Kim Kardashian Medium Straight Black Bob Haircut


Added: 29 Jul 2018
These thick black locks are cut to shoulder length to frame the face. Ideal for an oval or oblong face shape, this striking hairstyle will turn heads at any occasion and is easy to re-create at home with minimal styling products and tools.

Kim Kardashian loves to wear sexy hairstyles that match her bold personality. This bob is not only fashionable for Kim but it also suits her oval face shape and thick hair type perfectly. Kim has a low forehead which looks best with a center part and grown out fringe, as seen here. The rest of the hair has been blow-dried straight then flat ironed to frame her face and highlight her strong cheekbones and large, almond-shaped eyes. This leaves her with a chic hairdo that has classic style and elegance.

Kim adds a striking touch to her simple bob with glossy jet black locks that create drama and intrigue. This works well with her warm complexion and dark brown eyes. No highlights are needed here as this geometric bob looks fabulous in one striking color. The glossy tone of this 'do also gives her locks a healthy looking shine.

step 1

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 2

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 3

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 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

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 6

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 7

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 8

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.
