Remarkable Chin-Length Wavy Bob
@mollybstylin

For this chin length bob, Boyd says its greatest strength is the interior layers that are cut with a razor to give volume and textured flare without it looking chopped, with a bunch of heavy wavy layers on the outside of the hair.
“If you love this textured bob haircut, invest in a wand or curling iron. Find a stylist that can teach you how to use appropriate products for your hair type, and be willing to revisit the salon every 7-8 weeks for a haircut,” adds Boyd.
“This is a styled bob, so having about 30 minutes in the morning to style it would be important,” she adds. “However, with some dry shampoo or dry texture sprays, you can rock this wavy layered hair for a few days.”

This textured asymmetrical bob with natural texture was created by stylist and colorist Katelynn Kwasniak of Londonderry, NH.
“For women considering a bob or variation of this style, let them know it is a cut that needs styling,” explains Kwasniak. “Make sure that they know not only how to style a wavy bob, but also what products they should be using. You want to be able to recreate this bob at home, and be comfortable and confident doing so.”
Kwasniak says to try these products for styling a bob. “Morrocan Oil is a wonderful heat protectant and also gives the hair great shine. A mousse or root lifter is excellent for finer hair types. Use Amika’s Body Whipped Mousse because it’s lightweight. Puff.Me Volumizing Cloud Mist will also give tons of texture and lift,” she states.
Finishing products are key for messy wavy bob hairstyles! Kwasniak’s go-to products are Amikas Touchable Hairspray and Kenra’s Texture Taffy for those detail pieces.
She says that all women can pull off a bob style with wavy texture! “It really just depends on how you are cutting to either accent or conceal certain facial features. Women with both fine and thick wavy hair that pull the style off with ease.”

When styling a textured wavy bob, Quach advises to always start with a leave-in heat protectant like UNITE’s 7 Seconds. “Then follow up with a blowout lotion. The biggest key to recreating these messy waves though is a dry texture spray. UNITE has one called Texturiza that is amazing. For shorter hair, stick to a 1-inch barrel curling iron,” she explains.
Bobs are all about sass and look good on ladies of all ages. To be recreated at home, you must be committed to curling it on a regular basis. “And just remember, shorter hair is not always faster to style,” she adds.
Auburn Sexy Soft Waves on a Medium Bob

Senior stylist Elise Alves of Oakville, ON created this soft wave bob cut. “It is not quite a curl, but a little more than a beach wave,” she explains.

Alves suggests you try Kerastase Creme de la Creme for hold, along with their Nectar Thermique for added heat protection. To finish, try Aveda Air Control hairspray. “If you’re looking to add more body and texture, use Aveda Dry Shampoo all over the roots,” she adds.
The wave adds the beautiful bounce to medium-haired women, bringing fullness and life to their hair that they sometimes feel is lacking.

Modern Long Wavy Bob
@halleymcgarey
Thanks to the voluminous waves in these dense tresses, this long bob turn out is so captivating! The dimensional bronde shade in this modern long wavy bob could add a glow to your entire appearance.
This long wavy bob was created by hairstylist Halley McGarey of Barrie, ON.
As for the style, McGarey says to use all Bumble and Bumble products. “First, start with Prep which is a primer (kinda like for your face makeup but instead for your hair). Then, use a serum to protect your hair from heat and moisturize your hair. It’s called Save The Day.
After the serum, use Surf Foam Spray to give the style longevity, hold, and texture. After the products go in, rough dry your hair with the blow dryer and create the wave with a 1-inch iron. Always alternate the waves in different directions to give movement and interest to the style,” she explains.
“Give yourself volume with your blow-dryer and product and keep your iron down low, so you get that effortless waves,” adds McGarey. “After all of this, finish off with a texture spray Sumo Spray Wax.”
She firmly believes this wavy lob is a really easy style to do once you get the hang of it. “If you use a good shampoo, conditioner, and products, you should be able to get around 3-4 days of use. This cut isn’t for women who have to wear their hair back for most of the day, unless you don’t mind wearing it half up.”

Braided Bob with Wavy Texture
@ewhairandmakeup
If you wish to flaunt your honey blonde with a gorgeous edge, check this one out! Get your locks braided with wavy texture, and start to make an exceptional impression. It works on most haircuts, so it’ll be stunning on your length that sits right on your shoulders.
Hairstylist Emily Willimas of Bristol, UK created this braided bob with wavy texture. “The wavy style can be adapted to all face shapes with a bit of backcombing and tweaking here and there,” she states.
Williams says to make sure the hair is not too clean, as both beachy waves and braids work best in hair that has been lived in for a day or two.
“Use an H2D medium wand and grab random sections. Hold them on the wand for a couple of seconds before releasing them. Holding the hair for a few seconds rather than the usual 10 seconds will mean the hair will get more of a bend rather than a curl, and you want to make sure you wave each section in opposite directions,” she explains.
Almost every hair type and face shape can wear this modern wavy bob. If you have a round face, add some height with backcombing at the crown. If you have a long face then leave out the backcombing and add some width at the sides by really pulling out the braids and not pulling them back.

Pixie Bob Undercut with Wavy Texture
@lizpaintshair
Definitely, a lived-in hair goal! Give this stunning pixie bob undercut a touch of chicness with added waves. An unconventional cut to be paired with a dimensional ash blonde is a total trendsetter.
A common misconception about short wavy hair is that it can only have one style, wrong! Hairstylist Liz Hunter of Boca Raton, FL created this particular style. “A short wavy bob haircut can be very versatile. This wavy hair bob can go from unconventional and playful with a hard side part to show off a high disconnected undercut, or parted down the middle for a more conservative yet sharp bob. The color is soft, natural and lived-in that’s perfectly paired with a soft wave to style,” she explains.
When considering a pixie bob like this, Hunter says to be prepared to style and use product! “If you naturally have wavy or curly hair, product is necessary to enhance and maintain this style. If you have straight hair, braids overnight or hot tools will be needed as well as texturizing pastes and/or sprays.”
Shorter haircuts require less styling time but need to be styled! Face shape is also something to consider. Almost every face shape can be complemented by the right short haircut. “Be sure to have a thorough consultation with your stylist to be sure this style is for you,” she adds.
