Lisa Rinna Hair Photos
The unique, sexy, signature style of Lisa Rinna hair didn't happen overnight. You can chart its evolution in our gallery of Lisa Rinna hair pictures.
The photos also help to decipher her basic face shape, and that's useful in understanding why Lisa Rinna wears her hair the way she does.
And why it looks so good!
The Lisa Rinna hair style has evolved over a period of years, always dealing with the same facial structure and striving to enhance her looks.
The Ultimate Lisa Rinna Hair Photo
The end result, the hair style that sets Lisa Rinna apart, can be seen in the second last picture in the middle row.
Everything she's done with her hair has led to this point.
Of all the Lisa Rinna hair photos in the gallery, this is the one that really seizes the attention and hangs on. This is the picture where face and hair come together in an appeal so raw that it skips every conscious level of the brain and targets the male nerve center directly.
As a mere male I can assure you there's no internal dialog when you look at this photo. No thought snippets occur like "She's pretty ..." or "Look at those eyes ..." or "Mmm! Nice hair!"
It's more like the explosion when a missile finds its target.
So how does a woman arrive at such a disturbingly appealing hair style? What is it that makes the difference between attractive and fatally compelling?
You need a gallery of Lisa Rinna hair photos to answer these questions. And that's exactly what we have.
A Revealing Lisa Rinna Hair Photo
Hair style is about face shape. Not entirely, but it's important.
The first picture in the middle row of Lisa Rinna hair photos is significant. It tells you all you need to know about the shape of Lisa Rinna's face.
Her face is long. It's wider at the top than at the bottom. Her cheeks descend in a straight line that tapers towards the jaw and suddenly turns more sharply towards the chin.
The reverse of a widow's peak leaves a gap in the middle of Lisa Rinna's forehead. From there her hair line travels down at a shallow angle then drops vertically towards the outer edge of her eyes.
It stops well before the brows and heads off, again at a shallow angle, towards the top of the ears. Once more it stops and plunges vertically, arriving finally at the normal starting point of a hair line, just in front of the ears and about level with their center.
Lisa Rinna's is not by any means an unattractive face, but it does have more corners, more angles and more length than the classic standard of feminine facial beauty - the oval - would dictate.
Our gallery of Lisa Rinna Hair Photos shows how she deals with this problem.
Styling Lisa Rinna Hair
In this same, revealing Lisa Rinna hair photo, the first in the middle row, the actress cleverly styles her hair to transform her face shape while revealing it completely.
The photo shows a short, formal hair style, possibly an updo. It forms a round shape that joins the top of her exposed ears as if they represented the outer extent of her face.
This point, level with her eyes, now becomes what it should be - the point of greatest facial width.
Her ears, where her dark hair joins them and flags them as important markers, create an imaginary facial line further out than the real one. As they descend they make the lower part of her face seem wider and in the mind's eye - where we process and interpret people's faces - an oval shape is born.
Lisa Rinna has already convinced us she's beautiful, but in one more act of ruthless and knowing symmetry she employs the plunging black neckline of her gown, which echoes and almost mirrors the shape of the hair at her forehead.
But the neckline is steeper in its curve, and we perceive the hairline as gentler, and rounder, by comparison.
Beauty is all about perception. And Lisa Rinna hair photos are an exercise in moulding our perceptions of Lisa Rinna.
Two Unflattering Lisa Rinna Hair Photos
Some Lisa Rinna hair photos are far less flattering.
Two pictures, at the start and end of the top row, portray her as rectangular faced.
Her hair parts in the middle and curves outward and down, falling symmetrically along her cheeks.
The result is a shape with straight sides and seemingly identical width at top and bottom.
It's not a good look.
And that's something rare in Lisa Rinna hair photos.
Three Early Lisa Rinna Hair Photos
You can see the same underlying shape handled more successfully in the middle photo of the gallery. This photo shows a very young Lisa Rinna - and a Lisa Rinna with long hair.
The side parting allows her to control the shape of her forehead. She narrows it with hair that flicks round in a neat curve to join one eyebrow, echoing the rounded shape on the other side and bringing the edge of the forehead inwards.
