Rihanna Concave Angled Bob Hair Cut


Added: 30 Mar 2007
Rihanna looked fantastic at Nickelodeon's Kid's Choice Awards with this very sexy concave bob cut, which featured very sharp pieces falling towards her front. The concave bob is making a huge comeback into fashion. It is not an easy style for you to maintain as you will need to be strict with your haircuts so that you keep this look in shape but it is so worth it! The nature of this hairstyle draws attention to the eyes and the bridge of the nose and is a very dramatic look and shape. Due to the focus on your center facial features, this bob is going to help elongate your face and make your face look thinner than it is. This A-line cut has been styled straight with a side parting, creating a waterfall effect around her face. Finish off by lifting your roots, which will give off the illusion of fuller hair and add more height to this look. This hairstyle is ideal for any hair density and is best suited for those with an oval, round, heart, or diamond face shape.

When it comes to your makeup application, you can do something similar to what Rihanna has done. The purple eyeshadow will bring out the green in your eyes or you can add blue eyeshadow if you have blue eyes. Complete your makeup application with bronzer on your cheeks and a pastel or nude lipstick color and you are ready to show off your new bob hairstyle!

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

Apply sculpture lotion to the palm of the hand and then place it evenly throughout the hair. Sculpture lotion can be used as an alternative to mousse for messy hair, as a styling aid when blow-drying for volume, and for a stronger hold.


step 3

Using the corner of your comb and standing in front of a mirror find the middle of your right eye 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 right part. A side part is great for longer face shapes because it creates the illusion of width.


step 4

It is always a good idea to work in sections. This will help to make your hair styling quicker, easier to follow and more orderly. Comb your hair out and place your hair up into four equal sections, two in front and two in back, starting from ear to ear.


step 5

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 6

To blow-dry under, start at the nape/back and place your brush under the section of hair close to the nape. With the dryer held up over the hair, pull the brush from the roots and continue to the mid length's, keeping the blow-dryer following over the top. Once you reach the ends, curve them under. Repeat this step until the section is completely dry.


step 7

To blow-dry the sides, take out a small section of hair from the front and clip the rest of the hair away. Next, place the brush under the section and then pull the brush and hair forward around your face (this curving motion creates body). Place the hair-dryer on top of the brush until you reach the ends and then turn the ends under. Repeat until dry.


step 8

To blow-dry the crown/top sections, take a section of hair no bigger than the diameter of the brush and blow-dry the hair placing the brush under the section of hair. With your blow-dryer in front of the brush, follow the brush in an upwards direction at the roots and an outwards position at the ends for volume and softness. Continue until the section is dry.


step 9

Apply some wax to your fingertips and then pull through the ends of your hair in a downward motion to achieve a sculptured look. Pinch clumps of hair in different directions for a messier result.


step 10

Using a small amount of wax, work it through the mid-lengths and ends in a downward, pinching motion. For added texture, apply more pinching and more wax.


step 11

Apply some hard wax to your fingertips and then rub it into your roots while lifting your strands for soft volume.


step 12

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 13

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.
