00:00 There are different lengths for him. With or without a pony, straight or wavy.
00:05 But which bob is the right one for which type?
00:08 It's the face shape that matters, according to star hairdresser André Mertens.
00:11 A bob is not the same as a bob. You have to look at the face shape.
00:16 You have to try it out a bit, which length looks best.
00:20 Every face shape has its own length.
00:22 Ingi, Angelica and Kim have been wanting a change on their heads for a long time.
00:27 The bob suits her as a trend hairstyle.
00:30 Ingi is the first one. Before she gets her hair done, André Mertens decides her face shape.
00:35 He takes a photo of her face and puts an oval template on it.
00:40 I'll show you. You can see how your head shape fits in here.
00:48 Ingi has an oval face. She wants her hair cut like this.
00:53 I think a long chin would be great. I'm open to a straight pony.
00:58 We can leave the pony like this.
01:00 A bob with a long chin is not suitable for Ingi, as it would emphasize her narrow, long face.
01:06 A bob that goes under the ears, on the other hand, equals a long face.
01:10 You said it's a long chin. I would like it to be a bit longer.
01:15 We can put it between the mouth angle.
01:21 I think it's great. It fits the face shape.
01:24 I'm very excited. I've never had short hair before.
01:27 It's a big change for me.
01:31 But I'm confident.
01:35 André cuts the long chin straight away.
01:39 Ingi is getting a bit shy.
01:41 I don't know yet.
01:49 I'll wait until it's done.
01:51 André cuts the sides at an angle.
01:55 We want to keep the front a bit longer. It looks great.
01:59 I didn't expect that. But it grows back.
02:04 Women with an oval face are great.
02:07 Ingi had this one before. So everything can stay the way it is.
02:11 André has a tip for the hair.
02:13 If the face is oval, you can work with more volume.
02:16 You can even do a bit of a touch-up.
02:19 Or make the sides softer or wider.
02:22 With the hair dryer, you get more volume.
02:24 That way, the oval face looks less long.
02:26 Ingi's bob is done.
02:28 That's what it looked like a few minutes ago.
02:30 This is Ingi with a short bob.
02:32 Very short. It takes some getting used to.
02:36 But I think it's great. It's a complete change.
02:39 I'm very happy with the final result.
02:42 The next one to get her hair done is Angelika.
02:45 André decides the shape of her face first.
02:48 She has a round face.
02:50 We'll keep the hair long.
02:58 It makes sense to make the hair look good.
03:01 And to make it look a bit more fluffy.
03:04 If the hair is longer, the face looks slimmer.
03:08 Angelika gets a long bob.
03:11 It makes the face look slimmer.
03:14 But we want it to stay longer.
03:17 To make Angelika's face look slimmer,
03:20 it's important to make the hair ends soft.
03:23 I'm going to make it a bit more flat.
03:26 That way, it'll be easier.
03:28 You can see how great the face is being opened.
03:31 And the sides are being covered.
03:34 She has a much slimmer face now.
03:38 The hair is done.
03:40 Angelika has a first conclusion.
03:43 It looks like five years younger.
03:46 An expert's tip.
03:48 Use a big brush to blow dry the hair.
03:51 Otherwise, it'll get too much volume.
03:54 I'm looking forward to seeing the result.
03:57 I think it looks great.
04:00 Angelika's bob is done.
04:02 This is how it looked before and after the cut.
04:05 The face looks longer.
04:08 It's a great hairstyle.
04:14 Kim has a square face,
04:16 and a third face shape.
04:18 Kim has worn a bob before.
04:20 She wants it back.
04:22 I had a longer bob.
04:28 It started here and got longer.
04:31 I want a bob again.
04:33 My girlfriend said I look more mature.
04:37 Kim used to have a long bob.
04:39 But Andre Mertens wants it short.
04:41 A shorter bob fits her face better.
04:44 It's good to have a side cut.
04:48 A chin length is ideal.
04:50 Maybe a pony to break the face.
04:53 It's great to have a side cut.
04:56 It won't be too much volume.
04:59 Andre Mertens cuts the hair to the chin length.
05:03 Kim is skeptical.
05:05 It's short and I can't feel the hair.
05:09 It's weird.
05:11 The hairstyle isn't done yet.
05:14 The hair dryer gives the last touch.
05:16 Andre has a good tip.
05:18 It's good to have a feathery hair.
05:22 So you can hold the hair with the hair dryer.
05:25 My face is soft.
05:28 I like the hair.
05:30 It's frizzy.
05:32 It makes it look more manly.
05:34 Kim is happy with her bob.
05:37 Her face looks softer.
05:41 Kim and Kim are happy they got married.
05:45 They have their bob now.
05:48 They don't want their long mane back.
05:51 The bob can make every face more beautiful.
05:55 (upbeat music)
