Aisha Tyler

The fringe in the front is extended all the way back to the ears and it is deep set meaning that it starts high on the crown. There is no detectable part to be seen. The length of this style is relaxed and casual and not too made up. This is most likely the work of hair extensions which can be a great remedy for thin or short tresses. A relaxer treatment will help get rid of the kinky frizz if that is an issue! So kick up your heals and consider a youthful 'do like Aisha at "Word for Word" Photocall at Bryant Park in New York City on July 10, 2013.
