Copy These Cute New Celeb Bobs
The bob is here to stay and celebs love them. Hayden Panettiere, Jennifer Hudson and Eva Longoria all recently cut their long hair into bobs. Here’s how to achieve these looks for yourself.
Hayden Panettiere’s Lightly Layered Bob
This bob is gently layered to add subtle roundness and shape to the look. To style it, spritz styling spray on wet hair, then use a Mason Pearson brush while blow-drying. Slightly bend the hair under with the brush as you blow-dry. If any pieces need a little taming when hair is dry, smooth them with a flat iron.
Hayden’s long bangs are brushed aside to open up her face and let her beautiful facial features show through. For a more modern look, bangs can be styled down on the forehead instead.
Jennifer Hudson’s Beveled Bob
Start with clean, wet hair. If you have fine hair, add a thickening spray. Then use a medium round brush with a metal barrel and nylon bristles to blow-dry. If you have thick hair, you’ll want to use a flat iron after blow-drying to achieve the slanted look.
If you put in too much curl when blow-drying, take some out by raking your fingers through the hair. This gives a straighter look while maintaining fullness and volume.
Eva Longoria’s Rounded Bob
Apply styling spray to wet hair. Blow-dry hair with a flat brush, rolling the wrist under at the ends to achieve the roundness in this ‘do. Create a deep side part and push hair behind one ear.
Avoid volumizing products, which will make this style look like a mushroom, which is what you don’t want.
Invest in a good set of hot rollers ladies. We're going to be seeing lots of retro/glam styles like those worn by Christina Aguilera, Katherine Heigl, Dita Von Teese and Liv Tyler in the next few months.
Hair colors, like perms, are chemically based. If you’re pregnant, be sure to check with your doctor before coloring your hair.
