Celebrity Hair How-To: Kerry Washington AMA Faux Bob

Celebrity Hair is like the beat of our heart at Salon PK Hair Salon. And I so adore that Kerry  Washington is a chameleon with her hair styles, able to go from sleek and modern, to simple and sexy.  She rocked a hot hair style for the American Music Awards this past Sunday that declared- Our “SCANDAL” darling is always up for doing something new and fab ! The lace and color for her dress at the American Music Awards needed the hair to be up with a softness in texture but more energy than a traditional up-do. Pinning Kerry’s hair under the create a faux bob gave the look a strong silhouette for a bold color dress.

Creativity & Expertise is a must when a client wants to try bob lengths without committing to the cut.  For the celebrity in you-Here’s my Faux Bob Guide.

Using a little Hair Elements Atlantis Setting Foam and a minute amount of pure Moroccan Oil on damp hair, blow out the hair using a medium size round brush. Find the side that naturally parts and swoop the bangs to frame the face. With a 1/4″ ceramic iron wrap small sections of hair from roots to ends throughout the head. (A smaller iron will give the volume and longevity to the look you need). The sections of hair around the face should be wrapped on the iron away from the face. Lightly spray each section with a medium hold hairspray like CHI Ultimate Shaper.

Brush out the hair with a flat paddle brush, like a Mason Pearson, to soften the curls which will also expand for more width and volume. Take the back section of the hair and roll under toward the nape into a large pin curl and secure with large bobby pins from each side so they’re parallel with each other. Then do the same with both the left and right sides. Leaving the shorter layers around the face and on top make it more fun and youthful. Always add a few more bobby pins for a more secure foundation. Finally seal the hair with Encompass by Hair Elements for sheen and humidity resistance.
