You've got gorgeous long lush hair but wearing it all down isn't in the cards. Whipping it up into a full on updo isn't really your thing either, so where do you go from there? A haircut is out of the question as your not looking for that kind of permanent decision, so now what? Ladies I present to you one of my ultimate favorite answers to the age old question, what do I do with my hair... the Faux Bob!

Simply put a faux bob hairstyle is a spot of gorgeous hair trickery employed by the best of them to give the illusion of a shorter do, without reaching for the scissors. No matter the thickness & length to your hair, there is always an answer and a way. A Faux bob is a super fun option for wedding hair, both for brides and bridesmaids, yes wedding guests too! With Eden's tutorial in hand, just about anyone can whip their locks into a shorter do! A lovely bonus to a style like this is brides that are craving a 2 look wedding can easily slip from ceremony do to to reception style with the removal of some pins! There is a playfulness to a faux bob hairstyle, allowing every woman to be their own chameleon!

Step 1. Start with textured locks of any length. Waves and curls are more forgiving than straight hair when working with illusions of this nature. {Refer to Eden's Prep for Straight Hair here}

To manage the length and create the volume that makes the body of this faux bob believable, part off just the back section of hair from ear to ear, pinning the top and sides of hair out of the way. Separate the back into 4 rough sections and tie knots into the hair to take up the length.

Step 9a. Gather the mid shaft and ends of the front sections loosely and wind the mid shaft into a loop. Next, with the ends hanging loose, pin.
