The bob haircut has been one of the most popular for decades. Today it is easier to name a Hollywood star or a famous singer who has never worn a square than to list everyone who wore such a hairstyle. And this is not surprising, because the four of a kind suits almost everyone.
Preparing hair for bob styling at home
The most important thing to do before styling is to wash your hair. You can use special products that give them shine and ease of styling or shampoo to add volume.
Since almost all bob styling options require the use of a hair dryer, irons or curling irons, you will need a good product with thermal protection properties. To fix the styling and make the hair more pliable, you will need to apply foam or mousse to them.
Don't rush to dry your hair right away. Some styles require them to be damp. Therefore, carefully consider your plan of action.
Perfect smoothness
This is perhaps the easiest bob styling option, which is suitable not only for an evening out, but also for a casual look. Perfectly smooth shiny hair, styled hair to hair, will undoubtedly decorate any solemn look.
To make this styling, you will need:
- Medium hold mousse with thermal protection.
- Tip wax.
- Straightening iron.
To style your hair, wash it and dry it slightly with a towel. Then comb and blow dry. On clean, dry hair, apply the mousse with your fingers or a comb, distributing it along the entire length. Also, now is the time to think about what kind of parting you want to do:
- In the middle - suitable for bob with and without bangs, requires perfectly smooth even strands.
- Side - can be either slightly shifted from the face to the side, or done completely on the side, closer to the ear. In this case, the hair combed to the side can be pinned up with a hairpin or fixed with varnish.
If you want a structured evening styling on a square, when all the strands lie flat and perfectly smooth, then choose a parting. It suits the owners of the correct facial features, making the image very elegant and sophisticated.
With a straight parting, it is important to give the hair moderate volume at the roots. Too much volume will make the image doll-like and shift the focus from perfect smoothness, and the lack of volume will make shiny elongated hair the way it looks on the second day after washing, that is, not fresh. Side parting is less demanding, but not very suitable for smooth styling.
So, after parting, pull out a strand of hairbehind the strand with an iron. Do not hold the iron for a long time, slide it through the hair so as not to dry it out. Slightly twist the strands at the ends inward or leave them straight if the look requires it. Lastly, put some wax on your fingers and run them over the ends to define them.
Square with curls
Curls or curls can make an image playful or romantic. It depends on how the curls will be - tight or slightly twisted. To create them, you can use a curling iron or an iron. You will also need foam or mousse for volume and hairspray to fix the styling.
First, apply a little styling product to your hair, and then divide it into parts and start winding, separating small strands. Move from the back of the head forward, twisting the hair in the right direction. You can twist all the strands in one direction, for example, to the face or away from the face, or you can make curls in different directions for a more romantic evening styling on the square.
You can also create light sloppy waves. To do this, use a styling foam and a hairdryer with a diffuser. Dry wet hair with a hairdryer with a nozzle, tilting your head forward. Straighten the strands with your hands, twisting them with your fingers, and do not comb. At the end of the styling, you can lightly sprinkle with varnish.
Hollywood Wave
This is a special way of curling and styling hair, in which they look like a wave laid on one side. This bob hairstyle will allow you to create a bohemian retro look that perfectly complements the chicevening dress in the style of old Hollywood.
Hair Required:
- Hair Foam.
- Fixing varnish.
- Clamps.
- Large-diameter cone curling iron.
To start, comb your hair into a straight, deep parting on the side and apply a modeling foam on them. Separate one strand and wind it on the curling iron to the face with a spiral. Carefully remove the curling iron and fix the strand with clips in those places where the bends have formed. Proceed to the next strand. All of them must be wound in one direction and fixed with clamps in order to maintain a single wave. When hair is completely cool, spray with hairspray, remove clips and comb through with a wide-toothed comb.
Sideways
We have already noted that the styling option is perfect for a caret when the hair is laid on its side. At the same time, on the other hand, they are maximally removed back and open the ear. Beautiful massive earrings or a set of one long bright earring (it will be clearly visible) and a small second earring covered with hair will suit this styling.
For this bob style, part on one side and comb all the hair to the opposite side. On the open side, braid your hair in a pigtail from the temple. Fasten the tip of the braid at the base of the neck with an invisibility, hiding it in the hair. If you have bangs, comb them to the other side, leveling them with the main mass of hair.
Loose hair on the other side can be ironed or twisted on a curling iron. Also available on the open sidefasten a beautiful hairpin.
Bunch
If your bob is not too short, then you can make a beautiful bun out of it, which is perfect for an evening look. The bun can be plain or tousled, can be combined with braids or plaits, or completed with a hair ornament.
For this hairstyle you will need:
- A styling product that leaves hair smooth and shiny.
- Hair band.
- Studs and invisible.
- Beam roller.
Pre-strands can be wound on a curling iron to get styling on a square with volume. You can also lightly comb the back of your head to get extra volume. Next, collect the hair in a ponytail and twist it around the elastic band, pin it with hairpins. If the hair volume is not enough, you can put a special bagel or roller on the elastic band and twist the tail around it. Short broken strands can be pinned up with invisible ones. The bundle can be made both on the crown and on the back of the head or on the side.
Babette
This is the name of the retro hairstyle, very popular today. This is a high bouffant over the forehead, which can be done using a special roller or lining. Such styling is also suitable.
To do this, separate the upper part of the hair above the ears with a horizontal parting. Comb this hair from bottom to top with a wide-toothed comb. Place a roller or chignon under this hair, lay your combed hair on top. Poke everything with hairpins and sprinkle with varnish. The rest of the hair can be left loose, for thisiron them out.
You can also take two strands on the sides of the face and pin them back under the babette, covering the place where it attaches to the hair.
Kare back
This is a variant of bob styling without bangs. In it, the bulk of the hair is removed from the face and combed back. Apply a little volumizing foam to damp hair. It is especially important to distribute the foam on their root part. Next, take a large diameter round brush and dry your hair with a hair dryer, moving it back and up with a brush. Fix everything well with varnish.
If the hair falls on the face, fix it on the sides with invisibility. It is very important to create volume at the crown in this hairstyle, so when styling, lift the strands with a comb.
About the same way, you can create a more extravagant bob hairstyle at home, in which the top of the head rises.
To do this, the hair must be dried, lifting and creating volume, and the remaining strands at the back should be pinned up and well fixed with varnish.
