How to Style a Faux-Bob Hairstyle

Faux-bob hairstyles are very trendy hairstyles. They are an ingenious way to obtain a bob hairstyle without cutting your hair. Find out how to style your own faux-bob hair

There are a variety of bob hairstyles and they all look fantastic. Bob hairstyles are very popular this year because they contribute to a low maintenance stylish look. Hollywood celebrities like Rihanna, Victoria Beckham, Gwyneth Paltrow, Charlize Theron have set the trend for this new and hot hairstyle.

Cutting the hair shorter can be pretty scary for most women with long hair but that doesn't mean that they can't get a short hairstyle. The hair can be styled in a bob without using scissors and the name for this hairstyle is �the faux-bob�. The name says it all, it looks like a bob hairstyle but it is a fake. The hair is styled in such a way that it looks like the hair has been cut but it actually isn't.

To get this type of hairstyle you will need:

• bobby pins

• a little bit of skill

• hairspray

You can go for a Rihanna's straight bob hairstyle or Eva Longoria's loose wavy bob. If you are going for the straight faux-bob you need to wash your hair, apply conditioner, blow dry and straighten the hair before styling. If you are going for the loose curls after you blow dry curl your hair using a curling iron.

Part your hair horizontally at the crown of your head. Pin the top part up and leave a few hair strands from the sides of your face, around the ear area, loose. Take the loose hair from the back area, pull it together and tie it low with a rubber band or elastic. Split the ponytail above the elastic, take the ends of the ponytail, pull it through the inside of the split and pin it up close to the scalp using bobby pins.

Let down the top layer and smooth it allover the head. Take the ends of the hair and pin them under using bobby pins.

Set the hair with a little bit of hairspray and you have completely changed your hairstyle without using any scissors and without loosing your hair length.
