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 example of a typical 1940s hairstyle. The young woman is wearing a partial updo which features victory rolls on the sides. She uses an original looking accessory on top that resembles a crown of some kind. Her long dark hair cascades over her shoulders for a very feminine look. Her fair complexion and dark red lips are typical from this post war era and this photograph was taken just after WWII. That is my father in the picture with her.
