Rihanna Chin-Length Blunt Bob


Added: 10 Nov 2010
This sexy 'do was Rihanna's look for The 2007 MTV Movie Awards, and it was definitely a head turner. Rihanna is known for her bob looks and this is one that you are going to want to try at least once! Her hair was cut into a blunt bob that fell to just below her jaw line, and blunt edges were added to create a solid finish. Bangs, such as the ones seen here on Rihanna, are a great option to use to cover a high hairline and will draw attention to your eye area. This is a great hairstyle for those with straight hair, as it will make it easier to style this look. Do not forget to apply product on your hair to protect your hair from the heat of the straightening iron, and once you are done styling, apply hairspray to get rid of those flyaway hairs. This hairstyle is ideal for those with an oval, oblong, square, and diamond face shape. You are going to need to cut your hair once every 4 weeks or so to keep this bob in shape and ensure the blunt cut technique is prominent.

When it comes to your makeup application, you want to keep in mind that the bangs draw attention to your eyes, so your eyes will become your focal point. Do not forget to highlight and contour your face and neck area to give off the illusion of the perfect oval face shape and complete your makeup application with your favorite lipstick color and you are ready to show off your new bob!

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

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 3

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 4

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 5

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.


step 6

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 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 right. Repeat until your hair is completely dry.


step 8

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.


step 9

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.
