Textured “Lob” by Alicia Kiwacz
Textured Lob or Long Hair Bob – Aurelio Salon and Spa in New Jersey
by Alicia Kiwacz
When you have a long bob (a.k.a “lob”) it can be difficult to style your hair with the perfect amount of volume and texture. If you have a one-length lob, meaning you have no layers, your curls tend to fall and curl only at the ends. While this may work for some, others can’t figure out how to create the perfect, textured “lob”.
Follow these style tips with the following style equations.
Start: To prep the hair after showering, use HairPlay Texture Shampoo and FreeShape Conditioner. This will put a little extra grit into your hair with the Texture Shampoo and also provide a coating of heat protection with FreeShape Conditioner
Style: First use the Body Build Detangler from AddVolume to damp hair. This will detangle your strands while providing light condition so your hair remains light and lifted. Following that use AddVolume Root and Body Lift at the roots for added volume and grit. A little FreeShape Hot Flex Spray along your mid-shaft to ends will give you added heat protection and slight hold to the hair so you can start creating the basic shape of your hair with a round brush. Finally, HairPlay Dry Wax will give you a matte finish with flexible hold. Style with a blow dryer and round brush.
Finish: This style equation is the most important part of your look. The other style equations work as a base to prep your hair, but this is where the real styling begins. Spray hair with FreeShape 2+1 Styling and Finishing Spray. Use a 1” curling wand and wrap hair around certain pieces. You’re not looking to go for a perfectly polished look. You are going for texture. Once you curl your hair and get a lot of volume, spray HairPlay Playable Texture and lightly scrunch into hair to activate the product. Most of your texture will come from this product. Once you reach your desired look, use HairStay Medium Hold Hairspray to keep your style for 24hrs. Through-out the day you can scrunch your hair to reactivate playable texture!
