A faux bob might sound like a tricky style to master but it’s actually the perfect option if you’re looking for a style overhaul, without actually losing length.

We’d never ask Elle Ferguson to chop her beautiful hair (what else would we fill our Pinterest hair boards with?), which is why the faux bob works so well for people with super-long hair looking for a quick refresh. All you need is an awesome jacket, like the Hansel & Gretel blazer (coming soon) Elle is wearing, a few Sephora-stocked prods and these words of styling wisdom from hair queen, Jen Atkin, to get the look.

The Products You Need to Master (and Maintain) the Faux Bob:

OUAI Dry Shampoo Foam: to use on the roots and ends for added grit.
OUAI Texturizing Hair Spray: to use from mid-lengths to ends.

It’s the perfect look to recreate on day two or three of your blowdry. Your hair will already have style all you need to do is use your blazer as the ultimate accessory. Tuck your hair in, and depending on the length, allow the shorter pieces to fall out. If you’re feeling extra lazy, you can just style the front with some texturising product and tuck the rest into your blazer.
Don’t over-think it too much! You can even just focus on the top half of your hair and make sure it looks half as good in case you’re pressed for time to get out the door.
Keep the OUAI Texturizing Spray with you to freshen up the look throughout the day. Just untuck your hair, flip your hair upside down and spray throughout for extra body. You can also lift your hair in sections and spray throughout and re-tuck! The spray comes in travel size so it’s perfect to fit in your bag.
