Bob Hairstyles and Haircuts for Beauty

The inverted bob or A-line bobbed hairdo has been around for decades.

Actress Louise Brooks had a "small dark helmet," and writer Dorothy Parker had to keep her hair simple so that she could redefine feminism.

Famous coiffeur Vidal Sassoon did a memorable version for 60's designer Mary Quant and spurred a rounded look to complement the playful, almost cartoonish mood of Mod.

This is a great medium bob on Elisha Cuthbert. Many women will find this blunt bob very flattering as the bangs add a touch to the bob and help soften other facial features like wider foreheads.

The blunt sides help thin the facial region and draw more attention to the overall look.

This blunt, choppy bob is quite different from the normal traditional bobs but creates the same appeal with an added touch.

A good option for people experienced with bobs who want to try a different variation.

So the average barber would arm themselves with smelling salt for often the loss of curls and long cascading hair came tears and fainting.

Men disliked, even to the point of rage, that women were invading their shops for up to this point barbershops were their domain yet despite the fainting and tears there were reported lines out shops doors for the want of a clean simple bob.

In fact in New York City there was a reported 2,000 heads per day being clipped into bobs.

Curly Bob Hairstyles Styling Steps

The most conservative of the Bob, the smooth one-length cut is always in style. This sophisticated cut can be trimmed to a length that is attractive to almost any face shape.

The first style pictured is gently fringed at the bottom so that it is very soft around the perimeter.

It is worn without bangs so that the front add a lot of drama to the style. Style this cut by applying a light volumizing gel or mousse to damp hair and then blowing it dry with a large round brush.

If your hair needs more support to bend, use a large diameter curling iron, (about one and one-half inches) to curve the ends under.

1. Apply a leave in conditioner to damp towel dried hair and disperse the product evenly with a wide toothcomb

2. With your fingers, work a dollop of mousse from beginning to end your hair, being careful to not pertain too much product to the roots as it can weigh your locks down


3. Blow your tresses dry while scrunching with your fingers


4. Apply a small quantity of shine serum for glossy curls


5. Mist lightly with a hairspray for hold.

One of the easiest ways is changing the layout of the hair. Changing from straight to curly to wavy using Caruso brand hair setters, CHI hair straighteners, or hair wavers can devise wholly varying, hot looks.

Changing the agreement of bangs can invent news style as well. Medium hairstyles with slightly swept bangs still appear quite fashionable.

Small curls at the tips of bangs or side sweep can deliver very elegant hairstyles for grandiose occasions as well.

A prime example of these looks can be found in the many hairstyles of Nicole Ritchie which use a number of distinguishing fringe molding techniques for extra panache.
