Get the look…

Tousled bob

Edward & Co created this classic look with a sexy twist for its inspiring collection which made it through to the British Hairdressing Awards 2009 fi nals. Now the salon owner and artistic director Gary Taylor tells you how to do it for your clients.

STEP 1 Gary says: “I prefer working with short hair; I love the defi nition of asymmetric shapes. For this style, start by rough drying the hair – you want to get plenty of root lift towards the crown and temple.”

STEP 2 “Once it’s blow-dried use a standard Denman brush, and blowdry small sections at a time in the direction the hair will be dressed out, making sure the cuticle is fl attened right out.” This creates a sleek bob, also seen in the collection.

STEP 3 To create the texture, Gary says: “Use Clynol Powder Punch lightly sprinkled all the way around the crown area to give plenty of root lift. Then lightly go over the hair with a hairdryer on slow speed to tousle the hair.”

STEP 4 “Scrunch hair between your hands and lightly go over it with a bit of Clynol Free Flow Flexible Spray – it’s done in seconds. I love the way this style follows the jaw line; where the jaw ends the hair starts.”
