9 ways to wear a bob

January 10, 2015 By Hair Romance 12 Comments

Think short hair isn’t versatile? Think again.

Short hair is back and one of the hottest haircuts is the blunt bob.

Sporting this chic cut is the fabulous Nella of Nail Polish Addicts Anonymous, the coolest nail art salon in Sydney.

We played around with her hair and found 9 super easy ways to wear a bob that take seconds to do.

9 ways to wear a bob

Hair Romance - Short hairstyles - 9 ways to wear a bob

  1. Side part – the classic look, part on your normal side
  2. Deep side part – flip it up and over to the other side for va-va-volume
  3. Centre part – keep it sleek and chic with a middle part
  4. Part it forward – take your side part, but instead over flipping your hair over, flip it forward to create a sweeping side part
  5. Pin back – Create a quiff by pinning back the front layers, backcomb a little for volume if you like that sort of thing
  6. Top knot – create a mini loop bun with the top layers of your bob
  7. Curl it – take a mini curling wand and add in some curls for texture
  8. Curl it forward – create a deep side part and create a faux-fringe with your curls
  9. Curled quiff – Use that texture from the curls to pin back your top layers, great for second day hair

How to get this cut

At the salon, ask for a blunt, chin-grazing bob. Ask for your hair to be cut with a centre part to give more versatility in styling.

The blunt bob suits straight to wavy hair and is best for fine to medium thickness hair.

If your hair is curly or thick, get your stylist to add in some layers so you don’t end up with an awkward triangle shape in the finished style. Personally I love this haircut but it will never suit my hair type. I tried it once and totally had the triangle. Curls look great in a bob but you need more shaping. A blunt cut is not for curly girls.

Have you recently cut your hair too? What’s your favourite way to wear a blunt bob?

    You read my mind! Just yesterday I cut my long hair into a bob. My hair has a gentle curl and I wanted layers so I could wear it messy and avoid triangle head..not sure if my hairdresser ‘got’ it…we will see when I wash it and let it do it’s thing!

    Super cute! I recently cut my hair into a bob because it is super thick and was driving me crazy. It works pretty well with my natural wave/curl most days so I let it dry naturally which is a nice break for my hair. I also like to twist the front parts and then pin them at the back or on the sides to get some of the bulk away from my face when I want a bit of a change.

    I cut my hair into a lob just before Christmas. This is after having long hair for the past 5 years! I have thick wavy hair so was really worried how the lob would turn out but my hairdresser did a fantastic job! I’m really loving my lob and even considering cutting it into a shorter bob next. The funny thing is I now embrace my wavy hair more than when it was long. I think it is easier to wear my hair in my natural waves now that it’s in a lob!

      love it too Steph! Depends how thick your hair is but you may be able to achieve it with a lob or slightly layered bob x
