Emily Blunt Medium Straight Layered Dark Brunette and Light Brunette Two-Tone Bob Haircut


Added: 21 Jun 2012
Emily Blunt is always ahead of the trends, and when it comes to her hair she is rocking many trends at once with this simple 'do. The bob has been back with a vengeance and this style suits her oval face perfectly. Instead of a blunt, dramatic style of bob, Emily has gone for layers in the ends and around the face. This is a great idea if you have a square or otherwise angular face, or if you prefer a looser, carefree hairstyle. Blunt bobs can look harsh on some faces, and they also take a lot more work to style. If you like wash-and-go styles, Emily's bob will work well for you.

As for the hair color, Emily is more of a trend-follower than a leader with the ombre ends. Her natural dark brown chocolate locks transform into a light golden brown at the ends. Cool and casual is the main idea for this medium length hairstyle. This look is blow-waved from root to tip to achieve a smooth and glossy look and feel best suited to frame a round face. A little product is needed for hold and shine as well as regular trims every 4- 6 weeks to prevent split ends.

Our two cents:
Emily's beauty isn't maximized with this simple cut. The centre hair part is boring- a dramatic side-swept fringe would have glammed up this hairstyle and brought attention to her eyes. The color technique looks much better on long hair and the brassy tones at the bottom does nothing for her skin.

What's your verdict on Emily's hair- do you like it or loathe it?

step 1

Apply a small amount of hair moisturizer to the palm of your hand and distribute it evenly through the mid-lengths and the ends. Moisturizer will help your hair to maintain good condition and protect your strands from heat as you style.


step 2

Using the corner of your comb and standing in front of a mirror find the middle of your nose and then drag the comb straight up slowly until you reach your hairline and then continue back in a straight manner to achieve an even middle part. A middle part is a great way to make small, round face shapes appear longer and thinner.


step 3

A medium radial brush is used on medium to long hair types to smooth out wavy or curly hair textures or to add body to straight hair. When selecting a radial brush, always use one with a pure bristle as this will not tear or damage the hair.


step 4

Using your brush, blow-dry in small sections starting from the nape/back. Tilting your head forward, place the brush an inch below the roots to hold them taut and aim the dryer above the brush for a few seconds before continuing to the ends.


step 5

Using your brush, blow-dry in small sections starting from the sides. Tilting your head forward, place the brush an inch below the roots to hold them taut and aim the dryer above the brush for a few seconds before continuing to the ends. Repeat this step on a new section directly above the dry one.


step 6

Apply a very small amount of smoothing shine to the palms of your hands and then run it through the mid-lengths and ends of your hair. Be careful not to add any to the roots or a large amount to any section of the hair as smoothing shine can be very heavy on the hair, weighing it down and making it appear oily.


step 7

To finish, apply a minimal amount of hairspray from an arms length distance to the top, sides and back. Take care not to use too much or you will end up with a white, flaky residue which looks like dandruff.
