Short And Sleek Blonde Bob Haircut


Added: 11 Nov 2010
This is a short and stylish bob haircut with a dramatic profile. The texture of this style is light, but it has enough body to hold up well at work and on weekends. Our model is making her best impression with her glamorous makeup look and flattering hairstyle. Her slender eyebrows and small nude lips are a great match for her light blonde hair color. This ritzy hairdo has smooth layers with roughed edges that create contrast for this look. For this hairstyle technique, the back is layered down from the crown to finish with a blunt edge at the nape. The side layers have been left longer and jagged-cut for a radical finish. A classic but flattering bob is smart for any occasion, particularly when you want to look polished. This haircut has soft, loose hair that give it a relaxed vibe and make it an easygoing style for everyday life. It is a short bob haircut made especially for women with medium or fine hair density, and thick hair is a must for this style. The cut is flattering on almost every face shape, and is perfect for round and oval face shapes, but those with a heart shape should consider a different style.

This stylish bob cut is a great way to maintain your hairstyle and cut it with minimal maintenance. After 4 to 6 weeks, you can re-evaluate your hair color and go back to your straight-tipped bob with the same results. You can wear this style in front of or behind your ears.

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

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

Take a section of your hair no wider than the diameter of your brush. Place your brush under and at the roots of your section. Then with your blow-dryer above, drag the brush up through the mid-lengths and ends of the hair following with your blow-dryer and pulling the hair to the right. Repeat until your hair is completely dry.


step 7

Take a section of your hair no wider than the diameter of your brush. Place your brush under and at the roots of your section. Then with your blow-dryer above, drag the brush up through the mid-lengths and ends of the hair following with your blow-dryer and pulling the hair to the left. Repeat until your hair is completely dry.


step 8

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 9

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 10

To get your sides to sit out, apply a small amount of wax to your fingertips and then working mainly on the ends, pinch them while dragging the hair in an out and upwards motion. Be careful not to overdo that wax or your result will be a flat and limp style.


step 11

Apply wax to your fingertips then drag through your bangs, sweeping the hair to the right as you go. Pinching the ends will create soft texture.


step 12

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


step 13

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 14

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.
