Get the Look: Wavy Faux Bob

1

Begin on Clean Hair

To begin your wavy faux bob, wash hair with TRESemmé Pro Pure Damage Shampoo and Conditioner. After washing your conditioner out, apply a dime-sized amount of Suave Professionals Honey Infusion 10-in-1 Leave-In Conditioner throughout your damp hair to help guard your hair against heat damage while drying.

Section Your Hair

After drying your hair, create a “U” shaped part at the crown of your hair, then clip the section away while you focus on the back.

Roll Hair Up and Pin

Now, your wavy faux bob is going to take shape. Roll the ends of your hair all the way to the back of your head, right at the nape. Pin it in place and make sure it’s secure and flat.

Almost There!

This is how your hair should look. Spread the hair apart so that it is balanced on both sides of your face.

Create Waves

Release your top section of hair then use a hair wand to create waves. To create the perfect looking wave, simply curly hair forward, toward your face. Hold the wand in place for a few seconds, then remove but hold onto your curl. Allow the hair to cool, then release.
