Haircuts that simply fall into place make styling easy and this bob hairstyle is cute as well. Those with fine textured hair may find a style like this to be ideal as the short length and cut help to make the locks look thicker. This young woman has long bangs that are clipped at an angle and are brushed to one side. Hair is basically snipped just above the shoulder and just a little layering around the bottom gives some movement. This is a straight style that requires very minimum effort. A paddle brush and a blow-dryer is about all you would need.

Angled bobs are very popular right now and work will for those women with medium to fine texture hair. There is some fullness at the crown which can be created with a little root lifter sprayed onto damp hair prior to blow-drying. It is important to concentrate the product near the base of the shaft near the scalp. Use a round or paddle brush and direct air in a downward motion. Touch up with a flat iron to get that sleek and straight look but make sure hair is completely dry first. A little back combing at the crown will help get more lift in this area and then smooth over the top layer. A deep side part with bangs swept to the other side finishes this smash hit.

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.

Here is a great side view of Victoria Beckham's sharply angled inverted bob. If you are looking for a picture to take to your stylist, this would be a good one. It shows the back length and the way the strands gets longer toward the front. The pieces in the front hang down a couple inches past her chin. The back is cut up off of her collar and there is layering involved to bring fullness to areas like the rear and on top. This is a great short sedu hairstyle in which a flat iron is used to create the stick straight appearance. She does have bangs which are styled to the side for a bangless look. Victoria has gone darker with her locks here to a light brown with some golden highlights which are beautiful on her.

Looking for a great way to turn a bob hairstyle into a retro hairdo? Here is a cute look using a headband. This is a very short version of this time-less and popular "do." Hair is cut at chin length and bangs are cut straight across just hitting the eyebrow and then graduating slightly at the sides. This is a great style for a narrow face bringing width to it. The strands on the top are back combed with the top layer smoothed over to get the look of a bouffant and then a wide headband is placed. What a great way to turn a simple bob into a retro 60's look.
