Description
Christina Ricci is rocking this shoulder-length, black bob cut that is paired with layered bangs to frame her eye and cheekbone area nicely. These short and stylish layers cut across the ends make it simple to blow-wave into this form by smoothing down the sides and giving the roots more volume. This hairstyle is ideal for those with a prominent chin area and a high forehead. In other words, it is a great 'do if you have an oval, triangle, heart, or diamond face shape. The hair color is suited for those with lighter skin to darker skin tones. Due to the bangs in this style, glasses will not suit this look. You are going to need to cut your hair once every four weeks or so to ensure the bob stays in shape and your ends stay healthy.
When it comes to your makeup application, your lips will become the focal point of your application, so ensure you choose your favorite lipstick color to showcase in this look.

Styling Steps
Using the corner of your comb and standing in front of a mirror find the middle of your nose 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 middle part. A middle part is a great way to make small, round face shapes appear longer and thinner.
When blow-drying your bangs forward, clip your hair back leaving only your bangs out. Position your bangs evenly in your brush, taking the hair in a forward direction. Blow-dry from roots to ends, keeping the tension consistent, and evenly distribute heat over the whole section of hair that you are working on. Repeat until the hair is dry. This will stop any frizz that may occur.
Using your brush, blow-dry in small sections starting from the sides. Tilting your head forward, place the brush an inch below the roots to hold them taut and aim the dryer above the brush for a few seconds before continuing to the ends. Repeat this step on a new section directly above the dry one.
Using your brush, blow-dry in small sections starting from the nape/back. Tilting your head forward, place the brush an inch below the roots to hold them taut and aim the dryer above the brush for a few seconds before continuing to the ends.
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.
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.
