Get a shorter look for your big day without committing to a cut. Prep damp hair with a nickel size amount of smoothing cream for coarse hair or a volumizing spray if you have fine hair. Blow dry with a round brush for smoothness, lifting at the roots to build volume. Make a short 1-1.5” deep part and brush the hair from the crown back and down the back of the head. Roll under sections of hair from the bottom up around your fingers (act like your fingers are a curling iron) until you reach the bottom of the head, and then pin the rolls just above the nape of the neck with bobby pins. Let chin-length layers fall out to make the bob look natural and finish with a light mist of shine spray. Keep a stash of bobby pins on-hand during the reception.
