Two Ways To Style A Layered Bob Haircut | L'Ange Le Volume | Get Ready With Me!

Hi, everyone welcome to faith and flour, i'm robin and in today's video i'm going to be showing you how i am styling my new layered bob haircut before we get started. I just wanted to say thank you to all of you who left such sweet comments when i cut my hair. You'Ve really made me feel good about my decision and i've been enjoying it so much a lot of you have asked me: how do i style it? So i'm doing a different style video today, showing you how i get ready for the day to achieve two different looks so the first is this just straight: look with the layered bob kind of the classic look and the other is the more sort of modern beachy Wave look - and so i have been playing around with both of these i'm in no means a professional, so this is just how i've been doing it and because the haircut is still pretty new and i'm using a new styling tool. I haven't perfected everything yet, but this is what i'm doing to achieve the looks that you've been seeing. So if you're interested in that, then keep watching i'm going to be showing you how i do a blowout of my layered bob hairstyle. So it's going to be a straight look and i'm gon na try to give it as much volume as possible. As you can see, my hair is pretty flat. It'S um! I wash it this morning and it's been drying a little bit. I towel dried it. I have just a little bit of wave in my hair, it's more pronounced in the back. You can see that than in the front, but it tends to want to dry straight. If i just let it air dry for the most part. So i am going to do a blowout to give it as much volume as possible and i'm going to first show you how i would just do it with a blow dryer and a round brush. That'S how i've always styled it before, but i have a new tool that i'm going to show you and this video is in no way sponsored it's just something that i bought on my own and i've been really loving. So i wanted to show it to you guys today, and it just makes this same style so much easier and faster, and i think it's even more gentle on my hair. So, first of all, i'm going to just talk you through a little bit about how i would just achieve this. Look with a regular round brush like this and a regular blow dryer. So, first of all for styling, i like to use the aquage for my roots. So i'm going to put some of that in and i'm looking a little bit behind the camera at the mirror. You can see what i'm doing here and i just spray some in the roots kind of massage that in a little bit a little extra in the back run that through really good. So after i get that in my hair, i've also been using this l'ange salt and c texturizing spray. I'Ve got both of these products in my amazon store, along with the tool that i'm going to show you, and with this i love it. It really gives my hair some texture, because my hair is very fine. I have a lot of very fine hair, so it's thick because i have a lot of it, but it's very fine, so it doesn't like to hold a curl. It doesn't like to maintain volume. So any products that i find that help me out in that area, i'm really loving and this one's great and i usually wash my hair about every other day. So this tends to give me enough sort of oomph in my hair to get some more volume out of it the second day so after i have worked all that in, i actually just used my regular blow dryer to get the roots rather dry. Before i start styling it and the way i get as much volume as i can, i'm sorry not gon na be able to hear once i turn this on. I i turn my head upside down and get the roots, so i'm gon na do that quickly. Probably not gon na be able to hear me once i turn that on, but i just kind of toss all my hair around lift it up at the roots and try to get the root area somewhat dry before i start styling it. So i can do that. First, so, as you can see, after blowing it dry at the roots, i've got a little bit more volume going on here, and so this is good. This is what we want and i'm going to start by just showing you without actually doing it. How i would use my round brush in the blow dryer to achieve the look that i'm going for today, and so what i would do is take a section of my hair and i always section off my hair and start from the bottom and work. My way up, but just for demonstration purposes, i'm going to show you what i do so i take the brush and i would roll it and over direct it so pushing it over and then i would take my blow dryer up and down like this. You can see and and blow dry downwards, not up like this, because this will just rough up your hair. It will be frizzy, and this will give you the smooth look like i said you can totally do the same. Look with just a blow dryer and a round brush, but this makes it a lot easier. This tool is sort of a blow dryer sort of curling iron flat iron brush all in one, and so it's got a metal barrel, and i don't know if you can really see the shape i'll, try to aim it. So you can see it's like an oval shape, so, instead of round it's oval - and it just does a great job of smoothing, my hair, giving me volume and because it's just one tool all in one, it's not as complicated. You know holding a blow dryer with one hand and the brush with the other, if you're not used to styling your hair. That way it takes a little practice, and this is just easy. So i'm going to show you how i do that, and i always start off by sectioning off my hair so that i can work with it layer by layer. So do that first, all right! So i've got the layers. I'Ve got two layers pinned up on top of my head. It'S plugged in it doesn't take any time to warm up and it's got about four different settings on it. It has a