Medium Straight Layered Brunette Bob Haircut


Added: 10 Nov 2010
A medium straight layered haircut is the perfect look for the busy woman. It's easy to style, suitable for all occasions and can be combined with different layers and styles to create your own unique look. A light and bouncy bob with the right amount of layers is perfect for those who want to maintain a loose style without looking messy. Some of the highlights of this haircut are its smooth sides, high-volume top and fullness at the crown.

Our model's medium-length layered brunette bob haircut perfectly flaunts this glamorous style. The model wears a sleeveless top with a silver chain and smokey eye makeup, which highlights the hairstyle on her perfectly! For this hair styling, an unusual chin-length Bob cut with razor cutting resulted in a more graduated textured look. Small sections on both sides have been left longer for a wispy fall out onto the neck. This is an achievable and flattering look that creates movement on the face. The layered bobs provide volume, while the short sides make it easy to style with a flat iron or curling iron. This is the perfect style for thin, parted, straight or wavy hair.

This beautiful layered bob is a great option for women with medium to thick hair that needs more control. The medium cut layers the top of your head and will frame your face. This haircut is ideal for women with short hair who want a little more length at the back of their head and around their ears but still want to maintain a style that can be trimmed regularly in order to prevent split ends or other damage.

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

It is always a good idea to work in sections. This will help to make your hair styling quicker, easier to follow and more orderly. Comb your hair out and place your hair up into four equal sections, two in front and two in back, starting from ear to ear.


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 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 5

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 6

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 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 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

Lacquer is great for strong hold. A small amount is all that is required to finish and should be applied from an arms length distance to the entire style.
