Blunt Chin-Length Bob
A chin-length, blunt bob is ideal for heart, oval or faces with inverted triangles. It can broaden the jawline as well as the cheeks for faces with a chin that is slightly larger. This cut may not be suitable in the case of extremely curly or thick hair. Women with wavy hair need not be worried about this style! The range of hair styles that can be wavy or straight to wavy can be extremely enjoyable.
Blunt Bob with Straight Bangs. Bob featuring Straight Bangs
Q&A session with style creator, Nikita Dutson
Creative Stylist @ Lunatic Fringe Salon in St George, UT
What would you say about this style?
This look as an edgy bob cut with sharp bangs. The thing I love with this style is that it makes the person wearing it as stylish and sophisticated with a hint of attitude. It’s always noticeable in a crowd.
Anyone have any advice for those who are considering this?
The chin-length bob can be great for showcasing the jawline’s strength and cheekbones. It is important to know the shape of your face when you are considering the hairstyle. For square or round faces, you should want your bob to be longer than mid-neck, so that it doesn’t draw attention to the cheeks or jawline.
If you’ve got curly hair and you don’t want to wear it curly, there’ll be lots of work required to style this cut. A bob of any length can be put on with curly hair textures and make you look stunning. People with straight hair can cut it and it’s very low-maintenance.
When you decide if you’d like bangs, remember the maintenance of cutting them regularly and styling them regularly. I like the look of this cut when I use a thermal protector cream, a light oil to add shining, and moisturizing mousse to create a softer style.
Sci-Fi Bob
Q&A with the style creator, Megan Lacy Sullivan
Hair / Make-up / Lash Artist @ Megan Lacy Does Hair in Mentor, OH
What do you think of this style? What is your most favorite part about it?
This is my personal version on the “Sci-Fi Bob”. It’s a blunt and slightly angled razored style with internal layering that reduces the bulk. The hair that is on top must extend enough in length so as to highlight the sharp ends and to style effortlessly.
I like how this cut can be a bit different for each person. The use of a razor allows me the ability to shape and cut the cut according to the specific hair structure and bone structure. It’s an easy wash and wear, low-maintenance hairstyle dream. To maintain the same look form-up appointments are needed more frequently.
What are the best products to preserve and recreate this style?
I employed the IGK Car Service to protect and provide control during blow-dry. If your hair is nearly dry you can utilize a paddle brush or dryer to wrap the hair on one side, and then the other. This will ensure that your hair will be in the proper shape. Make use of a curling iron that is 1 inch to curl only the top part of your hair in order to keep the length of your hair. While curling, remove the remaining 1 inch of hair so that it blends with the lower layer.
Create the look by using INK’s Intern Hairspray for a touchable hold. Then, work in an Expensive dropper to break up curls and give it a lustrous shine.
What kind of client would you recommend this style for?
This style is perfect for those who don’t want spending a lot of time styling and is seeking something fashionable and simple to create at home. The client who is featured here has hair that is finer and tends to lie flat. By cutting her hair, it helps to create a balance and creates the illusion of more hair.
Sophisticated Yet Sexy
This is a chin length bob with slight angles. It’s elegant and sexy. Make use of Oribe items to get this style. After blow-drying hair in a straight and perfect straight style and straight, use a flat iron to give it a slight bend, with a focus on the hair pieces that frame the face. After that, apply oribe’s Dry Texturizing Spray all over to add volume and texture. This is a fantastic style for those with thin or fine hair as it creates the illusion of fullness.
Texturized Blunt Bob
This cut is elegant yet low-maintenance. Because there’s plenty of texture but not too much layers, it doesn’t need much styling. This style is ideal for anyone with wavy or curly hair who wishes to show off their hair’s texture. For a similar look at home, begin with a couple of sprays of Unite’s 7 seconds leave-in conditioner. It will help to re-moisturize your hair, as curly hairstyles generally do not have enough moisture. This style is best on those who have naturally curly , wavy or curly hair who would prefer to dry out and diffuse hair.
