It was born in the 20’s and Grace Kelly made it popular in the 50’s.

How to make the hairstyle

According to him, “the most important thing in any kind of hairstyle, is to work appropriately the base to ensure the durability of the hairstyle. In the faux Bob, with retro influence, we have to work first with the correct styling iron to get a spectacular wavy hair.” He explains that “to get a perfect result it is very important to use a styling iron that allows to set the temperature to protect the hair and get a professional look. In our hairdressing salon we use the Termix 230º Black styling iron,one of the most complete and advanced styling iron that offers the possibility, furthermore, to work all kinds of treatments such as keratine. In addition we can personalize the hairstyle service to each customer.”

A partir de ahí, la técnica es muy sencilla. “Lo importante es elegir la altura correcta para definir el recogido y conseguir no tensarlo mucho para mantener el volumen. Hay quienes también cepillan previamente el cabello para abrir más la onda. Para ello se puede utilizar un cepillo con fibras naturales de jabalí, como el de Termix, que permite conseguir más volumen, muy de moda también este año con las melenas o midi con influencia de los años 70”, concluye Louis Philippe.
