Currently have a bob and struggling to come up with some new styling ideas? Ever thought about giving side hair a go? This on-trend, elegant style isn’t just for women with long hair! Short haired girls can work this catwalk-worthy look too!
 
Side hair looks sublime paired with the bob. ‘This asymmetric effect works just as well with long hair as it does with short. Side-swept locks work with all different hair lengths and instantly create a glamorous aura that oozes sophistication. However, you’ll most certainly need to use styling products when creating this hairstyle on shorter hair. Hairspray, gel and wax will all work. Choose which one is best for your hair type to make sure your do stays in place. As for longer hair, a few hair slides are all you need. Try using a few bobby pins to clip your bob into place at the rear; this is one of Hollywood’s top secret tips for keeping hair firmly secure’.
 
Side hair is just as simple as it is quick to style. ‘Start by creating a side parting. Next, sweep back the hair on the side with the least amount of volume and pin into place whilst slicking down onto to your scalp for a smooth finish. On the opposite side, allow your lengths to flow loose. Mix up your look and experiment with straight, curly or wavy textures depending on your mood’.
 
Our advice: Va-va-voom volume is an absolute must-have for side-hair! Before starting, apply Texture & Hold Foamer to add body, shine and instantly breathe more life into your style.
