Ever struggled to describe the look you're going for to your hairstylist?

Well, Mindy Kaling solved that problem for women everywhere. For a styling session for her appearance on Chelsea Lately, The Mindy Project star, 34, told her stylists that she wanted to look like "one of Pharrell's friends," according to her post on Instagram on April 7.

Hairstylist Clariss Rubenstein ran with it and gave Kaling bangs and long, face-framing layers, while makeup artist Katey Denno defined the star's eyes and added a bright pink lip.

However, the bangs were short-lived. Later that night, Kaling posted fringe-free pictures, but, at least, kept the perky pink lip.
