Guide: Styling your Bob
The chunky bob is one of the easiest hair cuts to maintain. It’s probably the reason that many influencers and celebs are jumping on the choppy bob wagon! It gives off cool girl energy with close to no effort.
And the good news? It’s not going anywhere fast.
We adore the chunky bob for everything it brings to the table. We especially love the way our clients can change their whole personality with one swish of their parting.
Read on for our guide to recreating our favourite bob looks at home — whether you like yours sleek and straight, or prefer to embrace the textured, lived-in look.
For Textured Waves
We love Eleven products for many reasons, but their Give Me Texture Range comes into it’s own for creating choppy dimensional bobs.
As always, we recommend starting your routine with the Miracle Hair leave-in, which will give you the healthiest start to styling with its deep conditioning and heat protective properties. It’ll also keep any frizz at bay!
For the Slick & Sleek
We’re big fans of a sleek and chic bob at Cheynes. Regular trims are a must to keep this style looking sharp and free of dryness and split ends — for a straight bob, the ultimate goal is hydrated and shiny!
We love a hair mask pre-styling. It gives hair a big moisture boost before hitting it with a blow dry to give it a soft root lift with sharp and sleek ends.
Get Playful with your Parting
Side part = romantic/soft; middle part = modern/edge. Changing up your part can totally change the vibe of your chunky bob.
We adore how playful Mia Stevenson is with her bob. Always experimenting with styling, she proves just how versatile a bob can be. Endless fun to be had!
Bang It Up
Soften the look by chopping in some bangs. We’re obsessed with this cut and colour by Sadie at our Bruntsfield Salon.
Accessorise her!
We love chunky clips, hairbands and scrunchies to add a bit of juxtaposition to the shortness of the cut. Lelet NY do this V well.
