The perfect bob-pixie hybrid in 3 steps

It’s almost spring; and summer is just around the corner. Of course, we still have a few weeks of winter left to enjoy, but if you want a new shape for spring & summer, it’s a great time to start collecting inspiration. Whether you went short for the summer or are contemplating a chic crop this bob-pixie hybrid is the perfect choice. Length up top with short sides and back is a great transition shape whether you’re going longer or shorter. A rich caramel base with lighter lengths around the face gives  a softer summer blonde.

Step 1: The sides of the cut should be kept under three inches to prevent bulkiness. A square layering technique will give leanness to the shape for a face-slimming effect. The top length can look great anywhere from cheekbone to chin, but keeping it below the corner of the mouth will allow you to cover the sides when desired for an instant bob shape that conceals the undercut.

Step 2: Kerastase Short Mania will give the shape malleable control, apply liberally when hair is damp and either air dry or gently tousle with fingers. Part deeply as shown to highlight the disconnection or part in the center for a more blended effect.

Step 3: Polish the ends and add separation with a spritz of  Kerastase spray a porter pulled through the tips and smoothed over the sides.
