Salma Hayek Medium Straight Brunette Bob Haircut


Added: 07 Aug 2017
These thick brunette locks are cut to shoulder length to frame the face and jaw line nicely. Ideal for an oval face shape, this striking hairstyle will turn heads at any occasion and is easy to re-create at home with the right tools. Regular trims are needed to maintain this do's shape and keep split ends at bay.

Salma Hayek loves to wear chic and sexy hairstyles that match her bold personality. This bob is not only fashionable for Salma but it also suits her square face shape and thick hair type perfectly well. Salma has a low forehead which looks best with a center part and grown out fringe, as seen here. The rest of her hair has been blow-dried sleek with the ends turned under to frame her face and highlight her strong jaw line. This leaves her with a chic hairdo that has a timeless sense of style and elegance.

Salma adds a striking touch to her simple bob with glossy caramel locks that create drama and intrigue. This works well with her warm, tan complexion and dark brown eyes. Her pageboy-style bob is enhanced with warm bronze tones at the tips for a sun-kissed finish. This shade is ideal for Salma and flatters her coloring nicely without washing her out.

Salma Hayek Pinault, known professionally as Salma Hayek, is a Mexican and American film actress, producer, and former model.

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

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 5

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 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 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 9

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.
