Happy Saturday, lovelies! Whether you’re kicking it around the house today in your slippers or getting ready for a night on the town, we hope you’re enjoying the beautiful weekend. Today, we’re bringing forth a little wedding hairstyle inspiration with one of our favorite styles: a faux bob. If you have long locks and you want a new hairstyle for your wedding (without cutting it) today we’re showing you how to fake short hair with a faux bob. This glamorous, 1950’s inspired hairstyle will look great and it’s easy to do. To fake it, all you need to start is long hair (curled naturally or with a curling iron), a million bobby pins (give or take) and hairspray. This is a great style to debut for wedding events, too, like your bridal shower and rehearsal dinner to try as a test run. We were inspired by the faux bob from a Real Bride who wore her hair long for the ceremony and pinned it into a faux bob for the reception. (It’s the new “second dress”.) Read on to find out more and learn how to fake short hair with a faux bob!

This bride (captured by Kelly Wood Photo, spotted via Destination I Do Magazine) wore her hair down and curly with layers for the ceremony then pinned back into a short faux bob for the reception. Take a look:

Can you believe that’s the same hair length? Me either. It looks fantastic!

How to Fake Short Hair

I found this amazing tutorial on You Tube (I feel videos are easier to follow than photographs) by Luxy Hair and I think she did such a beautiful job! In reading about the faux bob, I discovered this style works best if you have long hair with layers, just to forewarn you. :) Enjoy the video below!

Now, I’m off to get some of those special Sally bobby pins. I’m pretty sure it’s these which my stylist swears by and they’re sold at Sally. It’s true: the cheap ones never seem to do the trick! Then, I’m going to try this style… wish me luck! Have a beautiful rest of the evening and be sure to check back tomorrow for an amazing event decor idea we’ve never seen before…

Happy Planning!
