These are the ultimate styling tips every bob wearer should know. With them, you can turn an everyday cut into something special. Here are the best looks for you.
How Do I Style a Bob?#
Sleek Look#
For a sleek look, you’ll need a round brush and a hair dryer. Your hair should be towel-dry. Blow-dry each section over the round brush, working from roots to tips. Once every strand is done, set with a little hairspray — and your sleek look is complete.
Beach Waves#
Beautiful beach waves look wonderful on a bob. You’ll need a curling wand and heat protectant spray. Start by clipping the top section away, then work through your hair strand by strand with the wand. Take one section, place the wand behind it (away from your face), and wrap the hair around it. That’s how you get gorgeous beach waves. Once all sections are done, let your hair cool completely, then gently run your fingers through it. Finish with dry shampoo — a quick spritz mattifies the hair and makes those beach waves look perfect.
Twisted Style#
For a twisted look, you don’t need any braiding skills — and it looks beautiful. Take two sections on each side and twist them slightly toward the back. Add a little hair from underneath to the lower strand and secure with a hair clip. This style looks similar to a braid but is much easier. It looks intricate, yet it’s surprisingly simple to recreate.
Half Bun#
With a bob, a full bun can be tricky because the hair is shorter. Instead, try a half bun by pinning up just the top section. Take a portion of hair from the crown, twist it lightly into a bun, and secure with thin hairpins. You can also use a bun donut if you want a perfectly round shape. Leave the rest of your hair down — or straighten it for a polished finish. Quick, easy, and chic.
Wet Look#
A wet look works beautifully on a bob. Hair slicked back really lets a bold makeup look take centre stage. Rub a little hair gel between your palms and comb the top section back.
Low Bun#
This is a bun that sits low at the nape of the neck. It looks elegant and stylish — and takes almost no time. First, comb your hair back tightly and tie it into a ponytail. Then twist the ponytail into a knot at the base — and you’re done.
