Description
This short bob haircut is blow-dried to smooth down the top while turning the ends slightly under for a fabulous finish. The grown out bangs are worn down to frame the sides of the face and complete the overall look brilliantly. Regular trims are needed to maintain this hairstyle.
Our model looks flawless here in a chic and timeless graduated Bob. This cut is ideal for showing off her delicate facial features, especially her eyes and mouth. The grown out bangs provides her face with a nice frame while the rest of her hair maintains a smooth, sculpted shape that falls just past her chin. The blunt ends give her locks a healthy looking appearance and keeps her hair looking thick. This Bob has lots of movement to it and works with both casual and formal attire. It also makes her fine hair type appear thicker.
Our model looks fabulous here in light beige blonde locks that flatter her skin tone and eye color nicely. Having green eyes and a warm skin tone, she looks best in beige and platinum blonde shades. This particular color has a hint of gold however that warms up her complexion and makes her eyes pop. Ladies with gold flecks in their blue or green eyes like hers will find that warm blonde highlights make them pop even more.

Styling Steps
Hold the gel spray no closer than 3 inches from your hair and then evenly mist the gel spray into the roots to create a stronger hold style. Gel spray will hold well and will not look wet or weigh the hair down. Using your gel spray in this fashion will create added hold and a longer lasting style.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Using a small amount of moulding cream, work it through the mid-lengths and ends in a downward motion. For added texture, pinch the ends as you go sparingly.
