We’re going to come clean and admit it – we’re just a little commitment-shy here at MDC. To give us some credit, it’s not that we haven’t tried…it’s just that it’s hard to decide on just one look when there are so many new lipsticks to admire, eyeshadows to ponder and sparkly manis to try. Case in point: the oh-so-chic bob. A standout on the red carpet this year, we’re crushing hard on the pretty, understated elegance of this year’s breakout hairstyle. But before taking getting too chop-happy with the locks we’ve oh-so-carefully grown out, we have to pause and consider: what about all the beautiful braids, bouncy ponies, and sleek chignons we’ll be missing out on once we go to bob route? Lucky for us, resident MDC beauty guru Elyse Reneau is here to show us how to achieve the bob of our dreams…without taking to the shears. Watch the video below to see how:
