Consider these pro tips first:

  • Ladies with thick, curly hair, regardless of the hairstyle they want (straight or curly), should choose high-quality, professional products that are suitable for their hair type.
  • If you have fine, thin hair, it is advisable to eat a healthy diet, drink plenty of water and take vitamins. To add volume to fine hair, consider using a quality shampoo, conditioner, and styling product specifically designed for this purpose.
  • It is also very important to use a quality hair dryer and straightener. However, you shouldn't use your straightener so often - definitely not every day.
  • Before using a curling iron or blow dryer, don't forget to use a heat protectant.
  • If your hair is naturally curly, you can spray on a leave-in conditioner first thing in the morning.
  • Another way to simplify styling is to divide the hair into pieces.
  • A keratin treatment can make hair care easier and reduce the time spent styling - good news for women with hectic schedules.

Five important bob hairstyle tricks

1. Style your hair

  • Use a heat protectant and conditioner to keep hair healthy.
  • Apply mousse sparingly, avoiding the neck area and other areas that don't need more volume.
  • Comb the product so that it distributes evenly.

2. Control volume by blow-drying

  • To create more volume in the crown area, tilt your head forward and lift the roots.
  • Lift the roots while using the blow dryer to maintain the desired shape of the hairstyle.
  • Avoid damaging your hair and tame frizz by using the blow dryer's hot-cold settings.

3. Position of the neck

  • To avoid making your neck appear longer than it is, keep the neck area flat.
  • For a well-groomed, defined look, avoid applying products to the neck area.
  • To prevent hair from curling at the nape of your neck, brush it in circular motions.

4. Style the sides

  • Make sure the ends of the bob are defined and organized by using a flat iron or round brush.
  • Avoid excessive use of volumizing products on the sides to maintain a slim silhouette.

5. Pin up at temples for stability

  • Using a round brush and blow-drying the hair upwards and then setting it with the cold setting of the blowdryer will add volume to the temples.
  • This technique balances the bob and makes the hair look fuller without making it look voluminous.
