Short Bob Hairstyles
Published: 09/30/2011 | HairDB.comThe Bob hairstyle has continued to rise in popularity as more and more women realize the incredible style that it can provide. Unlike many of the other different hairstyles available, a Bob is something that is fairly versatile and interesting. Women with multiple face structures can pull off short bob hairstyles because of all of the different variations that are available.
If you are thinking about getting a Bob hairstyle, you need to understand if the style is right for you and what exact style is perfect for you. Thinking about which style is right for your face will help you to look your best.
A Round Face
If you have been told that you cannot pull off a Bob hairstyle with a round face, you have been led astray. It is possible for you to enjoy this hairstyle. You simply need to make sure that your bob is sleek and thin, and longer than normal bobs. The length is going to give an illusion of length to your face, making it appear less round. The thin, sleek bob is going to reduce the amount of volume added to the sides of your head, again giving your face a thinner appearance. For these women, short Bob hairstyles are not right but longer Bob styles are perfect.
A Thin Face
Long faces, or thin faces, are the perfect faces for short Bob hairstyles. You will be able to go from the chin up, as your thin face will allow for a wide variety of short bobs. Long bobs would actually make the face look thinner, which is why short bobs are best for this particular face structure and style. Those who have a thin face are better suited for bobs with harsh bangs and bobs that feature layers. Remember, with a thin face, the more volume the better.
Trying New Bobs
If you are looking into short bob hairstyles but want something more than the usual harsh bob, consider some new styles that are becoming more and more popular. A Bob with wavy hair or with slightly curly hair has become popular, as it offers a less-harsh version of the popular haircut. On the flip side, a bob that features harsh, straight bangs across the forehead makes the bob even more harsh and dramatic. While very short bob hairstyles are not for everyone, these different variations make the bob more accessible and more fun for people with all types of face structures and hair thicknesses.
It is crucial that you speak with your hairstylist and give them detailed information on the type of bob that you want, should you choose this as your style. Short bob hairstyles can vary drastically, so a poor description on your end can lead to miscommunication. Try to find pictures of women who have the short bob hairstyles you are interested in and have a conversation with your stylist. They will let you now if that particular hairstyle is right for your face and whether or not it is the hairstyle you should choose.
