So you got a new bob haircut and wondering how you can style your short hair? Our Leading Stylist, Sham Adam, aka the King of Bob haircuts, is here to demonstrate 3 easy techniques that you can DIY at home to style your short or mid length hair and create soft volumising curls.

Get ready some hair clips or rubber bands to section and secure your hair so you have a neater setting to work with. For beginners, you may want to first practise the hand movements without switching on your straightener.

VERTICAL FORWARD WAVE

For the bottom half of your hair near your face, we want to use this section to frame your face and have a slimming effect. Gather around two-inch sections and hold your straightener in a vertical position. Compress lightly, twist the straightener forward and run it through the length of your hair. The next section behind this should be curled backwards so as to create natural-looking varied waves. Alternate between forward and backward twists until you reach the middle back of your head. Repeat the same on the other side of your face. 

A precision hairstyling machine like the Dyson Corrale™ can effectively help you to achieve this swiftly and with less heat damage to your hair. Thanks to its unique flexing plates technology, your hair is neatly gathered together in alignment and heat is evenly applied through every hair strand so you do not need to redo sections repeatedly. 

VOLUMISE

Create volume at your crown area by starting close to the roots. Lift your hair and lightly twist your straightener 45º according to the parting of your hair. 

The cord-free feature of Dyson Corrale™ gives you the freedom and ease in styling. No long tangling wires in your way!

VERTICAL BACKWARD WAVE

For the top sections of your hair, we want to frame it away from your face. So after you have volumised the roots, continue gliding through while subtly twisting your straightener backwards.

The tips of the Dyson Corrale™ is cool to the touch and safe for gripping with your hands for more steadiness in gliding. 

When you are done with curling your hair, tousle it a little and you will achieve an effortlessly chic hairstyle. This versatile look can be worn both day and night. Tuck one side of your hair behind your ear for a more sophisticated charm.
