Bob for a Chubby Face
Short bob cuts need an expert with short hair to decide on the best length and cut to flatter rounder faces. If you want your face appearing fresh and slim would surely love this look! Look at how it begins in an upper part that is straightened towards the jawline to create an elongating effect. It is the ends are then swept back to add a touch of class.
Short Straight Bob
The short bob hairstyle is chic, classic and trendy and will never go out of fashion. Straight bobs suit a variety of facial shapes. The one thing you need to consider is the length that is best for the shape of your face. The aim is to create the illusion that you have an oval-shaped face. If you’re looking for hair texture, the best candidate is one with straight hair with a medium density as they don’t have to devote a lot of time trying to cut their hair. If you’re looking for the classic bob style, be aware the haircut can be made with a 0-degree angle to make the appearance. It is also possible to choose an A-line bob or a square hair instead.
Perfect Shaggy Bob for Thin Hair
Q&A with style designer, Mica Popovich
Senior Stylist @ Edo Salon in San Francisco, CA
What do you think of the look? I would like to imagine this cut as shaggy hairstyle. It’s cut using straight razors and has tons of weight taken away. It’s a natural, soft, and contemporary version of an old-fashioned cut. Are there any tips for anyone thinking about it? The style is great shaggy short cut bob for anyone seeking a fresh style. I believe bobs are great for all types of people with the loose, fun layers create a flirty casual style that can be worn on all face shapes. I applied the salt spray for texture, and an oily paste to highlight every little bit and pieces. It was also styled using only the hands of my fingers and blow-dryer. It’s easy and quick to create a style.
Blonde Undercut Bob
Q&A with the style creator, Catherine Nye
Hairstylist @ Scripps Hair and Skin Gallery in San Diego, CA
What would you say about the look? It’s an undercut bob that has highlights of foil. I love the peekaboo look of the cut at the edges. The shine of the highlights highlights the buzzed hair beneath. It’s not too edgy, but also chic and versatile.
Do you have any advice for someone who is thinking of this style? This is the perfect look for those who have “too too much hair.” The bob cut undercut reduces the bulkiness of hair that is thick. It’s perfect for summer heat as it helps keep hair away from the neck. Similar to any shorter bobs you will need some styling, especially for those with textured hair. For the shade foil highlights are excellent when you need a bold highlight of blonde that frames the face. The warmth from foils creates an even brighter blonde with lightereners that are gentler.
Naturally Curly Bob
Q&A with style designer Lauren Kieninger
Co-owner & Stylist @ Barbara & Barbara in Chicago, IL
What do you think of the look? It’s a densely layered shorter angled hairstyle. It’s shorter in its back and slightly larger in front. It also features numerous smaller layers to help break down the bulk that may form at the bottom of the cut. This prevents the triangular shape. The client has lots of hair. We cut it undercut to get rid of the bulk that will help keep the shape longer, and also because it’s enjoyable!
Are there any tips for those who are thinking of this style? I believe that this curly style is actually quite low-maintenance. Due to the layers and angles it will keep its shape for a couple of months. The angled short bob haircuts flatter all facial shapes It’s all about small adjustments to the cut that give the appearance of a custom-made style. Examples include the undercut or bangs. For keeping the cut every day, she applies DevaCurl Volumizing foam, which is followed by either cream or curl gel according to the time of year and what her hair requires. In warmer months she will use DevaCurl Ultra-Gel, and in the winter months, she goes with DevaCurl Supercream. It is usually left to air dry and occasionally follows it up with her diffuser running at a low setting for around 5 minutes to add some volume.
Short Feathered Bob Crop
Q&A session with the creator of style Ariel Edens
Hairstylist @ Ariel Edens Hair Studio in Pittsburgh, PA
What would you say about the look? The feathered bob is shorter stacked bob with an bent. What you might or may not be able to discern is that the front isn’t sporting bangs or layers of face-framing. The length is all of her facial area. The thing I love about this crop is how flexible it can be. It is able to be changed to suit your face shape, style or personal preferences. What advice would you give someone who is thinking about it? If you’ve got any texture , it will require a product that is at minimum 20 minutes of blow-drying and round-brushing to lay smooth. The short cut appears great curly. With the proper product, a lady with curly hair can let her hair dry out and look really cute.
Textured & Layered Graduated Bob
Q&A with the style creator, Kaitlin Butler
Educator @ Bellus Academy in Poway / Stylist @ theFactory in San Diego, CA
What do you think of this style? It’s a short , graduated bob with bangs and short layers. In the photo I pulled the layers upwards to lay over the bangs, giving it a messy style. The way that my photo model Savannah wears her hair is totally different from how I styled them. She will curl her hair and then has a side-part and at times, she just pulls it back towards her eyes. It is a good choice in any way she would like to dress it.
Do you have any advice for those who are considering this style? It is possible for anyone to wear this cut! The hair products you choose to use and how you style it all depends on the hair’s texture and the type. This cut is stunning for curly hair and even wavy types as well.
Stacked Swing Bob
Q&A with the style creator, Alisha McAlister
Hair Stylist / Colorist @ The Cuttaway Styling Salon in Joplin, MO
What would you say about this style and what’s your favorite part about it? It’s a stylish and stacked swing hairstyle. I love this look on her since it looks stunning when smoothed out, with soft curls, or natural curls. It’s a versatile cut that offers my client a sophisticated and sassy appearance.
What are the best products to keep and recreate the look? I like using the Kenra Blow Dry spray for preparing hair since it gives it shine, acts as a heat shield and smells fantastic (like the ocean) and is great to block humidity. I also utilize Monat Restore leave-in Conditioner, Monat Restyle Instant Taffy, Monat Restyle Instant Taffy and Monat Refinish Control hairspray. The Taffy is the product I use to smooth out flyaways and give her more body and texture.
What kind of client do you suggest this style for? I suggest this hairstyle for any person who has thick hair , and who doesn’t like to wash their hair often. This style allows them to wear it with natural curls, then smooth it, and then volumize the following day, and then create loose beachy curly curls (as in the photo) using the flat iron. I wouldn’t suggest this cut for those with thin or fine hair as they don’t have the volume needed to achieve this look. If you have thin hair or fine hair, I would suggest an oversized hairstyle (Lob) with layers of long lengths.
Short to Medium Bob
Q&A with style designer, Kayla Daninger
Designer @ Cole’s Salon in Apple Valley, MN
What would you say about this style and what’s the most appealing thing about it? This style as elegant, sophisticated and enjoyable. People like adding the look of texture because it enhances the look and they want to look as though they have lots of hair. I like the fact that this style can give a fuller appearance to any type of hair , while remaining full and with motion!
What products would you recommend to keep and recreate this style? For this style I like the use of Bumble as well as Bumble Thickening spray as well as All Style cream before blow drying to increase volume. If my hair’s dry, seal it using the Dry Texture spray from Oribe to give hair a smooth, tousled and lived-in look.
What kind of person do you suggest this style for? This look is ideal for people with fine hair (but lots of it) as well as those who have difficult finding volume. This can be an easy wash and wear style when you have curly hair since it gives the curls more bounce. Straight hair will require some effort! I believe that any facial shape and of any age can achieve this look. Faces with a round shape should have their front of their face lower than the cheeks, while heart-shaped and square-shaped faces should be able to have the front straight up the chin. The best people for this haircut are those who have very short time each morning to cut their hair. This is a fantastic look for professionals in the world who are looking for a style they will enjoy!
