Step-By-Step: the Faux Bob

If you’ve been lusting after this season’s trendy bob, (but fear the haircut) then read on. Here’s how to transform long hair into short, without reaching for the scissors!


1

CURL

Start by curling your hair with a curling iron. Hold the rod horizontally to create soft waves.
Leave the curls to cool and then brush through them to soften.

 




2

ADD TEXTURE

Spray your hair with dry shampoo to add texture and definition. 

 

  







3

 

PONYTAIL

Now, pull your hair into a loose ponytail that sits at the base of your neck.

 







4

FOLD & CLIP

Fold your ponytail up and under, securing it at the nape of your neck with hairgrips. 
Lock your bob into place with hairgrips, spreading hair evenly to give the illusion of a bob.






5

FINISH

Secure with hairspray and loosen some tendrils around your face for a softer finish.
