Short Messy Bob Haircut With Natural Waves


Added: 09 Oct 2017
This chic layered bob haircut is blow-dried messy with the hair's natural waves allowed to their thing, while turning the ends slightly out for a fabulous finish. The angled bangs are swept to the side to frame the eyes and complete the overall look brilliantly. Regular trims are needed to maintain this hairstyle.

Our model looks gorgeous here in a modern and edgy layered short Bob. This cut is ideal for showing off her delicate facial features, and strong bone structure. The side swept bangs provide her face with a nice frame while the rest of her hair maintains a textured finish, with kinky waves throughout that add height and volume to her fine hair. This Bob has lots of movement to it and works with both casual and formal attire. It also makes her tresses appear thicker thanks to the cut and random waves throughout. A windblown finish competes the look and gives her an edgy vibe.

Our model looks fabulous here in smokey white-blonde locks that flatter her fair skin tone and eye color nicely. Having light blue eyes and a cool skin tone, she looks best in beige and platinum blonde shades like the one seen here. This particular color has a silvery, ash finish to it that highlights her cool complexion and makes her eyes and her dark eyebrows pop. Ladies with grey flecks in their blue eyes like hers will find that cool platinum highlights make them pop even more. This color needs regular toning treatments to keep it looking cool and ashen.

step 1

Evenly mist gel spray around the top and sides to create a soft hold style. Gel spray will hold well and will not look wet or weigh the hair down.


step 2

Using a blow-dryer on a low heat setting, use the palm of your hand in slow circular movements to dry off the hair and to create a disorganized effect.


step 3

Use your hand to scrunch the hair as you blow-dry. Remember to keep the blow-dryer on a low speed and heat setting and to leave some moisture in your hair.


step 4

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


step 5

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 6

Apply your wax to the ends of your hair and then lightly pinch and scrunch the hair before allowing your wax to set.


step 7

To finish the look, apply wax to your fingertips, making sure to smooth the wax over all of your fingers, then simply pinch the wax onto the ends of your hair, applying as much or as little as needed.


step 8

Apply wax to your palms and then roughly rub the wax into back of your style. Use circular hand movements for a messier finish.


step 9

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


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.
