How to Get a Faux-Bob, like Taylor Swift and Vanessa Hudgens

Feeling a little bored with your locks, but not ready to chop them off? We've got the perfect compromise: a chic, faux-bob that only looks like you've gone short. Eugene Smith, a New York-based Ted Gibson celebrity stylist whose clients include Naomi Campbell, Beyonce, Hilary Duff, Mandy Moore and Zoe Saldana, shows us how it's done.

This hairstyle works best on wavy hair, medium-to-long length. You’ll need approximately 45 minutes to recreate the look and the recommended products and tools are:
· Shine Serum
· Blow Dryer
· 2-inch Round Brush
· 1-inch Barrel Curling Iron
· Bobby Pins
· Hair Elastic
· Ted Gibson Build It
· Ted Gibson Beautiful Hold Hairspray

To create this look:
1. While hair is damp, apply Ted Gibson Build It volumizing spray to the root of the hair. Blow dry smooth using a round brush.
2. Once hair is completely dry, curl 1-inch sections of hair, starting from the back, using a 1 or 1 1/2-inch curling iron (depending on the length of your hair).
3. Work your way to the front of your hair. Patience is key; the more curls you create, the better the results.
4. Once the hair is curled, apply a small amount of shine serum to your hands and run your fingers through your hair to break up curls.
5. Tie a hair elastic at the very end of your hair. Roll the hair under the elastic and tuck toward the nape of the neck. Be sure to spread the hair evenly in a horizontal direction, thus creating a bob. Leave sides of hair out to further create the illusion of the bob.
6. Secure with as many bobby pins as needed and apply an even coat of Ted Gibson Beautiful Hold Hairspray
