We may have said this before, but short hair is really having a moment right now. All of the stunning celeb lobs, bobs, and pixies could really make any girl rush off to the salon. Then again, one glance in the mirror at your cascading waves might be enough to make you rethink that decision. The middle ground? Faking it. Why commit to short hair for life when you can commit to short hair for a night? Enter: the faux bob. To show us how to master the style, we turned toВ the mastermind behind Mane Addicts, celebrity hairstylistВ Jen Atkin.
Scroll through for the step-by-step tutorial!
Justin Coit Before
Start with dry hair. If you have naturally straight hair, add a few loose waves first. Don't go crazy-you just want to add a little texture.
Justin Coit Step One: Dry Shampoo
Another important texture-helper? Dry shampoo. Spray it all over to give your hair some grip. Atkin likes R+Co's Death Valley Dry Shampoo ($29).
Justin Coit Step Two: Gather
Gather your hair and slide it through Sarah Potempa's The Wrap Up Hair Styling Sponge ($10).
Justin Coit Step Three: Slide
Then, slide the tool down the lengths of your hair, leaving about three inches out.
Justin Coit Step Four: Roll
Next, roll it up, rolling under towards toward your head, but stopping before you actually reach your scalp.
Justin Coit Step Five: Pin
Grab some bobby pins-you'll need several large pins-and start securing the underside of the roll.
Justin Coit Step Six: Keep Pinning
To anchor your hair at the nape of your neck, crisscross the bobby pins as you go. That X shape will prevent fall out.
Justin Coit Step Seven: Tease
To make sure the bob doesn't look to prim and polished, rough it up with a little backcombing. Atkin recommends using a boar bristle brush to get just the right amount of messiness.
Justin Coit Step Eight: Hairspray
Spritz hairspray all over. Atkin's a fan of Oribe's Superfine Hair Spray ($33).
Justin Coit Step Nine: Add Accessory
For the finishing touch, add a simple hair accessory. We added three gold bobby pins.
Justin Coit Done!
And that's it-now you've got short hair for the night!
