(Left): This cham-peachy blonde sombre flaunts a natural ash root for depth and dimension. (Cham peachy = champagne + peach). Surface layering provides movement to fine hair for this flirty, one-length bob, or wavy bob / wob, as it's sometimes called.

Get the Look: Starting on damp hair, apply Oribe Grandiose all over with Volumista on the roots. Blow dry with a vent brush to achieve volume on the crown. Mist sections of dry hair with Soft Lacquer working spray and then while leaving the ends out, curl with a wand, alternating curl direction from section to section. Once all sections are curled, tousle and mist with Thick Dry finishing spray.

(Right): Reflective slate grey roots melt into a light gunmetal blonde for this transitional midlength hairstyle. While growing out a pixie, this bob can bevery versatile and  worn a number of ways.

Get the Look: For a soft, flared back look, apply Oribe Maximista all over before rough drying the hair to remove the moisture. Mist 1.5-inch sections with Soft Lacquer and loosely curl with a ¾-inch iron, leaving a hint of movement throughout. (Optional) Pin the back up to give a slight A-line quality.
