Half the Length, Double the Bounce at Assort Melbourne
Sometimes, a “trim” just isn’t enough. One of our recent clients at Assort Melbourne came in with long, tired waves and lingering color on the ends. They were looking for a total reset!
It was time to say goodbye to the weight and hello to a look that’s healthy, bouncy, and undeniably fun.
The Transformation
We took the plunge and chopped off half the length! To keep the look modern and playful we went with a texturized bob paired with a soft fringe and face-framing layers. This isn’t just a haircut; it’s a lifestyle upgrade and that was exactly what our client was looking for.
Stylist Secret: Texture
The secret to this look is all in the internal layers. By removing the weight from the ends, we’ve created a shape that moves when you move.
-
The Fringe: Adds a youthful, chic edge.
-
Face-Framing: Highlights the cheekbones and jawline perfectly.
-
The Vibe: Low maintenance. This style is designed to look even better with a bit of natural “air-dry” texture or a quick tousle with a light styling cream.

How to Style at Home
This cut is designed to be “wash-and-wear,” but if you want that extra oomph, follow these quick steps:
-
Prep with Volume: Apply a lightweight volumizing mousse (or a sea salt spray) to damp hair. This gives the bob some lift!
-
Rough Dry: Flip your head upside down while blow-drying until it’s about 80% dry. This creates natural root volume without needing a round brush.
-
Define the Texture: Once dry, use a flat iron or a wide-barrel wand to create “flat waves”—just bend the hair back and forth in an “S” shape. Leave the ends straight for that modern, edgy look!
-
The Finish: Shake it out! Finish with a touch of dry texture spray or a tiny bit of hair oil on the ends to keep them looking healthy and polished.
