Here's Rita Ora at London Fashion Week on February 18, 2013. Rita's blonde hair has been styled to create the illusion of an asymmetrical bob cut. This look is reminiscent of old Hollywood glamour, while the faux asymmetrical bob renders the style edgy and modern.
 
To achieve this look yourself, apply mousse to wet hair before blow-drying it until it is 80% dry. Separate the hair into six sections, blow-drying each section straight with a medium barrel brush. The hair will feel somewhat stiff because of the mousse. Blow-dry the front sections away from the face.
 
Tease the hair at the top of the head to create exaggerated volume. Gently comb over the teased sections to disguise them, aiming for a smooth appearance without ruining the volume.
 
Comb all the hair back from the face and slightly to the side. Curl one side of the long bob inwards (if your hair is longer, you'll need to "roll" it up) and discreetly secure it with bobby pins. Creating a faux-bob is an art. Complete the look with some strong-hold shine hairspray.
 
Rita's hair is naturally dark brown, but thanks to a talented and dedicated personal hair-stylist, she rocks her blonde locks effortlessly. Natural brunettes shouldn't attempt this color unless they're prepared to invest in monthly maintenance by a professional stylist.
