TikTok has done it again with a genius hairstyle trick that's perfect for anyone hesitant to chop their long hair into a sleek bob. Balancing the trend of a sharp bob with your wild, long locks can be tricky—but as soon as you spot one, the urge to book a hairdresser hits hard. Celebrity stylist Chris Appleton, renowned for crafting the iconic looks of J-Lo, Dua Lipa, and Kim Kardashian, gets it. To conquer that fear of going short, he shared a game-changing video on TikTok: a fake bob that requires zero cuts. Sound too good? Here's how it works.
To nail this hairstyle, grab some hair extensions and layer them around your head. Follow these steps: Create a horseshoe or U-shaped parting at the top of your head. Gather those strands into a mini bun, then braid the remaining hair and combine them into one braid to hide it (check the video for visuals). Secure the extensions around your head, then release the bun strands for the perfect illusion. Voilà—instant bob!
