The bob hair style is a very popular hair cut that has been around since our parents and grandparents were little girls. The bob hair cut will never completely be out of fashion.

If you are thinking of giving a bob style a go you will have to consider what sort of bob you would like, as there are many definitions of the bob style. One thing with the bob style is that there is one for every face shape, and if you have fine hair having the right bob can make it look thicker but if you have thick hair a bob can make it more manageable and also look more under controle.

A bob style is very versatile which means that it is perfect for what every texture or thinckness your hair is.

so here are some idears on different bob styles.

The short bob

The short bob looks great with an oval or square face shape, your hair should be dead straight. When asking for this style let the stylist know that you would like the longest piece of hair about an inch above your chin this will give you a face hugging effect.

The best maintenance for this style to keep it looking great is to vist your salon once every month.

The blunt bob

The blunt bob is great if you have very fine hair as it will make your hair look thicker. This style doesn’t work if your hair is curly hair unless you are willing to straighten it everyday.  When asking for this cut ask for a blunt line as a shaggy line will emphasizes thin hair, also having a severe fringe will aslo give sharpness to this hair cut.

The best maintenance for this style to keep it looking great is to blow-dry it straight and finish with straighteners, I would also get it trimmed every 6 weeks to keep the style in shape.

The curly bob

The curly bob looks great, but if you have a round face shape have the hair longer than your chin and also a bit longer on the neck just to balance this style.

obviously you will need curly hair but if your hair is in spirals be careful that you dont cut it to short. When asking for this cut ask your stylist to keep the length at your cheekbones this is because curls can retract at least an inch. Having individual curls cut will help create choppiness but try to avoid bulkiness.

The best maintenance to keep this style looking great is to have it trimmed every 6 weeks. Once you have had it cut in to the style don’t over do it with tons of products as the cut will give it shape.

The romantic bob

The romantic bob looks best if you have medium to fine wavy hair so if you have thick hair you will find it will end up very pouffy. When asking for this cut tell your stylist that you want it to fall to about the middle of your neck and also that you would like long layers.

The best maintenance to keep this style looking great is to have it trimmed every 6 to 8 weeks. To keep it springy blow-dry with a diffuser.

The angled bob

This bob works with most hair types but is easier to style if your hair is fine and straight. If you have a round face shape you will find the angled bob will make your face appear thinner, but if you have narrow features you will find that it will make your face appear longer.

When asking for this cut you want it to be razor cut on the ends to texturizes the hair,  this will leave the back of your hair look soft and not so harsh.

The best maintenance to keep this style looking great is to have it trimmed every 6 to 8 weeks.

So which bob is for you.

Have you been trying to decide whether or not to changing your hair style.

Most of us go thought the same cycle of growing are hair long and then getting bored with it and chopping to short again, but then we regret it and start to grow it long again.

So before going to have your hair all cut off here are some tips to look at first.

1) Think about the texture of your  hair first because if you have thick curly hair and want a bob that is smooth and straight you will find you will have to style your hair everyday.

2) I would all ways consider how long it will take to grow your hair back to the length it is before you cut it off (just in case you regret what you have done).

your hair grows averagely at about half an inch per month so if  you decide to cut off 12 inches of your hair it will tack you about 2 years to grow it back to the  length you loved.

3) When choosing a style think about how much maintenance you want to deal with daily. A lot of us think the shorter the hair is the easier it will be to manage but sorry to tell you this is just a myth.

4) I thing i would do before cutting your hair off is cut lots of photos of style you like out and then book an appointment with your stylist for consultation to get some advise .

She will be a good judge on whether any of the styles you like are realistic for you.

Now you are ready to go ahead and get the new you.

Go on love your hair don’t loathe it.

Dita Von Teese wears her hair in the 1940s style fashion.
Her hair is jet black even if her natural colour is blonde.
As many of you that dont know dita Von Teese dose her own hair, its curled to help perfect the 1940s pin up look.

Here are some tip on how to get the look.

1) once you have washed your hair you need to apply a heat protection product to your hair as you will be putting your hair under a lot of heat, so protecting it as much as you can from damage.

2) Now you need to dry your hair but dont blowdry your hair straigth, once your hair is dry you need to make a deep side parting.

3) Now it is time to start curling your hair the best way to do this is with heated rollers.
I always start putting the rollers in from the top of the head down to the nape of the neck, you need to put the rollers in vertical and not horizontal as you will find it hard to get that glamorous Dita Von teese style that you want so much.

4) now your hair is in rollers you need to spray your hair with a mist of medium to stronge flexible hold hair spray this will help the curls stay in but still giving it a natral movement at the same time.

5) Now you need to leave your rollers in for about 15 to 20 minuets or untill they are cold.
It also depends on how well your hair takes to being curld.

6) Once your hair is ready take your rollers out bot do not pull on the curls to much.
Also do not brush your hair.

7) Now all your rollers are out you now need to apply a shine serum this is to add extra shine which will give you a healthy look just like Dita Von Teese.
Work the shine serum into your hair with your hair with your hand using your fingers as a comb do this carefully as you dont want to do this too much and it will mess up the style.

8) Wether you want your hair pin up at the temple or if you want to leave it down as you know Dita Von Teese wears her hair both ways.
If you want to pin yours up you need to pin it up around your temple and then move it back to create a wave.
But if you want to wear it down you simply just have to tuck the hair behind your ear one the side that your parting is on.

9) Once you have the style that you want just finish off with a litte hair spray and a bit of shine spray and your ready to go.

When looking for the right style it is always best to look at your face shape because all hair styles dont go with any face shape, there are lots of different faces shapes;
Round, square, oval and heart.

The best way to find out your face shape is to ask your stylist or you can look at hair books this will help you find out the right one for you.

The best styles for people with a round face shape are sorter hair styles with a bit of height on top of the head, and it is best to stay away from full fringes if you want a fringe it is best to go for one that sits to the side of the head.

The best styles for people with a square face shape are to go for softer hair styles this will reduce the angular jaw line also by adding fullness around the temples and the cheekbone will give a illusion of roundness.

The best styles for people with a long face shape are to go with a style that has width at the side you can do this by using loose soft waves or curls, it is good to go for a medium length hair style with fullness around the ears. By adding a fringe can also shorten the effect of a over long face.

The best styles for people with a heart- shape face are a styles like an asymmetrical or a side parting can look good on this face shape, it is also good to have to much width at the temples and have fullness at round the chin.
