Hello everyone!. There are so many times when I wish I have a short bob without cutting my hair. While I do not like to use a wig nor wants to cut my hair short, I will be showing you how to fake a short hair-faux bob. All you really need is a handful of bobbies ( you may need a lot if you have thick hair like mine).

About a month ago, I showed you an easy step to achieve messy curly hair using a diffuser. Today, I will be showing you how to fake a short hairstyle step by step.

Step 1

To enhance the natural hair texture, I love to use a diffuser and my color proof mousse to lock in the curls. After drying my hair with my microfiber towel, I will dispense a good amount of mousse in my hands. Then, I will spread it on my hair. I will scrunch the hair upwards toward the scalp. lastly, I will use a diffuser to dry my hair completely just I did in the messy curly hair look.

Step 2

To fake a short hair, start by looping strands of hair up and secure the ends under neck using a bobby pin. Then take another pin. Finally, Place it in the other direction of the first bobby pin to secure the hair strand completely. Repeat this process until you have no long hair left.

Step3

To capitalize on the romantic hairdo you can finish off with a shine holding spray. My all-time favorite is color proof shine hairspray.  Note: this is not a perfect bob. It is uneven which I think it flatters the messy curls.

The look is uneven bob look. After I did this hairstyle, I went out on a date night. I got so many compliments on my hair look. Surprisingly, I never did any compliments when I had a real bob haircut a few years ago.  I even fooled my husband. He thought I had a haircut.

Now, you know my trick to get a bob hairstyle without a wig or a cut.

let me know in the comment below if you have ever tried this hairstyle or not?
