Traditional Red Mid-Length Bob Haircut With Side Parted Bangs


Added: 30 Aug 2012
This traditional bob ‘do is a beautiful, classic look that can be worn for any occasion. You can use dramatic side parts or keep your hair shorter and keep it out of the way with a side part. This style never goes out of fashion. It is the perfect ’do to start when you want to change your hair color or take your look in a different direction.

Our model is perfectly flaunting this 'do by wearing a beautiful soft peach color top with natural makeup look, which makes her overall appearance so graceful. This sexy burgundy bob haircut is blow-waved under to frame the face and jawline, showing off the subtle jagged layers cut around the front and sides. This hairstyle suits women with medium to thick hair density with round or heart-shaped faces and wide side parts. Your hair shouldn't be too fine or thin to style this look properly--it will work best on women with thickness and volume who want to shorten their length but don't want to cut too much of their hair off just yet. On the other hand, oval faces will also look gorgeous in this style. One can experiment with different lengths for added variation to their look—the perfect style for all the events.

This simple yet sexy hairstyle is fantastic as it requires regular trims every 4 to 6 weeks, but it's incredibly easy to keep. All you need is a bit of product to hold and shine. We prefer using a smoothing shine to add a touch of gloss and tame flyaways. It's an ideal look for any occasion, and we highly recommend it!

step 1

Apply styling mousse to damp hair, using your palm as a measuring guide, and evenly distribute it along the hair shaft. Styling mousse will add hold and can help achieve better results.


step 2

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 3

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 4

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 5

When blow-drying your bangs to the side, section your hair up and clip your hair back to leave only your bangs out. Remember to make sure that your bangs are damp to make blow-drying more effective. Next, take your brush and place it underneath the hair and then blow-dry starting from the roots, adding tension to the hair as you go. Slowly pull your section down to the ends and continue until dry.


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.
