Let's Talk Summer Trends: Trend 2 The Parisian

You know her these days, she has that perfectly effortless look. She never looks done up, yet she is. Black T, blue jeans, and some ballet flats, at night, its some sexy black heels.

She carries a cross body, she often has a vintage leather jacket somewhere near her. She’s Parisian Chic. She has style without too much and without even trying.

What does her hair look like? Well a soft tousled collar bone to chin length bob is likely what she’s rocking. She sports nautical stripes in the summer and still makes it a statement. Her texture? Natural. She uses some leave in conditioner and oil combs out her hair and goes through her day just as effortlessly as it started.

How do you achieve this look? What do you ask for in the salon? Is this doable for you? Well these are all things to discuss with your hairstylist.

What cut and color are you looking for? Let’s talk color, She’s easy breezy, Her color matches her natural, with some golden glaze on top to accentuate the colors. What service is this? Toner/Gloss and a haircut. Ask for a Demi enhancement of your natural color for shine and vibrance. Let the sun do the rest.

The cut? This cut is a combination of texture and precision. She has interior layers, but nothing that shows unless she tousles it up to show it. She shakes her head for extra volume in the day. This can be achieved with slide cutting OR a razor depending on your natural texture and density.

Her shape? A blunt bob, but with a soft line. Meaning she has a perfectly straight line from back to front with the front inch maybe 1/4” longer than the rest. She lets her head/neck shape dictate where it falls.

Her bangs, razor cut with a taper from middle to sides in length.

How do you style this at home? In the shower shampoo with a balancing shampoo like the balancing shampoo from Mr.Smith. Conditioner is more luxurious like the luxury shampoo from Mr. Smith. While your conditioner sits before you rinse it use a wide tooth comb to comb through your hair. Rinse, and towel dry.

NO COMB OR BRUSH AFTER YOU RINSE YOUR CONDITIONER. After the shower:

Step 1: 2-3 pumps of either Davines oi oil or Mr. Smith Serum distribute evenly through your hands apply ponytail section down, whatever is left on your hands use to piece out your bangs and roots.

Step 2: Use Davines All in One milk to spray evenly through the hair, scrunch and go.

You’re ready for the day. And that is how you execute the Parisian Chic bob,

Bisous,