cool, a low and high setting, and i find that i only really need to have it on the low which, with the heating tools, depending on your texture, hair, definitely go with the lowest setting that you can get away with. To achieve the look that you're going after so you won't damage your hair, and so basically you just turn it on and you can switch it over to cool to help set it, and sometimes i do that as well. So i will have it on low and hold it that way for a couple of minutes and then, when i'm ready to set it i'll, switch it over to cool. So, let's get started and i'll show you i'm just going to go around the bottom section, lifting it up and curling it under to get as much volume as possible. This is on the low setting and i'm just putting it in lifting it up and rolling it around on this bottom layer. It'S not giving me a ton of curl, but i'm just kind of directing that hair up and under, and i'm going to continue doing it all around this bottom layer. Okay, so i've got the bottom layer done and i'm going to take the next one down and just keep doing the same thing all the way around. So i've got the next layer done and, as you can see, it's starting to get a little bit more body up here and the top layer will be the most important as far as redirecting it over directing it. You know in the opposite direction that it's going to lay to lift it a little bit more, i'm just going to check the back quickly. If i have any sort of, i see back here a place where it's sort of flipping, so i'm going to work on that just to get it to go under a little bit more now, i'm just taking down this top layer and i'm going to keep doing The same thing working in sections and over directing so just here in the front, i'm going to kind of blow dry it the opposite way, but i know that it's going to lay at least at the roots. Okay, so that's pretty much it and then i would just take my brush kind of make sure that it's rolled under i'm having a lot of problems with my hair flipping today, of course, normally it tends to go a little bit better. I think i'm working at a weird angle trying to be in front of the camera, but i just will keep trying to lift it a little bit and create the volume, and i forgot my hairspray. So this is the kenra volume spray and i will just mist it a little bit. I have a lot of little baby hair flyaways, so i kind of smooth those down and i check the back here - give everything a little mist and that's it. So you can see i've got a little bit more volume. I mean with my texture here. I never can get like a ton of lift on top, but this is pretty good and with this tool i found that it lasts pretty much all day unless we have very humid weather. So that is the straight look for the layer bob. The second way that i've been wearing my hair is sort of a beachy wave look. I have a little bit of natural wave in my hair, but it's kind of hard to coax out, and so i usually use this method or have this look on the second day. So i blue dry, my hair, like you, saw yesterday, and this is what it looks like on the second day - it's a little bit flat and, as you can see in the back, it's flipping up a little bit and so, instead of redoing, my hair, which is Easy to do with the tool that i showed you, i am going to use my curling iron and just give it some beachy waves that'll, give it a little bit of volume and it's pretty quick and easy too. So i'll show you how i do it. I am just using a large barrel, curling iron. I think this is a one and a half inch. So if that's not right i'll put it down below um, and this one is just one from conair, it's nothing special. I would recommend, if you want it to be a little bit of a tighter curl or you want it to last a little bit longer that a smaller barrel is probably better, but if you're just going for a beachy wave that will just last for one day At least in my hair it does i like using this big barrel, so i just start off just like i did yesterday, i'm looking in the mirror behind parting off my hair, and i will just take one layer kind of flick it around at the top. It'S always a gorgeous look, and then i do a second layer and just get this out of the way turn around. So you can see, and that way i don't have you know too much hair to deal with and it's a little bit easier and so i'll. Just start with this bottom layer and i'm just going to take the curling iron and basically roll it back away from my face until the center and back and then away from my face on the other side. And so i just put the barrel in and again i'm just going to like over direct it to give it volume, and these lower layers are not really going to be seen and you're not going to really notice a big difference. But it's just going to give it a tiny bit of body below there again i'll, take another piece and just be careful when you're doing this, because when you have shorter hair like this, it is easier to burn yourself when you're getting close to the root and That is the trick with this i found is getting your curling iron as close to the root as possible and also sort of lifting it up and i'll show you on some of the upper layers. What i mean by that just lost my comb in the sink and again on this side there we go almost burnt my ear, i'm sort of famous for burning myself with a curling iron. I'Ve had some epic burns and i really love that tool. I'Ve done a video on it before it's the chi, curl and spin. I think it's called curl and spin, and i have a video where i reviewed that i love it, but with this length hair, it's just not doesn't work really well, it's better for longer hair, but for longer hair. It'S wonderful and it's like a burn proof way to curl your