The faux bob is a great style when your client wants to rock shorter locks without the long-term commitment of chopping it all off. Master this look with the help of Farouk Systems, Inc. Global Artist Anna Cantu. We broadcasted her LIVE on Facebook creating this textured illusion bob during Miss USA 2017 in Las Vegas. Watch the video below, and check out her how-to on 2016 Miss Teen USA Karlie Hay!

3. Close-up of the volume that can be achieved with the CHI Onyx 1-inch Ceramic Crimping Iron.

4. Release the top section. Use the CHI G2 Flat Iron to create beachy waves, alternating the direction of the waves for texture.


6. Break up the waves with your fingers to add a looser, more beachy texture. Using the braid you created earlier, pin any long hairs up and into the braid. If desired, you can stop here—but Anna took it up a notch!

7. For more interest, take a small section towards the front hairline (but leave the actual hairline out for softness), comb through and create a loose, three-strand braid. Pull the braid toward the back of the head, then secure with a bobby pin. Finish with CHI Spray Wax.
