Adrianne Palicki has a cute and stylish short wavy bob here that would be perfect for a new look for back to school, starting a new career/job, or just for a new look for fall. You may just be looking for a new short cut for a fresh new start after a big break-up. This is an easy care style and totally up to date. A similar do was extremely popular back in the late 80s and early 90s and you can see in this example. Back then the curls were tighter and kinkier and they were accomplished with a spiral perm. They were also much more poofy. Today's in style look is more relaxed and looser. A little curl enhancing product along with a diffuser and finger scrunching will help to get this sassy bob. Winding a few sections of dry strands around a small barrel curling iron will help to seal the deal.

What is new for the bob? Asymmetry and not so sharply angled, those attributes are what make this popular short hairstyle hot right now. This woman here has a straight style with one side being longer than the other, the ends are slightly tucked under, and the bangs are very fringy which can be accomplished with a little razor cutting. Her red color makes this cute 'do especially different.

If a little vintage is in order, take a look at this picture of a 1920s woman with a short bob with side swept bangs and curly ends. The part is placed way over to one side and the top is swooped over. The curls are big a puffy but just concentrated on the bottom third and the rest is smooth and straight.

A simple white headband holds back the locks on Paris Hilton's bob hairstyle. She is seen here at "The Good Life" Photo Exhibition of Photographers Charity Auction on June 27th 2008. Her blonde hair looks nice with her suntan which is a great contrast to her white sundress. She has a medium length that hits just past her shoulders. Her casual side part leads into side swept bangs. Her beautiful blue eyes really stand out here.

As the 80's passed to the end of that decade and turned toward the 90's, the big hair was still alive but it changed just a little bit. The classic 1980s puffy top 'do was about to be put to rest, but the fluff was not yet dead. The gradual transition from top heavy to bottom heavy was taking shape. This picture of a bunch of girlfriends from that era (pic was taken around 1989) shows a variety of hairstyles, but they have one thing in common: curly locks. It looks like there are a couple of examples of mall bangs here like the gal on the upper left and right. A popular early 90's look was the spiral perm bob as seen on the woman in the front row and right of center.

Charlize Theron is sporting a short wavy bob here in this photo of her taken at the event: Good Morning America Taping Promoting her New Movie "Sleepwalking" on March 13th 2008. We love the care-free look of this fun and feminine hairdo. To get this style for yourself, smooth out the top layers while blow-drying with a paddle brush and then use a diffuser while scrunching and spiraling with fingers on the lower half. A narrow flat iron can be used to touch up the waves by holding it vertically and winding sections around it in a spiral motion. A defining hair product on palms can be used to help with the styling once the strands are dry. Do not brush through locks but rather use fingers to prevent a frizzy appearance.
