The bob haircut is the most popular and virtually eternal. There are many options for a bob: straight bob, bob bob, long bob, and so on. In the salon, after a haircut, the stylist can offer a variety of styling options to complete the client's look. From the outside it seems that it’s easy to do this kind of styling at home, but after the next hair wash we are faced with the fact that we don’t know how to style our hair ourselves. In fact, everything is very simple. Today I want to suggest a couple of styling options at home that can be recommended to clients.

First, wash your hair (I told you earlier how to properly wash your hair and choose cosmetics for your hair).

Option 1 – straighten your hair

After washing our hair, we blow dry it to 30%, that is, we leave the hair 70% damp. Apply a styling product (I always recommend a moisturizing spray conditioner or antistatic). For natural volume, dry your hair by tilting your head down and using a massage comb to give direction.

After the roots have dried, we raise our heads and use a hairdryer to give direction to the haircut. Then, using a round brush, we smooth it out, leveling or slightly twisting the strands inward. After completing the styling on top, smooth the hair with cream or wax and fix it with spray varnish.

Option 2 if we want to get beach curls

We washed our hair and dried it with a hairdryer, leaving 70% humidity. We apply a moisturizing spray, antistatic and thermal protection. Dry your hair as described above. Then we separate them into small strands and use a straightening iron to create waves. We hold the iron at an angle of 45° and, twisting, slide it along the strand. At the end, take a cream, modeling paste, wax or texturizing spray and comb the curls with your fingers.

The same can be done with a curling iron. If you have bangs, then this is not a problem. We directed it forward and straightened it with a straightening iron, and for variety I recommend collecting the bangs like a little one: lifting them up and strengthening them with a bobby pin.
