Unlocking the Perfect Mob Wife Look: Secrets to Long-Lasting Big Hair

As the winter chill envelops Sydney, the Mob Wife trend emerges in full force, characterised not only by plush fur jackets and bold red lips but also by voluminous, big bouncy hair to complete the ensemble.

Mastering this iconic hairstyle is one thing but maintaining it to last until your next hair wash is a whole other challenge. My advice? Outsource the hard work! Seek out an exceptional hairdresser who can craft the perfect look for you, leaving you to focus solely on preserving it once it's done. However, for those who prefer a hands-on approach, here are some insider tips that both hairdressers and clients can employ to achieve that coveted long-lasting, voluminous mob wife blowout.

1. Prep Like a Pro: Before styling, it's crucial to prime your hair with the right products. Two personal favourites from L'oreal Techni Art are the Pli Thermo Modelling Spray and the Volume Lift. The Pli Thermo Modelling Spray acts as a memory spray, providing grip, hold and added volume while ensuring your hair retains its styled shape, even against the winter winds. Meanwhile, the Volume Lift, when applied to the roots, boosts volume and hold, making it a must-have for any voluminous hairstyle enthusiast.

2. Set for Success: After blow-drying or styling with heat tools, allow your hair to cool properly. This can be achieved by either leaving it wrapped around round brushes or sectioned as you work. Allowing the hair to cool around a brush or pinned in place significantly extends the longevity of your style. If time is of the essence, switch your hairdryer to the cool setting to speed up the process. The key is to transition your hair from hot to cold before releasing it—a technique that truly elevates your styling game.

3. Maintain the Look: To preserve your stunning hairstyle, incorporate the right products into your daily routine. Reach for a reliable hairspray like the Techni Art Air Fix and complement it with the Kérastase Fresh Affair dry shampoo. Using dry shampoo post-wash helps prevent dirt and oil buildup, making it easier to maintain your style on days two and three. Additionally, sleeping on a silk pillowcase not only benefits your skin but also keeps your hair intact, ensuring your blowout remains flawless all week long.

In the world of mob wife chic, achieving the perfect hairstyle is not just about the initial styling but also about the maintenance that follows. Whether you prefer to leave it to the experts or take matters into your own hands, these insider tips will help you achieve that enviable, long-lasting big hair look that defines the season's trend. So, go ahead, unleash your inner mob wife, and let your hair do the talking..
