HOT BOBS

There’s perhaps no other cut that’s as classically chic as the bob. Not to mention, there’s a version of the silhouette to suit everyone. Discover your ultimate bob personality here…

POLISHED PERFECTION

POLISHED PERFECTION

For a simple wear-to-work look, try a sleek bob with angled bangs. Chin-length strands flatter a variety of face shapes and show off the shoulders and collarbone.

Get the look: Prep strands by using a shine-promoting shampoo and conditioner, followed by a silkening spray. Blow-dry relaxed hair smooth then use a ceramic iron to straighten further, working with hair section by section. Bump the hair under slightly with each pass. Finish with a shine spray.

BOLD ANGLES

BOLD ANGLES

Loving your chic bob but looking for a new style idea to get that wow factor? On your next trip to the salon, ask the stylist to alter your coif by adding a pop of color.

Get the look: Use a color shampoo each time you wash to prevent fading and Wrap hair dry or sit under the dryer at the salon. Avoid blow-drying. Using a ceramic flat iron, make an upward rounding motion to curl layers under and get that amazing asymmetrical look. Hairspray secures the style.

ASYMMETRICAL ELEGANCE

ASYMMETRICAL ELEGANCE

Ready for a whole new you? Head to the salon for a sharp, angled snip that’s modern and sleek. A sideswept bang emphasizes the eyes and adds a touch of soft sexiness.

Get the look: Shampoo and condition, then blow dry relaxed hair completely. Have your stylist razor cut strands into wisps so pieces fall gently away from the face. Hair should be snipped shortest in the back and angle down as you make your way to the front. Smooth with a flat iron to finish.
