Kate showed up looking street chic at the Season 2 premiere of "House of Cards" Netflix TV Series in Los Angeles on February 13th, 2014.

Be inspired and get creative by taking a page out of Kate Mara's hairstyle book. This style is perfect for day two or three after washing your hair when your strands have a bit of natural oil for added glam when slicked back into this edgy look.

Her long bob falls just above the shoulders and is crisply cut for a blunt finish. Kate parts her hair cleanly and deeply to one side, creating an asymmetrical and modern look that complements various face shapes better than a center part.

Using a hair gel on slightly damp hair, Kate combs the product through for a sleek and subtly textured appearance. It's important to simply comb the gel through and allow it to air dry without touching to minimize frizz.

This look is easy to achieve and works well because Kate enhances it with her makeup and wardrobe choices. Elevate a simple, slightly grungy hairstyle with more glamorous makeup selections.
