How to get your Vintage Faux Bob

Vintage Faux Bob

In the 1920s, when bobs first came into style, the cut was associated with the controversial flapper movement. Still wanting to be fashionable, less daring ladies wore their hair waved and pinned into head hugging shapes. Today, we know bobs are here to stay, but if you want the look without the commitment, this coif is a beautiful way to fake a shorter style. Get your own flapper inspired look in a few easy steps….

Step: Mist hair with KMS FREE SHAPE Hot Flex Spray for a longer lasting style and thermal protection. Curl in large sections using a mid-sized curling iron. Allow hair to cool and brush through gently to create soft waves.

Step: At the nape, pin hair flat with a row of crisscrossed bobby pins leaving the front sections loose. Wrap the ends up and over creating a small roll and secure into the row of pins.

Step: Sculpt the hair around the temples into defined waves and pin to hold in place. Spray with KMS HAIR STAY Medium Hold Hair Spray to hold and finish.

Stylized Bob From Jessie J

Jessie J looks great wearing this stylized bob! A strong and distinct look, it is a flattering length for her features, as the length frames her strong cheekbones and wide smile. The raven color is glossy and shiny, which creates a great contrast to her powerful eyes.

Step: Apply KMS Hair Stay Max Gel to damp hair.
Step: Use a comb to comb hair into a large finger-wave by creating an ‘S’ shaped pattern in the style.
Step: Dry hair with a diffuser so it sets into place, and doesn’t get blown around too much. If waves become to defined or stiff, brush them out a little.
Step: Finish with a dab of KMS Silk Sheen Styling Creme for added smoothness and control.
