For the sleekest look possible, focus on styling your bob in ways that keep layers stacked the way your stylist cut them.
If you have fine or sensitive hair, using heat while it’s short could do a lot of damage. Using a comb is a much safer bet for your hair, if this is the case.
Try not to get the lotion on your scalp, as it can block pores.
You can spray once above your head, once on the left, and once on the right for full coverage without too much product. Hairspray is important for keeping layers from bouncing out.
Always wear hand protection when using a curling iron. Bobs can make your curls look fuller than they are, and the curls can help give the bob more texture than straight layers would.
You don’t need to worry about the lack of smoothness mousse provides, since getting a sleek look isn’t on the agenda. If you have delicate curls, you can squeeze the mousse in instead of massaging.
On days where you need to fix especially messy hair, you can use a bristle brush to straighten it up. Air-drying is better than blow-drying for these looks, ensuring you get soft waves without frizz.
Avoid straight bangs if you are trying to create a soft style. Get a light fringe that brings your hair over the sides of your forehead if you want to soften the bob without committing to bangs.
Apply a little pomade to the ends of your hair to add some extra volume and texture.
