How I Style My Short Hair | Wavy Bob Tutorial

Hey guys welcome back to my channel now I know some of you are expecting to see the date night look quick today, but unfortunately it didn't quite pan out how I was expecting it to so. I'Ve had to suck that one off and instead I've brought this video forward, because so many of you have been asking me how I style my hair since having the big chunk. So it was a couple of weeks ago. I believe - and I filmed this all in a vlog - I went off to the hairdresser's and decided to have a rather drastic cut. Now I had about 4 inches off from the length of my hair, how it was before, and the reason for this was because I fancied a bit of a change and also I like, hair with minimal fuss and minimal fat. Now I've had a couple of weeks to play around with having my hair this length and I just find it so much easier to style to maintain and my getting ready time is around about 15 minutes now. I know a lot of you guys want to know how I actually curl it of which curling tongue or iron I use, and I promise I will get to that in a minute, but because I wear my hair like this most of the time I just wanted To run through a few of the products that I use and the technique that I use as well to get this kind of shaggy just got out of bed look, so I tend to wash my hair and have a shower either late afternoon to early evening, and The reason behind that is because I like to let my hair naturally dry, so once I hop out the shower, I give it a quick towel dry and then i spritz in a couple of products, so number one is bumble and bumble a thickening spray and I'll. Let you just give a few spritzes of this: distribute it evenly throughout my hair, followed by another Bumble and Bumble products which is the surf spray, and this gives that kind of salty texture to it again, just a few spritzes of this through my hair and then I brush through using a rather attractive shade of green wet brush. Now I know the color is hideous, but if you guys are each struggling to find a brush which gets through knots and if the tangle teezer isn't quite doing it whew, I would definitely suggest trying away brush. So once I brush through my hair, I just give it a quick ruffle up with my fingers and then that's it. I leave it I've just let it air dry and then obviously I go to bed wake up in the morning and sometimes it can look a little bit fluffy so to get rid of venues that fluff and just to give it a little bit more texture. I use this, which I actually featured in my last hair tutorial video and I still love Ally, absolutely swear by this product. So it is the 30 stay stylist XXL volume spray. It also is a dry shampoo as well, and I'm going to show you guys now how I use it so give it a quick shake, and I just lift up some sections of my hair and give it a quick blast and do it in the back as Well, now most dry shampoos, you have to august massage it into your head, so just give that a quick, little massage and guess myself in the price sites use in a well-ventilated area. Hopefully you guys can see how it gives just a little bit of volume. Obviously, you can add a little bit more in as and when you need it depending on how thick your hair is, but it just adds a bit of oomph and a bit of sort of sexy just got out of bed bite right now. If I have a little bit more time on my hands or if I want my hair to look a little bit nicer, then I might want to add a slight curl or wave to my hair. So for this I'm just gon na go hop in the shower. So that I can show you guys and start from scratch with wet hair right, so I have just given my hair, a quick wash in the shower, and then I've just run to that with my head in a towel. So now I'm gon na start to show you guys look what I did so I'll give it a quick towel dry it just to absorb up any of the like heavy bits of moisture within the length of the hair. So don't rub it too aggressively just give it a quick kind of Pat it's the only thing with having hair this short when you get out of the shower and do this, if you just look like a crazy person right, let's say that's, probably dry enough and Then I'm gon na go to my two favorite products. So, first of all, Bumble and Bumble is thickening spray, not in your eye and then followed by again bubbler mumble the surf spray. I absolutely love this stuff. This stuff I've actually been using for years, and I used to use this when I had really really long hair. So this stuff comes out a little bit of a finer mist. Sorry, I've got a head and then the thickening spray. So I feel like two pumps on the side, one on the back kind of does the job but adjust accordingly, depending on the length of your hair, then I'm gon na give that product a brush through. So it's sorry guys fine looking over here, but that's where my mirror is just to evenly distribute some of the product so that it's not all clumped in one kind of area it just brushes it through the lens and then before I stop blow-drying. I usually just give it a quick who's. Gon na say a quick finger, a quick ruffle up with my fingers, just so that it's not flat cuz, I find when you brush your hair. It tends to stick to your head in your scalp a bit more right. Now my hairdryer of choice has not changed since my last video, it's still my neck and I'll babble is have got no idea. What the number of this is the model number, but it does the trick it drives my hair, I'm so not one of those people that would advise spending a fortune on a hair dryer like those Dyson ones. No, sorry, a basic one does just a good job. Wow, okay, so, as you can see, there was no real drying technique. There just make sure that it's all dry and then I end