Hairstyle Tutorial: How to create a big faux bob

May 15, 2013 By Hair Romance 11 Comments

One of my most frequently asked questions is “where do you find ideas for your hairstyles?”

Honestly I find inspiration everywhere. I love creating shapes with hair, and thinking about new ways to wear a style.

Every season I’m inspired by the looks on the Fashion Week catwalks. They really are the creative centre for hair trends. Sometimes the initial looks can seem unwearable but you can take elements of them to inspire your everyday styles.

Schwarzkopf have also been looking to international fashion weeks to define the key hair trends for 2013 and have put together these four amazing looks –

I was invited to the unveiling of the Schwarzkopf Looks for 2013 at the equally stylish Eau de Vie in Darlinghurst. Grant Withnell, Technical Stylist for Schwarzkopf had spent all day recreating the cawalk looks on some seriously gorgeous models but I got the inside scoop on how to do these looks in your own hair.

Can you guess which look I was dying to try?

The Big Bob of course!

Grant went all out on the night to create the biggest bob he could. He used 5 sets of hair extensions and 5 hair donuts to make this gravity-defying hairstyle! Though I can tell you this style is achievable in your own hair, without any extensions. With just a few product tricks you can get some fabulous volume in your hair.

    Love this! Wish my hair was long enough to do it. BTW that bow necklace looks sort of like a tattoo in that last photo. Kind of cute! x

    Genius! It looks stunning on you. Using a braid to take away the extra heaviness of hair from the nape to the ear line was genius; before I clicked the tutorial I was wondering how you managed to get such a clean ‘lift’ along the nape, and now I know!

    Hmm. I think I could easily do this on my own hair with a little practice.

      Thanks Lara! Because of your undercut and the length of your hair, you could almost do this with teasing and a few pins. would love to try it! x
