How To Fake A Bob, Without Going For The Cut

Hear me out; I’m currently stuck in a hair dilemma. I’ve had long hair for as long as I can remember. It’s become such a part of my identity, that I actually felt like I’d made a dramatic change when I hacked it off to an ever-so-slightly shorter shoulder-length style after lockdown. But, for the first time ever, I’ve been considering cutting my hair into a shorter hairstyle. With all of the bob haircut inspiration going around at the moment, it’s becoming increasingly harder to not call my hairdresser and ask them to immediately cut my hair into a chin-grazing bob. 

With Hailey Bieber’s box bob and Zendaya’s voluminous Italian bob, I’m seeing bob hairstyles everywhere right now, and there are so many bob hairstyles to consider. My IG saved folder is overflowing with inpso pics. However, if I’m being fully honest, I’m not quite brave enough to go for the cut, at least not just yet. Thankfully, there is a way to fake a bob on long hair—and it takes zero effort and time, and no scissors are involved.