up looking like this all good to go out. Jokes, I can feel I hope you guys can see. My hair feels thicker. I hope it looks thicker and with the activation from the heat from the hair dryer, it just helps it not sit so closely together, so it just adds a little bit more volume. Okay, now the question on everyone's lips is which wand slash iron. Am i using to create the waves on such a short hair and the answer is this one? So again it is another GHD one. I believe this is called the creative curve. It says GHD tri-zone technology, doesn't it sound magical and but it is a slightly tapered one, so it has a slightly thicker base, tapering up to something slightly thinner and then, if I turn it to its side profile, you can see it's not actually round. It'S almost like it's round but been squashed, so it's similar to the wave ones that I used to use on my slightly longer hair. But I find that because this one has a smaller. I suppose we can still call this a barrel even those around, because this one has a smaller barrel, it's easier for shorter hair, so I'm gon na turn this one on no, what I love about ghd's! Ah, it's that little noise. It takes only a few seconds to heat up. Okay. Now the wound is good to go. I'M gon na start by curling first side. So I always start with this side. Don'T really know why it's just natural thing and very much the same as my last hair tutorial video. I don't section it off. I don't use clips, I'm just not that bothered, so I'm going to get sections and I'm I'm gon na, like strategically measure them, but around about this kind of size and the first one I'm going to curl away from my face. So you place the wand behind and then curl like, so I wrap around a couple of times hold for about five seconds and then release, and the key to this is that because the wand tapers up towards the top slightly, it will create more of a tighter Curl towards the bottom of the hair, so don't hold it there for too long. Otherwise, you will get looking green glitz, so the key is just hold for about five seconds again, depending on how thick your hair is hope for about five seconds and then release - and this is what will create a really kind of soft wave. Now, the next section of hair - sorry guys again, I'm having to look in that mirror over there, I'm going to curl. Oh wait! No, that's the same thing for the next section of hair, I'm going to curl towards my face. So rather gingerly very carefully place. The wand here and wrap around oh hang on a minute wrap around towards your face, so this will create a slightly more natural curl kind of like a beachy look again home for a few seconds release and I sometimes pull the curl as well. Once it's just come off the wand and just pull it a little bit, so it doesn't sit, super high and springy and then just carry on curling away. Okay, so I've done the first half of my head, the first side, so you can see - maybe like this first one here in first couple that are a little bit older than the others they're starting to drop a little bit, which is exactly what we want to Happen because we don't want the curls to be so tight, we want them to fall out a little bit and just form very, very loose waves. So now I'm gon na start on the other side of my hair again the exact same process. So, just when you flip to the other side, you just have to remember that we're curling away from your face and then towards your basically now, maybe other way around, and I always find it's easier with one hand to go on one side rather than the other Side for me, the easier side is definitely that side right there we go. Both sides are now coach and that the only problem that I found with having hair this length is the back section, because with longer hair, you can kind of pull it to the front and you can easily do the strands which, towards the backwards shorter hair. This becomes quite an issue, so you kind of have to feel your way around. So I bought one of these and you guys can see yourself now and off Amazon. Only the link for this one in the description box below and it just helps from using a mirror on a mirror behind you. You can kind of feel around have a look and see which of the bits which you've missed and then go over those with the want. Now there are some really really short sections right: the back of my hair, just above the nape of my neck. These sections are about an inch long. I don't even bother curling, though so that's an entire section about this big at the back of my head, that I don't bother curling the curls over the top cover that section anyway, and you can't even wrap an inch worth of hair around to one. No to add a little bit more texture to this, along with the two bundle of mobile products that I used when my hair was down. I will go back to my trusty XXL volume spray from batiste and just give a couple of spritzes of this in the roof area of, and this just gives a little bit volume at the root. If you need it and a little bit of texture as well. So just massage plating, because it is still a dry shampoo spray as well. So you don't want any of that white residue, give it a little bit of a douche and there we go. You'Ve got an added bit of volume in that. But if you needed something to give, you super super boosted, hair, for example. If you have really fine hair, then try a plumping powder. They are amazing, forgiving volume at roots right. That is it for today's video. I hope you enjoyed it. I hope you found it useful. I will link everything, including the amazing ones, that I use to create this look down in the description box below. So thank you very much for watching, and I will see you guys next time. Bye,