Alternative Bob
Q&A with style designer, Candace Cook
Hairstylist @ Illussions Hair Design in Bowie, MD
What would you say about this style and what’s your most favorite part about it?
I would define this style as a different take on the traditional Bob. The chin-length cut, by cutting the bob and grading the nape, it gives it a sleek and fashionable look. The thing I love about this style is the deep side with the long fringe that adds drama to the cut.
What products would you recommend to preserve and recreate this style?
For products, I would suggest using a light-colored serum to give hair shine so that hair is able to move without being heavy. For a similar appearance, hair must be shampooed, condition and wrapped in the styling foam. The hair is then placed in a dryer, before combing hair or flat ironing.
What kind of client would you recommend this style for?
The look is possible to recreate with all hair textures!
The Beach Girl Bob
This beach Bob style is bouncy but it’s still casual. It is easy to do within a few minutes and shows the best of your colors. I love L’Oreal Professional Infinium 3 Hairspray for an effective spray. I also finish all my curl clients using this spray for a soft hold. If you have fine straight to waves, this hairstyle is the perfect one for you. You’ll find it simple and fast to create relaxed beach waves. This is a great style for all faces because waves can soften your jawlines and can flatter any face! The more messy the more fun! There is no need to stress too much about the perfect curls or waves.
The Straight-Sassy Girl Bob
The red hue of this hairstyle works perfectly with this style of straightening out. It is perfect for any event, fancy or casual. It’s easy to make and is compatible with every hair kind! I believe the most important thing to this look is creating smoothness without smooth, limp hair. It’s always a good idea to apply an oil that thickens the hair when hair is wet like Thickening Spray from Bumble and Bumble. To finish your hair, I like Moroccan Oil.
Shapes with a round face look fantastic with this sleek design. Naturally straight hair can create more ease when it comes to creating this type of look, however, thick hair is definitely a good choice to create this look too. It just requires some effort! Make sure that it’s not getting too hot. Don’t use a temperature that is more than the temperature of 450 degrees. If the hair you’re using is smooth, it ought to be lower, perhaps about 250 degrees.
The Funky-Fun Girl Bob
This style looks amazing on hair with cheek-framing highlights or even all one color. It adds an extra pop to a boring hairstyle!
How-to Steps:
- Begin with dry, clean hair which has been cleaned using a mouse or root-boosting spray. Part it off to the side or in the middle, whichever way you prefer.
- Lock your hair in place with a hair clip, leaving a space to start straightening.
- Straighten each section using a flat iron.
The secret in this particular style is the volume! I love Unite Expanda Dust. Apply a little bit of it to your hair and rub your fingertips on your scalp and voila! You’ll have volume in just a few minutes! I would also suggest finishing with a hairspray that is strong and hold like Moroccan oil heavy hairspray.
If you have hair that is thick then this style is for you. Additionally, the more layers you have, the more attractive. A bonus is having a less layered hairs that run through the back. These may be known as “stacked” layers also known as graduated layers. A round face can be perfect for this design.
The Round-Brushed Bob
This look can be worn by women of all ages. It’s best complemented by an elongated part and loose bangs.
How-to Steps:
- After shampooing, clean your hair. Ideally, let the hair’s natural drying process until it’s around 50-75 percent dry.
- Lock hair in place, and leave the hair in a 1-inch section to begin round-brushing.
- With a round brush about with a diameter of 2 inches Smooth out every section using a blow-dryer around 1 inch from the area. Utilize a boar bristle for smoothing coarse, thick hair or use a metallic round brush to create body fine hair.
- Apply a smoothing serum.
Recommended Products:
I love Unite Boosta Spray for body on the root. Enjoy the hair and skin Treatment Oil is perfect to use between blowouts and for smoother hair.
Best Face Shapes and Hair Types:
Hairstyles for people with straight, fine hair will have a better time rounding the hair. Frizzy, curly, and kinky hair presents a greater problem. This hairstyle can smooth round faces.
Tips:
You’ll have an more enjoyable time brushing when you begin with hair that is slightly dry. I suggest letting your hair air dry prior to starting. Make sure you direct hair in the right direction as you go round brushing.
