Short Light Platinum Blonde Bob Wavy Haircut With Side Swept Bangs


Added: 18 May 2011
The short layered bob haircut is a sweet and classic look, with side-swept bangs that are subtle but can be styled up or down depending on your mood. The layered bob offers an interesting look in the front while balancing out the low-maintenance texture of the sides and back.

Our model perfectly flaunts this hairdo with smoky black eyes and bold red lips. This cut is ideal for curly hair. The shorter layers create a softer look than the longer ones, and the layered cut brings out the crimps and frizz in the hair. For the hair styling, the back of this stunning 'do is tapered into the head with layers cut up to the front and side, creating this wonderful shape best suited for those with long face shapes. The bangs are styled to the side to complement the face and brilliantly complete the overall style. Level your hairstyle with this sleek and stylish bob. This haircut is an excellent choice for women who want a longer, textured bob cut with a layered texture and long bangs.

You can maintain this hairstyle with regular trimming after 4 to 6 weeks and toning treatments to maintain your color into a light platinum blonde shade if you see your roots turning grey. This hairstyle is an excellent look for all occasions. It is easy to change your look with this hairstyle as it is long and wavy, but needs product for hold and shine. Spray a small amount of hairspray into the roots for extra volume and hold.

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 small radial brush is used on shorter hair types to add more body or in longer hair types to create curl. 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

Take a section of your hair from your ear to your temple that is the same diameter as the brush. Place your brush on top of the hair starting at the roots and pull the hair slowly in a backward direction with your blow-dryer following in front. Be sure the section is dry and then repeat the step on a new section of hair directly behind.


step 6

Take a section of your hair from your ear to your temple that is the same diameter as the brush. Place your brush on top of the hair starting at the roots and pull the hair slowly in a backward direction with your blow-dryer following in front. Be sure the section is dry and then repeat the step on a new section of hair directly behind.


step 7

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 8

Apply a small amount of wax to your fingertips and then lightly piece and pinch the ends of your hair.


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.
