Orlando's Most Fabulous Bob Hair Cuts

Linda Schiffer

Today’s most trendy hair cut is the Bob.  There are several variations of this cut and it takes a hair stylist with up-to-the minute knowledge of current styles to make it work for you.

Every woman today wants to emulate a favorite female role model.  One of the most copied hair styles of the decade is Victoria Beckham’s short, short bob.  A busy lifestyle and a great hair cut match Victoria’s life on airplanes, at special events and down time.

What is a Bob?

Bobs are cut depending on the shape and length of your face.  They can be short or they can be shoulder length.  The cut is blunt but the styles you are able to create from a great hair cut are numerous.

Bobbed hair can be curly, it can be sleek and sophisticated, like Victoria’s, and when adding highlights to the hair, it can be fun or formal.  People with curly hair will have to settle for a longer version of bobbed hair as curly hair does not lend itself to certain hairstyles as easily as straight hair does.

Maintaining a bobbed hair cut is probably one of the most given reasons by women who have busy lifestyles and do not want to spend hours fussing with their hair. A good hair cut for a bob will last for several months without losing its shape.

An unusual form of bobbed hair is the Asymmetrical cut, famed for Victoria Beckham’s look among others. This style of hair cut is shorter in the back and longer on the sides.  It can have bangs or not.

To achieve this look, what is needed before putting scissor to hair is a really skilled stylist who is comfortable with creating texture through the use of a straight razor to get the right amount of bounce in your hair.

How Do I Get This Look?

By discussing this hair cut with your hairdresser you can prune down the aspects of the bobbed cut that will suit you including where things could and should be adapted to most flatter your face shape and his/her styling skills.

Almost everyone can wear this short form of hair cut. It flatters practically all shaped faces and hair textures.  Fine hair becomes more manageable, getting layers that add volume to the hair. Thicker hair, because of the razor cut, gets weight taken out, giving it more life and movement.

Other bob looks can be sleek and shiny or tousled and trendy. A good hair cut is essential but the choice of bob hair styles is up to you. It all depends on whether or not you can keep up a certain style at home.

Choosing the right short hair style is easier today than it was years ago.  Most salons offer computer generated views of what a hair style will look like on you.  If they don’t, there are many web sites that can provide computer generated photos of you wearing the newest looks. Virtual hair styles give you the best vision of what you will look like with a bob, or any other hair cut.

Will I Need Special Products to Maintain My Bobbed Hair Cut?

One of the best features of bobbed hair is that nothing extra is needed to keep it going. A bob is truly a wash-and-wear hair style, whether it is short or just above the shoulders.

When adding any hair highlights to a bob, the best thing to do is check with your hair stylist.  He or she can tell you the very best methods of putting those highlights in.  With bobbed hair, they should be enhancing the cut so that when you enter a room, people notice the cut and not the color first.
