Ask for a "blunt, jawline-length bob" and a "'lived-in' blonde color with a soft, smudged root."
Tools:
Choosing Products
Sulfate-free purple shampoo for the blonde; a texturizing spray with sea salt; a light pomade.
Step by step instructions to achieve style at home

Caring for your hair

Frequently asked questions
Dislacimer
Dislacimer
Does a jawline bob suit a round face?
It can be tricky. For a round face, it's often more flattering to have a bob that is slightly longer, at or below the chin, or an A-line bob to elongate the face.
