Hairstyle Tutorial: How To Create A Faux Bob With Loose Rolling Waves

We need to create a look today that is great for a layered haircut like myself. If you have a medium or long hair and it happens to have some layers in it, this is a great way to style your hair. It takes a little bit of time and just a few products to get it done before I start. I always want to prep my hair and get my hair feeling really good and healthy, so it responds better to the styling products and also to the heat tools. I'M going to use so to do that before I blow-dry my hair. I use one of my favorite products. It'S called one United. It'S a leave-in treatment spray. You spray it in your hair before you blow-dry, and it just helps to keep your hair feeling really good. As you use styling products, and also as you use heat tools on your hair, what you're gon na do is just take your hands and loosely rake your hair into a ponytail right at the back of your neck, and then what you want to do is just Give your hair a little shake and let all those layers just kind of naturally fall out now you can use your fingers and add more or less, depending on how thick your hair is and also where your part is as well you're gon na secure the ponytail In the back of your neck with an elastic, I want to create a little bit of a kind of s pattern wave in my hair, so we use a flatiron to do that. So to make sure my hair has holes throughout the night and the look stays. I'M going to use iron shape 11, it's a great product to use with your curling irons and flat irons. Today, I'm going to be using a flat iron, though, to create this look to do this. We'Re gon na take our product and just spray it throughout those pieces that we've allowed to drop down, and you can mist it pretty liberally on your hair because it's a really great protectant. It doesn't get too sticky. Once the hair is misted, you can let that product sit for a minute and while that's setting we're going to take our ponytail and just twist it into a really loose Chinon. So to do that, I'm gon na take it and just twist it in one direction. Until it starts to buckle on itself and then we'll use a few bobby pins just to keep it in place, so once you have that bun in place, if you feel like you, don't have enough hair sitting over top, you can always lift it up. Lift up the section and just start pulling some pieces out from the bun, so once you get the hair all pulled out on top we'll just take the hair that is sitting over top and just split it into two. Next, I'm going to remiss the hair with the iron shape, use your fingers to work the product through your hair. Once you get the product worked through the section of hair and you clip up the top section. What we're gon na do is use our iron to create a really cool wave pattern and so to create this look. What you're gon na do is take your iron you're gon na actually move your iron towards your face and also away from your face now by alternating the two. You create a really cool rolling wave pattern, so you'll notice in this section that I didn't put a lot of pressure on the iron. So you want to keep a really soft movement as you're using the iron to create the suede. So a couple tips would be not to close the iron all the way and to keep the pressure really gentle. Another tip is, if you don't want to have a lot of volume at the top when you're placing the iron in for the first section. What you want to do is roll it towards your face versus rolling it away from your face. If you roll it away from your face, it's gon na increase volume, if that's what you're looking for or roll it towards your face to decrease volume. Now we're gon na drop down the second half of the section and do this same exact thing place the iron right into this top section and drop down my arm and just lightly, giving it a nice soft pressure to create that first wave. Now that we finished this side, we're going to do the same exact thing on the opposite side, so we're just going to take our fingers and separate the section just clip the rest away in this section. I don't want as much volume. So I'm going to start a little bit lower once you get the flat iron set in there, just let it cool for a minute. Next, I'm going to take some pins and just give it a little more lived-in feel I'm using a hair pin and I'm lightly going to tuck the hair into the bun. Now that I have it all pinned up, I'm just gon na detail it and spray it with some hairspray. To finish this, look off I'm using the quick dry 18. This is one of my favorite looks when I want to have an alternative in length. It makes me feel like I have shorter hair, yet it's still dressed up, so it's really fun and gives me something different.
