The asymmetric bob for a neo-futurist style

This structured, asymmetric bob provides a touch of character at the click of a finger, even for the softest of faces! Its asymmetric side makes all the difference. If you want to boost your bob, follow our style advice.
 
The asymmetric trend. Deconstructed cuts, extreme straightening… Asymmetry was all over the catwalks in Autumn-Winter 2012-2013, often highly structured for chic and stylish styles. These asymmetric cuts are particularly well suited to flexible or straight hair which is easier to tame and style. For even bolder asymmetry, go for a fringe so you can play around with it!
 
A hint of half hawk. The asymmetric bob, seen at Léonard, hints at another big trend; the half hawk. As you know, this trend involves shaving one side of your head! If you like the personality of this cut but aren’t ready to part with your precious hair, go for the asymmetric bob, a style which gives the illusion without you having to hack your hair off!
 
How to get an asymmetric bob. To reproduce this style at home, you need to start off with a bob, which can be slightly layered at the ends. For a customised cut with lots of character, consider going for a fringe. To get the asymmetric bob, start by creating a neat side-parting on wet hair. If you’re lacking texture, apply a styling mousse for a bit of extra body. Blow-dry your hair then use your straighteners to get sleek, straight hair, pulled over to one side. On the other side, slick down the remaining hair using a fixing gel. Finally, spray a layer of hairspray across the style to fix in place.
