Your FAQs About Timeless Bob Hairstyles Answered

Do you ever get tired of washing and drying your long hair? Want to try out a chic, trendy bob hairstyle but are afraid that it won't look good on you? Don't worry. It's not the end of the world for you or your hair. Worse that can happen is getting a cut that's too short. But you can avoid that after reading these FAQs covering bob hairstyles.

Q: Are bob length hairstyles hard to take care of?
A: No. In fact, stylish bob haircuts are one of the easiest styles to maintain. Most wash-and-go women will attest to this. You don't have to spend the whole morning blowing it out. Plus you can save on styling products because a little goes a long way. Which may account for all the bobs you see at work, the store and on TV.

Q: Once you get such a cut how often do you need to get it trimmed to keep it looking nice?
A: If you have smooth, shiny hair you don't need to trim as much. But if you have damaged split ends you might trim it say once a month. This will get rid of the pesky splits as they descend to your shoulders.

Q: Is a medium bob haircut okay for a round face?
A: Absolutely. Just so your stylist takes care to avoid cutting it above chin-level as doing so would make your face look even wider. The correct length for you would be just below the chin to create a slimming look. If you have a square face however, you might want to stay away from thick, blunt cuts. Instead opt for a layered bob which will soften your jaw line and hide those hard angles.

Q: How do I add volume to my cute, new, shorter bobbed style?
A: Good question. After washing your hair, pat it dry with a towel and toss your head forward as you reach for the blow dryer. Make sure that your hair is damp not dripping when you blow dry. You'll find that once your hair is dry, viola, it's full of volume!

5. Any tips for styling an inverted bob?
A: The most important thing to remember about styling an inverted bob is the blow out. This will add volume and fullness especially if your hair is stick straight. You can also use Velcro rollers if you want.

Q: How do I grow out such hairstyles?
A: Not intending to give a smart answer but you just let it grow. You can have the occasional trim but if your hair is healthy and doesn't have split ends you don't need to trim it that much. And no special shaping required either usually like you might expect with a pixie cut. Don't you just love it?

Q: Can I get layers cure into my more formal looking bob?
A: Sure. The one-length bob is kinda passé anyway right now. You'll find many of the modern bobs are layered. Some are somewhat choppy. Even better a layered cut works well for any face shape and hair type.

Q: Do bobs work with fine hair?
A: Sometimes. This style doesn't weigh your hair down and looks great if you have straight hair. Most celebrities have fine hair and they look absolutely gorgeous so now's your time to shine.

Q: Think a bob hair style looks good on guys?
A: Giving this overview a unisex theme I'd say yes. Just look at a picture of Johnny Depp and you'll know what I mean. The bob cut was also made popular by male models so any guys who think they're budding supermodels might give this look a shot.

Okay so there you have it. Helpful answers to some of the frequently asked questions about bob hairstyles. Maybe now you better understand why some stylists insist whether you want to copy a look or change your look bobs are your safest bet. You can go curly, amp them with volume or just wash it and go.
