Description
Salli Richardson looks stunning with this sleek bob haircut. This bob will suit those with an oval face shape due to the volume balance in this style, and it will also help to soften the edges of your face shape. The way in which her hair twists into her cheekbones also makes this style ideal for those with sharp cheekbones, like someone with an oblong face shape. Salli has parted her hair down the middle, which is needed to ensure that this bob sits well around her jawline. The blunt cut frames her neck area well and is an easy style for you to maintain. All you need to do is cut your hair once every four weeks to keep the bob in shape. Salli has dyed the ends of her hair lighter than her roots, which brightens her face and is an easy color technique to maintain as you do not have to worry about your roots shining through the color.
With your makeup application, a brown smokey eye with false lashes will look stunning, as Salli has shown. Pair it with bronzer, to contour your cheeks, and finish off with a nude or pastel lipstick color.

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.
Squeeze a small amount of straightening balm into your palms and then rub your hands together before smoothing the product evenly through damp hair.
When straightening your hair, first make sure that your hair is completely dry. Then, section your hair off starting from the back/nape using a comb. Straighten your hair starting from the roots and working your way down to the ends using your comb as your guide. Make sure not to leave the straightening iron in one spot for more than 3 seconds.

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.
