01
Polished and Pretty

A slightly asymmetrical cut with brow-skimming bangs makes this style the model of sophistication. To create depth and definition, flip the ends slightly and apply a dime-size amount of Paul Mitchell Gloss Drops to amp up the shine.

Tease With Ease

Cutting layers beneath the crown of this bobbed style or slightly back-combing hair to create a lift. Consider a voluminizing spray like Biolage Bodifying Spray Gel if your hair is straight.

Easy Pieces

Leave a satiny finish and add shine to any layered look with John Frieda Frizz-Ease Hair Serum.

A Banging Bob

Use minimal product to keep your do bouncing and always be sure your style is free of split ends. Apply a dime-size amount of Redken Satinwear 02 Ultimate Blow-Dry Lotion for control.

Short Stuff

Whether you spike it, slick it, or just let it be, this look stands on its own. All you’ll need to work this shortie is your fingers and a pomade like TIGI Bed Head The Manipulator to mold hair into place.

Tressed to Impress

A low-maintenance cut like this layered bob keeps it shape as it grows out. After shampooing and blow-drying, straighten the hair with a flat iron.

Lean and Clean

Give movement and definition to your bob with light layers and highlights. To keep hair sleek and chic, apply Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Weightless Anti-Frizz Serum before you blow-dry.

High Speed Hair

To maintain this long layered bob, wrap hair at night, then flip the ends with a flat iron in the morning. To protect hair from heat, apply Tresemme Instant Heat Tamer Styling Spray.

Poised & Polished

Brighten your look with warm honey or auburn highlights, but stay away from high-maintenance colors like bright-golden blonds.

Straight Up

By adding layers you don’t have to worry about this bob falling, even during summer’s highest humidity. Before flat ironing, apply Soft & Beautiful Extra Lite Creme Moisturizer to keep frizz at bay all day.
