This look is the ultimate trend combination: A bouncy, ’90s bob paired with a classic old money blonde. This shade nods to old-timey blonde tones that lean toward yellow with the perfect balance of neutral. Learn how London-based blonding expert Suzi Angelina (@hair.by.suzi) lightens the hair with health in mind, how to cut a bob to flatter her client’s features and styling secrets to create the classic movement that defines this look.

 

PS—Hey international fam! Please note within these tips, mentions of Moroccanoil® Color Calypso Demi-Permanent Gloss and Gloss Activator are known as Color Calypso Demi-Permanent Cream and Oxidative Cream Developer outside of North America. 

 

From Frayed Ends To Healthy, Bright Blonde:

Suzi’s client was seeking healthier hair, and she knew exactly how to get her there: “When I first met Lyd, she had over-processed, damaged ends. This is the perfect reference to show that long hair isn’t always the best option for you when it’s dry and wispy,” Suzi shares.

 

Don’t be afraid to suggest a chop for clients with dry, split ends while explaining the benefits of a haircut for long term hair health. And, if you’re more comfortable with your blonding placement for long hair (versus short) or prefer to cut hair wet, follow Suzi’s path of lightening the hair first, then cutting the bob.

4. Cleanse. To start the haircut, cut the perimeter of the bob just below chin-length. When it’s styled, it will gently frame the face.

5. Cut long bangs that sit just below the cheekbones and point cut to soften the edges. “When this is styled, the bangs bounce up and open up her cheekbone area to show off her beautiful features,” Suzi explains. “If you have a rounder face, I recommend cutting your bangs just below the chin. If your bangs are cut too short, they open up the jaw area which can make your face appear wider.”

 

6. Prep the hair for styling by applying Moroccanoil® Smoothing Lotion
