Helpful Links for Girls With Bobs

how to style a bob, textured bob, tortoiseshell hair color, modern bob, balayage highlights, brunette highlights

I’m having lots of fun playing with my shorter ‘do. I hesitated chopping my hair for so long — even when I really wanted to — because I worried it would be too hard to style and manage. But it’s so easy!

Fortunately for my lazy hair skills, the modern bob is all about messy undone texture. My daily styling routine is basically the same as my lob days, but with less hair (which means less time!). My favorite styling product right now is Joico Hair Shake, a texturizing spray with a liquid-to-powder formula that boosts volume and creates cool piecey texture with soft, flexible hold. If I don’t have time to curl or flat-iron, I work a little Dirt Texturizing Paste into the ends so they aren’t frizzy.

If you’re considering a chop, or you’ve already joined the club, here’s a handful of helpful links full of styling inspiration and helpful tutorials:

  1. I currently have short(ish) hair and this helped a lot.
    I also recommend adding curls to short hair to add body and using salt spray.

  2. This is awesome! When I chopped off all my hair months ago I almost didn’t know what to do with myself. Haha!

  3. I love that you use a lot of bobby pins but it still doesn’t look messy. I need to learn that!

  4. I had my hair cut yesterday from a lob to more of a bob. Looking forward to trying out some different styling ideas!

  6. So cute! Can’t wait until after my wedding to do this to my hair too!
