Aveda How-To | Long Hair Faux Bob Hairstyle to Celebrate Any Occasion

http://www.aveda.com/product/5290/16981/hair-care/pure-abundance-hair-potion Try out a shorter hairstyle with this faux bob look using a perfectly crafted ponytail. In this hair tutorial, Aveda Artist Jill creates the illusion of a long bob hairstyle with either curly or straight long hair. For this look, flat iron hair smooth, straight or work with your natural hair texture. Create a small braid that sits slightly above the back hairline. This braid will act as an anchor to pin hair up and will be hidden by the ponytail. Before creating the ponytail, apply Brilliant Emollient for curly hair or Light Elements Smoothing Fluid for straight hair. Next, create a low ponytail by securing with an elastic band 2-inches below the nape of the neck. Move the secured elastic band up to the hidden braid. Anchor the ponytail by pinning the band into the braided hair. Finish the look with Control Force Firm Hold Hair Spray for maximum hold. Click the link above to learn more about Aveda Control Force.
