this style is for

Dislacimer

The person who loves a sharp, short haircut but wants a color that grows out gracefully without constant salon visits. It’s the ultimate in practical chic.

Hairstyle Insight

"Lived-in" blonde is achieved by a colorist applying a "root smudge" or "root tap," which is a color that matches your natural root, blurring the line where the highlights start.

Key Benefits

  1. The cut is chic and sharp.

  2. The color is extremely low-maintenance.

  3. A very modern and stylish combination.

  4. Embraces the natural grow-out period.

  5. Saves time and money on salon visits.

Common Misconceptions

That "lived-in" color means neglecting your hair.

How to ask your stylist for this style

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

  • Maintain the color with a purple shampoo to keep the blonde bright.


  • Style the bob with a texturizing spray and let it air-dry for that effortless, lived-in feel.

Caring for your hair

This combination has a beautiful, low-maintenance grow-out.


The cut needs a trim every 6-8 weeks to keep its shape. The color can go 3-4 months between touch-ups.

Frequently asked questions

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.
