Reasons to try a bob hair style
- Uber trendy and really adaptable to suit most face shapes .
- Take inspiration from Victoria Beckham whose has sported a short blonde bob and is now rocking a more classic chin length in warm brown shaped in to the neck at the back
- This style was first seen on actress Louise Brooks in its most severe form - almost like a little brown helmet
- Generally the cut is longer at the front , tapering into the nape of the neck - its great look for those of us who want to wear their hair short but still need a little hair to frame the face.
- There is a current trend for a more retro inverted bob look achieved with head hugging rounded layers with shorter layers underneath. This shorter in the back style will show off a your neck and make it look longer. Some of the more modern styles are razor cut into dramatic angles, these can be highlighted with great use of colour
- The one thing with a bob is certain amount of care is needed to maintain the look whether textured or sleek. A good hair dryer and a little time will normally produce a really good finish.
- The bob style is a great hairstyle for a round face - some layering around the jaw line and clever use of colour will sleeken the look and lengthen the neck
- Like wise a bob works a a hair style for thin hair and as a hair style for fine hair. Clever layering and use of colour will give the hair texture and weight. Also using styling products such as a volume mousse try Aveda and L'Oreal, and texturing waxes again Aveda and TIGII will help hair to look thick and healthy. If you are looking for a hair style for thin hair or a hair style for fine hair - I would avoid long and all one length, it will look lank and lifeless
- Thicker hair can be a given a smoother finish with a silicone sealant - try Aveda or TIGI
- Change your hair - just look at Victoria Beckham, Kylie Minogue - both are not afraid of working a new look - and remember if you are not sure after a hair cut don't worry it will grow - likewise you can always change the colour.
- The bob hairstyle is a great cut to go for if you want to for go blow drying and embrace your hairs natural texture - try applying a texturing cream to damp hair and leave to dry - this will give you a very contemporary look.
- These sometimes edgy takes on he classic bob hairstyle can be seen on the red carpet - Charlize Theron and Eva Longoria, runway - YSL A/W and our city streets.
