Tools:
Choosing Products

A sulfate-free shampoo; a blue toning shampoo to keep the color ashy; a leave-in cream for air-drying.

Step by step instructions to achieve style at home

  • Style the French bob by letting it air-dry for that authentic, lived-in feel.


  • Keep the color cool by using a blue toning shampoo once every 1-2 weeks.
