The
faux bob has been growing in popularity since 2010 and the style keeps
showing up at red carpet events and premieres. This style is great for
trying out one of this seasons styles without the commitment of chopping
off your own locks! There are lots of ways to use your extensions for
volume instead of length and using them in this style is perfect for
achieving the super voluminous look of the faux bob style. Our tutorial
shows just how simple this style can be and how using your HeadKandy hair extensions
can give this look loads of oomph and added definition!!
Step 1
Using
a conical wand, add some shape to the top layer of your own hair. These
don't have to be perfect curls or done precisely, they are just to add a
little movement to the style! Give a little lift to the hair at the
roots by holding this up and using a little hairspray to hold in place.
Step 2
Fit
your extensions a little lower down than normal so that these sit in
the straight part of your hair. Using an elastic, secure your hair into a
ponytail and then pull the elastic to the ends of your own hair … this
helps disguise your own hair from your extensions.
Step 3
Using
pins in the same shade as your hair, tuck the elastic at the nape of
your neck. Tuck away any loose ends of hair up inside your 'bob' and if
you have any lose hair that has fallen out of the elastic pin these
under to help with the faux bob illusion.
And that's it! How simple is that?! The faux bob is a perfect night out hairstyle that will take just a few minutes!!
