How to Get the Perfect Curly Bob for Women with Straight and
Naturally Curly Hair
Bob haircuts can accommodate people with both straight and curly
hair. Women with straight hair can sport a curly bob hairstyle just as
much as women with curly hair can transform their hair into a sleek and
straight bob. However, when it comes to curly bobs, styling plays a huge
role in creating the look you want. For those with naturally curly hair,
volume is often reduced. On the other hand, if you have naturally
straight hair sporting a curly bob, volume is increased. Below are some
tips in creating and maintaining the curly bob for both straight and
curly hair types:
For Women with Naturally Curly Hair
Despite what someone who has curly hair may think, bob hairstyles and
curly hair is a match made in heaven because curly hairs have natural
amounts of volume. When a graduated bob is done, it would anchor the
weight by stacking volume gradually. However, it is important to keep
the length of the bob somewhere below the neck to avoid making the
person’s head look like a triangle. This is particularly important to
women with spiral or very curly hair because a short bob haircut could
bounce up high on the face and look shorter than desired. Generally,
curls retract at leach an inch. If you have a round face, ask the
stylist to keep the bob longer than your chin.
Maintaining bobbed hairstyle can be done with a styling cream and hair
gel to make hair tamable. Textures also work wonders in adding volume to
curly bobs. It is also as low maintenance as any other bob. Fortunately
for women with curly hair, the graduated bob already has plenty of
shape, so you don’t need a lot of products. Trimming should be done
every six weeks.
For Women with Straight Hair, but Want a Curly Bob Hairdo
If you want to re-create the soft, curly bob hairstyles of old
Hollywood, but feel that your straight hair would be too stubborn for a
bob, you’re wrong. Any hair texture can be made into a bob. When
cutting, the top of the head is sectioned into a triangle from the end
of each eyebrow and the remaining hair is sectioned from each eyebrow to
around 2 cm above the ear down to the occipital. The second
section is cut in a gradual layer, before the center is cut to create
bangs about 15 to 17 cm down to the eyes. To create a curly
look, the hair is texturised with thinning scissors.
Professional stylists recommend having a bob with curly hair if the hair
is kept longer than the chin. If you have straight hair, it is better to
have longer curls when styling. You can simply use hair products that
allow the curls to flow, such as a frizz-easing product that creates a
sleeker look. Always allow the curls to dry out naturally, particularly
if you want a more natural look. Curlers can also be used in increasing
volume.
