Graduated bob step-by-step tutorial

Follow this simple step-by-step tutorial to master the Graduated Bob Cut look:

Step 1: Prepping the Hair with Mrs Bond in-salon service by No.Breaker

Start by prepping the hair with Penetraitt Shampoo and towel dry until 75% dry.
Apply No.Breaker to the hair section by section from roots to ends. Work your way all over the head with fine sections for an even product distribution.
Layer the hair with Penetraitt Conditioner, applying to the mid lengths and ends. Comb through and gently massage into the scalp.
Develop under a hot towel or heat for 10 minutes before rinsing. Blowdry as usual.
Working on dry hair, refabricate with Dark Oil Styling Oil. Apply it evenly and thoroughly through the lengths and ends.

Step 2: Sectioning

Section the hair in two by creating a parting from behind the ears.

Step 3: Creating the perimeter line

Create your perimeter line by using the horizontal skimming technique. Work with horizontal sections in the natural fall until you reach the top of the head. When moving to the sides, work in smaller sections and elongate the strokes. Take a diagonal angle toward the lips, which will be your reference point.

Step 8: Styling the hair

To style, use a cocktail of Dark Oil and Microweb Fiber. Liberate the fibres of Microweb Fiber by pressing your palms together around the hair, then gently rough dry.
For a perfectly imperfect look and feel, give a shiny finish with Dark Oil Fragrant Hair Mist.
