The ‘curtain’ of hair drapes down from the forehead to create a long, sleek oval face-frame that will break-up the circle in a round face and slim down cheeks. The centre parting is only suitable for faces that are naturally oval, on other face shapes an off-centre of deep side-parting will give you a flattering finish!

Blonde bob African American hairstyles
I love the way that straight hair is being cut into curved shapes in the latest bob hairstyles for spring/summer . I hated the stick-straight, flat head styles because they could be so hard and unflattering. Curls don’t suit everyone either, but asymmetric bobs with curved shaping make everyone look great!

This confident blonde colour harmonises perfectly with the model’s cool skin-tone. Love the DA detail at the nape!
