From the Wella Professionals team, here’s a how-to for a great bob adaptable to a wide age range and a lot of face shapes.
CUT
STEP 1: Starting in the occipital area with a vertical channel of hair held out from the head, point-cut to create a textured guideline.
STEP 2: Using the same point-cut method, follow the guideline on either side to the back of the ear.
STEP 3: Use a small channel from the completed back section as a guideline for the top section, and create a square layer.
STEP 4: Blend in any corners and weight lines by point-cutting around the curve of the head.
STYLE
STEP 1: Apply Wella Professionals Extra Volume Mousse and blow-dry the hair using a large round brush to create volume and wave.
STEP 2: Continue drying the front area, maintaining the same movement created at the back.
STEP 3: When dry, set with large velcro rollers to support the movement. Spray with Wella Professionals Stay Essential Hairspray to set. Remove rollers and brush out. Apply a small amount of Wella Professionals Oil Reflections through the hair to add extra shine. Finish with Wella Professionals Stay Essential Hairspray
