Get The look! Gorgeous updo by Ken Picton
To achieve this look it’s all about the prep. Start by applying full volume mousse to damp hair and create a volumised blowdry with plenty of volume at the roots. If the hair isn’t very thick, you can use a double blowdry technique: once dry apply mousse again to the roots and re-dry, to give that extra thickened feel.
To create that perfect curled finish to the hair, using inch to inch and a half sections, flat barrel curl the hair around the mid lengths to ends. To create the internal base, take half of the hair from the crown and create an internal half ponytail. To do this, put your hand on the crown (open wide, this is the section you’re working with). Leave a two to three inch perimeter of the hair out of the ponytail – you’re taking just the inside of the hair effectively and you’ll be adding the outside section afterwards.
Wrap the ponytail with pads to create a nice big base around the ponytail, then taking two to three inch sections, lightly backcomb the hair that’s left out and add into the padded ponytail to create that bouffant feel. Continue around the perimeter of the head, backcombing each section and smoothing into the shape. Once you’ve done that, dress the curls into place and spritz with dry hairspray to create a soft feel, teasing some pieces out for added softness.

Something Old - Something New
Does the bob ever go out of style? Short answer: No. The reason for the evergreen appeal of the bob is because, depending on the length, it’s a look that can suit any face shape or hair texture. Right now, it can be anything from a short and swingy French girl bob, a luxurious long bob, or a razor-cut curly bob. For Tori Kiff, it’s about keeping things fresh with the addition of a fringe.
“I love updating a classic curly bob with a fringe, especially as so many of my curly clients seem to think it’s a style they shouldn’t have. I’ve managed to show so many clients that it’s all down to fear and that actually, a curly bob is so flattering and easy to style; I advise them to use their fingers to curl their fringes or to use a brush when styling,” shares Tori.
Of course, the most modern way to wear a bob is the Bixie, a hybrid of the bob and pixie; think classic bob updated with a fringe or micro bangs, or you could play with the Butterfly Bob. RUSH Creative Director Andy Heasman’s a fan.
