Step by Step The Sleek Bob a Timeless Classic

This is one of the classic, timeless short hairstyles. It is always in fashion, it’s perfect for any age and simply looks gorgeous any day of the week. Follow the steps below to achieve this beautiful bob.
Steps by steps created in association with Your Hair magazine.

1. Start by prepping toweldried hair with 1-2 pumps of L’Oréal Professionnel Mythic Oil.



2. Once the hair is dry, roll sections onto heated rollers. Repeat all over the head and leave to dry.



3. Remove the heatedrollers and then spray L’Oréal Professionnel tecni art constructor through the hair from root to tip. Straighten the hair with straightening irons, making sure you keep the height at the root.



4. Secure your new look in place with L’Oréal Professionnel tecni art fix design spray.

Hair by L’Oréal Professionnel–Centre of Attention

This season, L’Oréal Professionnel have partnered with Elle to bring you the Hair by L’Oreal Professionnel collection. L’Oréal Professionnel Portfolio stylists have recreated six of the the key looks for Spring/Summer 2012, inspired by the cutting-edge catwalk looks of the S/S12 fashion month.

1. Start by applying L’Oréal Professionnel tecni art pli to the roots and rough blow-dry.


2. Use a good pintail comb to create a sharp centre parting.


3. Lazy-wave sections of the hair using large hair tongs. Curl the two front sections away from the face, the rest can be quite random.


4. Using your fingers, shake hair out and apply L’Oréal Professionnel tecni art super dust through front section, mid-lengths and ends for volume and a matt finish.

Can I wear a quiff?

What hair type do I need for a quiff?
Preferably straight or slightly wavy hair with layers. It works better on colour-treated hair because the cuticle will be slightly roughed up, which makes it hold better.
How do I create it?
Spray a thickening spray on damp hair and use large Velcro rollers on the crown, roll them to the back and blowdry on a low speed, then brush out. Take one inch sections and backcomb with a fine-tooth comb. Repeat on all sections on top of the head until you reach the back of the crown. Make the back lower than the front, then lightly brush over with a bristle brush and smooth down top hairs. Scrape hair back on either side of the head with the brush and hold with gel.
How high should I go?
A quiff is a personal statement. If you're a daring diva wear it three to four inches high for runway impact, but if you're just a fashion toe-dipper, two inches will get you noticed, and respect from the fashionistas for trying!
Do I have to backcomb my hair? Will this damage it?
You have to backcomb for it to stay up, but it won't damage your hair if you only do it occasionally and use a light spray – a hard spray will break your hair when you brush it. To remove, simply wash and condition first and comb hair while the conditioner is in.
What will keep it in place all night?
If pinned right a force nine gale won't beat it, but a handbag-size can of spray could save the day.
