Voluminous Highlighted Straight Bob Haircut


Added: 11 Nov 2010
This voluminous straight bob haircut features a highlighted, full and sleek 'do with subtle layering, and is perfect for any occasion with its versatility and uncomplicated silhouette. Our model embraces this hairstyle with cherry-red lips and light blonde highlights. Wrinkles compliment her honey-hued eyes with a side-swept bang and a voluminous look on top of her head. This funked-up bob haircut features sexy layers to create fullness, shape and bangs to update the style. For the hair styling, the back has been graduated from the hairline for a clean finish at the nape, and the layers have been taken up to the crown with the edges concave down at an angle. The side layers have been cut to sit above the jawline and blended up to the textured layers through the top, which gives this style plenty of body and volume. This dedicated haircut is an excellent choice for any face shape, and it is mainly suitable for oval, oblong, square, and diamond face shapes, with fine to medium hair texture. The highlighted straight bob, from the mid-length to the natural ends, showcases and prettifies the best parts of the face with a timeless shape that continues to look good on any occasion.

For a perfect hairstyle, make sure you choose a haircut suitable for your face shape and desired length for best results. This hairstyle is best maintained with regular trims every 4 to 6 weeks. Using the wax, piece out sections with your fingertips to achieve this look.

step 1

Squeeze a small amount of straightening balm into your palms and then rub your hands together before smoothing the product evenly through damp hair.


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

Starting at the nape/back of the hair, place your brush on top of the section and blow-dryer down starting from the roots and using tension as you go. Next, place the blow-dryer underneath the hair and continue to blow-dry the ends out. Make sure to follow the brush with the blow-dryer in an outwards direction. If you like fuller flicks, hold the ends out and roll them up into the brush and apply the heat for longer.


step 5

To blow-dry the sides, take out your first sections from the front and clip the rest of the hair up. Place your brush on top of the section, and starting from the roots, blow-dry down using tension as you go. Next, place the blow-dryer underneath the hair and continue to blow-dry the ends out. Continue this step until the hair is dry.


step 6

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 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

Using wax and your fingers grab the mid-lengths of your hair and then drag it out and upwards for a full and messy result. Remember not to overdo the wax or your result will be a flat and greasy style.


step 9

Apply a small amount of wax to your fingertips, and then starting about halfway down the hair shaft, pinch and drag the hair in a downward motion before flicking the ends out. Remember not to apply too much wax as it will weigh your hair down.


step 10

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


step 11

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 12

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.
