The Best Ways To Style A Bob Haircut This Summer

Cutting your hair short for summer just seems to make perfect sense. You won’t have to worry about your hair weighing you down or making you overheat. Therefore, a bob haircut seems to make the most practical for lazing around this summer. With the likes of Lucy Hale (of Pretty Little Liars fame) choosing to adopt one it can also be perfect for you. However, many are scared to make this dramatic change. As they fear they are limited when styling this look. Below, is a list of styles that look gorgeous on a bob haircut.

Futuristic

The easiest way to style your bob is to straighten it. But to give this seriously outdated style an uplift you should get your hair cut bluntly. That way, when you straighten your locks, the blunt edge adds a sense of drama to this look. Straight bobs create a sexy and sophisticated look which will surely warrant you tons of attention.

Braids

Summer is a time for festivals. Which means braids for everyone. What better hairstyle for partying the days away than braids? It keeps your hair in place whilst still being neat and tidy. Just because you have a bob doesn’t mean you can’t join in on this trend. Whether you want to go with classic French plaits or a side braid on a down do. Either will be alluring.

Wavy Locks

The perfect hairstyle for spending your summer days is beachy waves. A bob can be difficult to keep its texture and waves add another dimension. This look is not difficult to pull off either. When using your straighteners, straighten 1/3 of your hair then pull your wrist forward then when reaching the ends quickly pull it back. This creates subtle waves that everyone will be jealous of.

Bangs

The bob’s partner in crime is definitely bangs. Not for the faint of heart as it takes a specific person to pull this look off. But if you have an oval face shape and a large forehead then bangs are definitely for you. To style this look, choose soft blunt bangs as these are the easiest to style with a straightener.

Half up Topknot

Whether your hair is naturally curly, wavy or straight, this look will suit them all. To style this look section off half of your hair and pull it back securing it in a bobble. Pull the hair completely through to the level you like. Then wrap the ponytail around the bobble until you have the shape of a bun. Secure this in place with another bobble. This style is perfect following 3-4 days of styling when your hair is needing to lay off of the heat. You can make this look as messy or controlled as you like, which makes it perfect for the bob haircut.

Curls

Curls will always be a massive trend in the hair industry. They’re easy to manage and look good whatever your hair length might be. Whether you fancy soft or tight curls, they will look great on a bob. To create a soft curl, section off your hair and use a curling wand. Hold your section of hair on the heat for 3 seconds then let go. This will create soft ringlets- perfect for attending those summer weddings!

Headband

A headband is a perfect accessory for a bob haircut. If you’re feeling lazy, hitting the gym or short on time, the headband is for you. Simply slip a headband at the front of your hair and wear it natural after brushing. Not only does it save you time, but it also keeps your hair out of your face while you’re tackling those fun summer activities.

I think it’s clear that a bob haircut shouldn’t be feared. Let us know which style is your favourite in the comments!
