However celebrity hairstylist Jen Atkin, who regularly works with stars including Kim Kardashian, has now revealed that there is more than meets the eye when it comes to Chrissy's new 'do. The hair guru took to Instagram where she confessed that the Lip Sync Battle host's look is "not a lob", but that the star had chosen instead to rock a shorter length at the back of her hair, using extensions at the front to create a contrasting longer length.
