A busy professional who travels internationally for work recently underwent a complete hair transformation, trading in her overgrown and hard-to-manage style for a chic cropped bob. The client, Meagan, came in for the first time with a hairstyle that had lost its structure and needed immediate attention before her next voyage.
Meagan has very thick and wavy hair. Her previous cut featured an undercut, which had grown out several inches and lost its shape, creating a disconnect between the shorter interior and the longer top layers. She was ready to go shorter and wanted a more polished look without feeling rigid. Her hope was a low-maintenance cut that still looked stylish, so the stylist recommended a chic cropped bob. This style is timeless, structured, and very versatile.
After washing her hair, the stylist began by eliminating and refining the grown-out undercut, carefully blending the shorter interior with the longer exterior layers. This step is crucial to properly blend the hair and maintain a solid weight line. Then, the stylist worked on the bob shape by creating clean lines that hug the jawline and incorporating subtle internal layering to add movement.
Before styling, the stylist applied Maria Nila Cream Heat Spray and layered Maria Nila True Soft Argan Oil to the mids and ends to soften, reduce frizz, and provide heat protection. Next, Maria Nila Gloss Coat was sprayed on as a smoothing treatment that gives beautiful shine and controls humidity. The hair was blow-dried with a paddle brush, touched up with a flat iron, and finished with a styling cream to define the style and provide control, texture, and shine.
The result is a chic, low-maintenance cropped bob that is perfect for a busy professional who needs a polished look that stands up to frequent travel.
