BUNS + BOBS: INFLUENCED BY SOFIA

Sofia Richie Grainge is THAT girl. Whether she's showing off her freshly cut French bob or offering a step-by-step tutorial on how to do her sleek bun, she's the epitome of quiet luxury - and one of the most influential celebrities when it comes to beauty right now. Here are some signature Sofia styling moves, and the products to help you achieve the look.

The new French bob
"I did one too many keratin treatments on my hair, and over the past six months, I've just been cutting at it and cutting at it hoping I could get this dead away," said Sofia before getting the chop from London hairstylist George Curran while on holiday at in the French Riviera. "I know what I have to do to make this hair healthy again, and it's to start over, so we're cutting a bob."

The sleek bun
The slicked back bun has been around for eons, but Sofia has made it a signature with her "strong centre part" - including a viral 'how-to' TikTok for her "sleek lazy girl bun".

Tousled blonde waves
When her hair isn't in a tight bun, Sofia often embraces a whisper of a wave. Her rich girl 'bronde' is influential too, described elsewhere as 'biscoff' and 'teddy' - a lived-in honey blonde with darker roots.
"I do my roots about every four to five months and I connect my highlights to the top of my head," she says of her colour routine. "But I go into the hair salon once a month and I tone my overall hair."

Off-duty but still perfect
Casual hair - but still with the centre-part (use a tail comb to create). She also likes to add golden pieces around the framing of her face, and has said she uses K18's Damage Shield shampoo and conditioner.
