Kristen Taekman Medium Straight Light Blonde Bob Haircut


Added: 31 Oct 2016
This platinum layered bob is blow-straightened perfectly to smooth down the top while turning the ends slightly out for a fabulous finish. The grown out bangs are worn layered and down to frame the sides of the face and completes the overall look brilliantly. Regular trims are needed to maintain this hairstyle.

Kristen Taekman looks flawless here in a chic and timeless layered bob. This cut is ideal for showing off her high cheekbones and striking eyes. The grown out bangs provides her face with a nice frame thanks to the layering around the cheekbones while the rest of her hair maintains a smooth, sculpted shape that dusts her shoulders. The blunt ends give her fine locks a healthy looking appearance and keeps her hair looking thick. This ‘do has lots of movement to it and works with both casual and formal attire.

Kristen looks fabulous here in a sleek, chic white platinum blonde color. Her fine hair type looks soft and silky in this shade, although lowlights could be added to create the appearance of thicker hair. Kristen has green eyes and a fair skin tone which is an excellent match for this hair color.

Kristen Taekman is a reality TV personality who featured on The Real Housewives of New York City.

step 1

Hold the gel spray no closer than 3 inches from your hair and then evenly mist the gel spray into the roots to create a stronger hold style. Gel spray will hold well and will not look wet or weigh the hair down. Using your gel spray in this fashion will create added hold and a longer lasting 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 large radial brush is usually used on long straight hair types or to smooth out wavy or curly hair textures. 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

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 7

When straightening your hair, first make sure that your hair is completely dry. Then, section your hair off starting from the back/nape using a comb. Straighten your hair starting from the roots and working your way down to the ends using your comb as your guide. Make sure not to leave the straightening iron in one spot for more than 3 seconds.

step 8

Apply a small amount of moulding cream to your fingers and then pinch the ends on the left hand side of your style down and forward for face-framing texture.


step 9

Apply a small amount of moulding cream to your fingers and then pinch the ends on the right hand side of your style down and forward for face-framing texture.


step 10

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.