The angular jaw line is still there but the widening slope of her hair - exaggerated by an outward flick on one side - softens the jaw line and makes the lower half of her face seem wider.
That outward flick of the hair on one side is a device you'll see in many Lisa Rinna hair photos, and it's there in the red dress picture.
Two other tricks are used on the young, long haired Lisa Rinna - camera angle and lighting.
The camera is high, looking down on her face. The viewpoint allows her chin and throat to blend so that we fail to focus on the angular shapes there. Instead we are drawn, visually, up to the strong line of her eyes and brows and the artfully rounded shape to which they are linked.
The second picture in the top row of Lisa Rinna hair photos employs the same downward pointing camera angle.
On one side it washes out the young Lisa Rinna's jaw line completely, while a glimpse of dark hair once more turns her ear into the de facto outer edge of her face. Lisa Rinna's hair in this photo is short, with huge volume at the top built into a circle, and the forehead is all but hidden.
Other Lisa Rinna hair photos in the gallery show different experiments with some of the same devices.
The fourth photo in the bottom row achieves something of the face shape Lisa Rinna is after. She's rounded the edges of her forehead, and tried to diminish the length of her face with a round, wide hair style that pulls back in suddenly at the jaw line, and flicks out again below it.
A single ear is exposed to assist that face widening illusion.
It's an attractive use of hair, and a lovely picture of Lisa Rinna, but it's not definitive. The Lisa Rinna hair style has a long way to go yet.
Two Lisa Rinna Short Hair Photos
In the first photo of the bottom row, Lisa Rinna's hair is short but sweeps across and flicks round to the eyebrow, narrowing and curving the forehead as in the earlier, youthful photo of long Lisa Rinna hair. But the task of widening the lower half of her face is shifted to the opposite side - her hands come up to cloud the jaw line on her right, and her right ear is exposed.
In the last Lisa Rinna hair photo of the middle row, a similar short hair cut is parted on the opposite side, the right rather than the left. Again the camera angle is down, and again the jaw is lost on one side. Dark makeup draws the gaze back up to the eyes, where the face should be widest and, with this camera angle, appears to be.
Sharp strands of hair interrupt the forehead in the beginning of what will become the signature shaggy style of Lisa Rinna hair.
Evolution of the Lisa Rinna Hair Shag
Lisa Rinna hair photos throughout the gallery reveal stages in the development of this signature hair style.
In the top row's last picture but one, Lisa Rinna's hair is rounded out past the ears, but with one ear peeping out to widen her face. The look is soft rather than shaggy. In a hint of things to come, the encroaching fringe drops down past the eyes to obscure and narrow the forehead.
Side lighting confuses the jaw line, and she has begun to explore the possibilities of the outward flick of hair.
The middle photo of the bottom row shows a similar Lisa Rinna hair style. Her hair is still soft as it covers the forehead, but it's shorter now. The base is definitely shaggy and flicks out evenly on both sides.
The second picture in the second row develops the shag further, with a spiky break out at the top. The flick is highlighted for emphasis on one side, beginning at eye level to distract from the straight, tapering cheek.
The Lisa Rinna hair photo below this takes the flick to extremes and makes it symmetrical, beginning at forehead level and continuing past the cheeks and jaw line. Strands of hair curve down to intersect the brows, narrowing and rounding the forehead in an echo of earlier styles.
In the middle photo of the top row Lisa Rinna wears a formal hair style, less shaggy, softer and more rounded. But it uses many of the elements she's found helpful before. Soft flicks widen the lower half of her face.
A flowing fringe reduces her forehead's width but also exposes its height. She balances this by broadening her hair into a circular profile.
Towards the Signature Style of Lisa Rinna Hair
In the last of our Lisa Rinna hair photos, Lisa's hair is close to its final shape, the unmistakable style that will set her apart from other celebrity women.
Her hair length is established, just below the angle of the jaw.
The fringe shortens her face and leaves visible just two tapering wedges of forehead that suggest the top of an oval.
There are fifteen hair styles in this gallery, and you can follow the evolution of Lisa Rinna's iconic celebrity hair style - and see more Lisa Rinna hair pictures - at Lisa Rinna Hair Photos.
That's a lot of Lisa Rinna hair styles to study, learn from, and simply admire.
