Hairstyle step by step: layered asymmetric bob with soft redhead colour

Published 27th Dec 2008 by alexherrera

A step by step hairstyle guide to creating a layered, asymmetric bob with soft redhead colour from Stephanie Gallien for La Biosthetique

Cut
	>		>
1. The hair was sectioned at the crown creating a point at the nape.		2. Using the comb as a guide, a strong, slightly concave outline was created working up to the occipital bone.		3. The back sections were layered into a curved line working with the head shape and using the previously cut outline as a guide. Every subsequent section was over-directed to the first to maintain more length in the perimeter. This was repeated in front of the ear.
	>		>
4. Horizontal layers were created starting at the crown and each subsequent section was overlapped slightly.		5. This was repeated for the front section and the first section was over-directed to the crown to keep weight through the fringe.		6. Hair was blow-dried and cut freehand to personalise.
Colour
	>		>
1 Hair was sectioned at the crown, from just behind the parting to the fringe area, leaving out the contour near the hairline.		2. Tint & Tone 8/7 8V light blonde violet and 8/1 8A light ash blonde was applied in a ratio of 2:1 using Tint Lotion 9% (30 vol) at the front of the head.		3. The base colour Tint & Tone 8/7 8V light blonde violet and 8/1 8A light ash blonde with 5/7 5V light brown violet was applied with a mix ratio of 2:1, plus 2cm of 5/7 5V with tint lotion 5% (20 vol) at the nape.
