Straight Platinum Blonde Bob Haircut


Added: 30 Mar 2017
The razor cut ends of this short and chic Bob make it easy to blow-wave into the shape by smoothing down the sides while adding body to the roots. The bangs are swept across her forehead to soften her face, and this completes her hairstyle brilliantly. Product is needed to tame fly-away hair.

Our model is looking chic here with a messy Bob haircut and a side swept fringe. Our model has an oval shaped face which allows her to try different looks with ease. Her naturally fine hair has been blow dried into place here, with back-combing and teasing throughout to add volume and style. She has a high forehead so she needs to be careful of wearing too much height at the top of her head or exposing too much forehead, but the slick side-swept bangs work well to counteract this. Here she wisely chooses side-swept bangs that not only highlight her blue eyes but also camouflages her high forehead. The finished look is trendy and chic with a feminine touch.

Our model has a fair complexion and blue eyes. She is wearing her hair in a light platinum blonde shade that matches her complexion and eye color very well. Her fine locks benefit from this ultra-light color which makes them appear thicker thanks to the monochromatic color. Overall, this cool hair color complements her style and adds a glow to her fair skin tone.

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

Using the corner of your comb and standing in front of a mirror find the middle of your right eye 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 right part. A side part is great for longer face shapes because it creates the illusion of width.


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

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

To blow-dry your bangs to the side, clip the back and side sections up, leaving just your bangs out. Place your brush beneath your bangs, holding your hair to the side and remembering to hold the tension between your hair and brush. With your blow-dryer on a low setting, apply heat by starting at the roots and make sure to stretch your hair out to the ends. Repeat until your hair is dry.


step 8

Pick up a small selection of hair from your mid section no bigger than your tail comb. Place your comb at the roots and then comb up and down until the hair is standing up by itself. Continue to the crown and finish at the sides. Repeat this step if you require more volume.


step 9

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 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.
