Height-challenged reality personality Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi has already established herself as a breakout star on MTV’s controversial reality hot mess Jersey Shore — and it appears the drunkard’s signature hairstyle is just as popular as her on-screen antics. In the ’90s, Jennifer Aniston’s perfect mane sent audiences scrambling to obtain “The Jennifer.” More recently, Blake Lively’s envy-inducing crop of blonde tresses began sparking requests for “The Blake.” Now top salons in Los Angeles and New York City report that they are receiving an unprecedented number of requests for “the poof” popularized by Snooki.
Already dubbed ”The Snook,” hair mavens say the heavily-teased look is most popular among short-statured woman like the 4-foot-9-inch reality star. You don’t have to fork over fistfuls of cash to look like Snook. The 22-year-old says fans can get her poofy look at home with the help of a little — make that a lot — of hairspray.
“If people don’t have hair like mine, I suggest teasing it a lot and then just put hair spray in and a clip. It should stay. I might do a video so the whole world knows how,” she said last month.
