CC Beauty Live: The Faux Bob

I’m always debating whether or not to cut my hair shorter when I get sick of dealing with my long locks. My hair is pretty high maintenance because it has a mind of its own. I cut it pretty short at the beginning of my freshman year and loved it, but I’ve been growing it out ever since because I missed the versatility. Sometimes though, I still get the urge to chop it. I know I’ll end up wanting to grow it long again so I never do. I’m sure a lot of you deal with this on a regular basis too so let me introduce you to the faux bob. Having long hair allows you to do so many different things, including short styles.

This hair style is really easy to accomplish if you have layers and can instantly change up your look. Celebs do it all the time on the red carpet leaving us to wonder if they actually cut their hair or not. You can achieve the same look with a few bobby pins and some tricks. Watch below!

On my face: Painted Earth Pore Perfecting Primer, MAC Studiofix powder, NARS Multiple in Orgasm, Urban Decay Naked palette for eyes

In my hair: Victoria’s Secret So Sexy De-Tangler, Hana Shine Shield, Amika Oil Treatment, Big Sexy Hair spray, used hot rollers to style

    Is it possible to try this without layers?

    I've done this before and another way instead of pinning is to french braid/braid the longer layers underneath. It does the same thing and it'll be more secure too.

    I suppose you could do it without layers, but it would really just look like you tucked your hair under. The layers are what makes it look like you have short hair.

    You can absolutely braid the longer layers! I like pinning them under because it adds a little bit more volume, but braids definitely do the trick too.

    If you're afraid to change it up, I'd suggest getting long layers put into your hair if it's all one length. Not only will it take out some weight, but it will also give you a little more dimension and switch up your look a bit!

    Normally I have no interest in celebrity clothing lines, I’m really hoping that the one she’s been talking about for two years eventually materializes, but in the interim, I’m totally cool with scouring the web for cheaper imitations of the amazing pieces we see her out and about in.
