Layered Bob with Variations

5/21/2015

0 Comments

 
I love chin length bobs. The chin length makes it easy to style and layering gives it fullness and lots of movement Bobs are always in style and this layered version is sassy and fun as well. It is one of the most versatile bobs. A low side part provides a dramatic drape. Tuck the heavy side behind your ear or let it fall seductively over one eye. Tuck the light side behind your ear while the heavy side falls forward.

To create this look.
  • Shampoo and condition with body building products – usually labeled as ‘volumizing’ or ‘fine hair.’ If, on the other hand, you have hair with lots of natural body, try ‘smoothing’ or ‘moisturizing’ products.
     
  • Blot your hair with a towel and apply styling foam starting at the root area and extending it out to the ends.
     
  • Blow your hair dry using a large round brush.
     
  • If you prefer more curl on the ends than the brush provides, use a large barreled curling iron on the top and crown.
    • To keep the fullness longer:
    • Pick up one section of hair and curl it with the curling iron.
    • Take the iron out. Before you release the hair, backcomb it slightly at the base.
    • Spray the backcombing with flexible hold hair spray. 
    • Gently place the hair.
    • Continue through all the hair at the crown.
Layered bob with headband
For a casual look and for more control, use a headband to keep your hair back.
  • For this look:
  • After your shampoo, apply styling foam and scrunch it using a towel.
  • While your hair is still damp, insert the headband.
  • Using a narrow headband, slide it into your hair starting at the hairline. Slide it about half way back. Then, slide it back forward slightly to push in a little fullness around your face.
Bob hair with headband
  • For this look, blow your hair under smoothly and part it in a low side part.
  • Fold a scarf so that it is two or three inches wide. Insert another, smaller scarf or kerchief inside for more bulk. This also will produce the effect of more height on top.
  • Place the center of the scarf on top of your head. It should be at the hairline allowing the bangs to drape across your forehead with the ends tucked under it.
  • Tie the scarf at the back of your neck so that it secures the bangs and sides. Allow the back of your hair to fall over the knot. It’s OK if the ends show.