hair, which i love. It does the most beautiful curls and it's really easy all right. So i've got it get my mirror, so i can check it too, as you can see in the back. I mean it's not great, but this is all going to be covered and it's just giving it a little bit of you know something going on back there. A little bit of volume, so i'm going to take down the next layer and you can do depending on the thickness of your hair um. You know more layers just so that you're not putting too much into the curling iron at one time and i'm just going to kind of direct it up, and here you can see a little bit better. What i'm doing i'm just kind of slowly spinning it around and then, when i'm ready to take it out i'll, just let it go down and it's just a very slight bend almost. But we're gon na try to get as much volume out of it as possible. And i do not really brush my hair before i go to bed at night uh. You know i have some hair product in there, some hairspray and stuff, as you saw, and i find that my hair does better. If i just pretty much leave it alone before i go to bed and then when i get up in the morning, sometimes you know some of that product is still holding and i have to brush it out, but i just find that it does a little bit Better, it's a little less flat if you have really fine hair like i do. Let'S do that, so i'm just going to keep going i'll, probably speed it up a little bit here. So you don't have to watch every little bit and when i get to the next layer i'll talk you through what i'm doing okay, so i've got the next layer and now for the top layer, and sometimes i will separate this out again. If i feel like it's necessary, i just kind of go through and see and a couple other things that i should mention. I kind of don't stick with the same sort of width, hair that i put in. I vary it a little bit so some areas. I will take less hair some areas a little bit more just to make it look a little bit more natural, a little less regular and with my very fine hair, i don't need to have really high heat, so this one is adjustable. I would definitely recommend getting a curling iron that has different levels of heat, so that you can change that according to what you need and just try to use the least amount of heat you can for the type of hair that you have so that you're not Going to burn it - or just you know, process it over time in a way that's going to be damaging just try to get up. I think i just turned it up a little bit so i'm over directing it up, so i can get some volume there as i slowly twist it around and you don't have to hold it in for too long and take it out and you can see i Created a little bit of volume, it's probably going to go a little flat on me, but i can fix that when i'm styling it i'm going to grab the next section, do a little bit thinner section this time, and just once i get to the middle of My head, i pretty much start rolling the other direction so that it's always going away for my face. I'M going to use the mirror, i don't know if you can see what i'm doing, but i use the mirror to make sure i'm grabbing all the hair in the back switching hands this time trying to keep it perpendicular to my head as i roll it around. Starting at the root to get the most lift and last piece again just pretty much curling it almost straight back. I definitely found that it's important to let the hair cool before you do anything to it. So i let it sit like this be back in a second i'm going to grab my hairspray, because i'm going to give it a little spritz too before i do anything to it and that will help it keep its hold. So this has always been my favorite. This is the kenra volume spray i have it in my amazon store um. I have it both in this um. I don't know if it's aerosol, but it's like an airsoft spray and then also the pump is really good too um, just whatever you prefer this one. Probably does a little bit more of an even you know finer coat, so i'm just gon na spray that all over just lightly and give it a minute. So it's not wet and the best thing to do to style. It is to just kind of finger comb. It a little bit, you don't want to break up the curl too much because there's not really much curl, it's just a slight wave and you see how i created a little volume here. I just mess with it a little bit kind of run. My fingers from underneath lift it up then, in the front just rake it slightly. It'S gon na be that sort of messy look. So you can see it's just a very easy messy look once i quit playing with it i'll spray it again with hairspray, i'm going to turn around and take a look at the back, because that probably needs some attention, not sure if you can see what i'm Doing kind of keep on making sure it's flipped up in the back, and once i have it like, i like it i'll give it another spray. Just lift it up a little bit like that. If you want just a little more volume at the top, i'm messing with it a lot more than i normally do and that's pretty much it i mean if there's any little pieces, sticking out that you don't like just kind of fix those, but that's basically it So i'll try to turn around and show you what i did so that's my second look, my second day hair. It'S just a really casual wave like i said. If you want more, i would use a smaller barrel, curling iron and the same exact method, and you will definitely get a tighter curl. This one tends to just give some volume at the top and just like a little flip around the bottom. So there's how i style my hair. Thank you guys for being interested and for all of the really sweet comments that you've given me about my new do and if you have any questions, make sure to leave them in the comment section.
