, Nina shared a video of herself cutting her own bangs in a hair and makeup trailer. Wearing a purple salon cape, Dobrev effortlessly wielded a pair of scissors as she expertly snipped at the front and sides of her bangs with precision. It was a professional-grade cut, and fans couldn’t help but be impressed by her hairdressing talent.
Of course, even the best hairstylists need a little help now and then. To ensure her cut was as flawless as possible, Nina enlisted the help of a friend to hold the sides of her bangs using a fine-tooth comb. With her assistant’s steady hand and Dobrev’s skillful scissors work, the result was a perfectly cut fringe.
“In case you were wondering how we dooooooo it,” Dobrev captioned the video, set to the smooth tunes of Montell Jordan’s “This Is How We Do It,” giving followers an inside look at her DIY hair makeover process.
Over the past few years, bangs have become a signature part of Nina’s look. In a 2023 interview with *People*, she revealed the extensive regimen she follows to keep her bangs looking their best. “My hairstylist and I did a FaceTime session, and he taught me how to blow them out myself,” she shared. “I also use Kevin Murphy Doo Over Dry Powder Finishing Hairspray—it’s the only thing I put on my bangs after they’ve been blown out. It gives them a texturized, slightly messy look, which is exactly what you want when sporting bangs. Clean bangs are surprisingly not the goal!”
Clearly, Nina Dobrev is not just a talented actress but also a pro when it comes to hairstyling, proving that sometimes, a little DIY approach can go a long way!
