How to do a faux bob at home

McKnight says you don’t need much to achieve this sort of style – just a great texturising spray, a hair band and some grips.

When it comes to styling, it’s first about deciding on the texture you want. “Whether you go wavy and tousled or smooth and polished, you need to get that right first,” says McKnight. “Then, once you’ve done that, mist my Easy-Up Do Texture Spray, £27, through the mid-lengths and ends – that’ll give you extra added grip that won’t slip. It’s essential for getting the hair to hold. I say it’s like 20 hairpins in a can.”

“Next, gather your hair into a low ponytail at the back, secure it with a small hair band at the end, and then roll it under until you reach the nape of the beck,” explains McKnight. “Using some grips, secure the roll to the hair at the nape, and gently pull hair towards the face to achieve that classic bob length.”

Sounds easy, right?
