How to create the perfect bob.
Out of all the popular 2011 hairstyles, the bobs are a fantastic hairstyle that nowadays can mean a multitude of different shapes. You have your Pob shaped bobs, your bobs with one side longer than the other, bobs that find their base at your eyes, and bobs with more fringe than bob. But how can all of these bobs be achieved without professional help? This is where the help of the wonderful ghds comes to our rescue.
They are able to create that shaped look in an instant, and with practice you will be able to create the desired look in a few minutes. The key is to have your hair cut in the perfect shape and then all you have to do is follow the line of the hair with your ghds for maximum effect. However, most bobs have the same basic principle of curving under at the roots, so I will help you create the traditional bob and then you can adapt to your style.
The key with straightening your bob is to do it in sections. With a bob you are best to split it into top and bottom. To clip up the top half simply place your thumbs above your ears and draw a line round the back of your head until your thumbs join. Then the hair that is in your hands can easily be clipped up on top of your head out of the way.
With the underneath section use a brush and your ghds to create volume. Move the straighteners from the root to the tip with the brush following, pulling your hair away from your head, then as you approach the tip roll the irons and brush under; this will give you the bevelled edge of a Bob. Repeat this same process with the top section of hair you had previously tied up. You will then have the perfect Bob shape.
It is as simple as that, so embrace your Bob and let it be a piece of artwork.
